So you're a dick to your own teammates, then call them soft when tons of them report you? Ok. Sounds like Psyonix needs to add an automated banhammer system that gives you at least temporary bans if you get reported alot. 1000 reports out of 8000 matches is alot, in most games you would have been permabanned by now with a record like that. In 15 years of online gaming, I probably haven't been reported more than 200 times across all games, and most of those were troll reports from people salty because they lost or people reporting me for lag switching back when I had crappy slow DSL, rather than legit reports. Why do I have so few reports? Because I'm a nice person in online games just like I am in real life, I don't send hate messages to people, I don't teabag, I don't try to stir up my teammates or my enemies on purpose, I don't team kill, I don't standby or lag switch, etc.

I've been online gaming as long as Xbox Live has existed, and a troll is still a troll, just like they've always been. Just as a for instance, I'm an avid Dead By Daylight player, and that game is filled with toxic troll survivors, people who teabag, body block hooks, flashlight after every pallet break, practice juking skills, and then complain if you "tunnel" them (DbD slang for concentrating on one survivor at a time instead of spreading out your attacks across all 4 survivors) or patrol near the hooks. But as toxic as DbD survivors can be at times, I don't see how they're any worse than some of the trolls I used to get matched with in Halo or CoD a decade ago, people who teabagged, betrayed you if you picked up a weapon they wanted in Halo, people who lag switched, people who played music over their mic just to annoy others, etc.

The thing is they would have reviewed many of the reports and decided i didn't cross the line. My point is people are so easily triggered these days it's actually a joy to set them off. Their problem not mine. 

 

Somebody above asked for direct examples. I just played 3 games there so I'll tell you what happened. First game 2v2 and my team mate has 2 shocking attempts at saving and the opposition go 2 - 0 up. So i use the quick chat prompt to write "what a save!" a few times in s row. He implodes and joins the other team for the whole game which is actually a banable offence. We end up losing 8 - 0. I still had fun playing 1v3.

 

Next game 3v3 and we win. I was being cheeky in the chat saying this like Ezzz After we scored the first goal or "Next" after the others. Didn't get any reaction and the game concludes with a win. 

 

So third match was 3v3 and i just finished it about 10mins ago. So the other team go 2 - 0 up. I can't remember what I said but i was being cheeky to the other team when we pulled a goal back. Probably just said the "what a save" thing again. Straight away one of the opposition goes afk and insults my psn name. Then he returns and forgets about defending and drives down my end to demolish me which he does. But just as he did we score to make it 2-2. So now the real fun begins. I laugh in the chat and tell him his boom failed.

 

We beat them 4 2 with me ending up as the mvp and the other team are going apeshit in the chat. So the main culprit afterwards messages me via psn and this is the conversation we have.

 

Him: u got tourettes do ya? Bum ass annoying cunt.

 

Me: just accept I'm the better man and move along

 

Him: there was no purpose in you getting born, do u realize dat?

 

Me: alright calm down calm down

 

Him: alright move along kid

 

Me: that's what i just said. You clearly demonstrated you have anger issues when you lose so best you take my advice and scarper with your tail between your lege. Adios.

 

Him:

Lol

Who's man is this 

So your saying no one else but me gets angry when some random kid annoys the living shit out of everyone. Good one mate. 

 

Me: you lost i won. You're angry I'm happy. Get over it.

 

And as we speak he's sending more.
