The arrogance of some people

[Eothas]

there's nothing wrong with choosing excitement over effectiveness. (I play that way myself quite often.) Just don't go around pretending it makes you a better player.

Except that players playing "agressive and dangerous" are choosing effectiveness, and it does make them better players, period. period. period. On a side note, I can't remember the last time that I let a tank die for using my DPS skills, even if they were noob or new.

You can keep coming with wall of texts, it will not change, the obvious will not change. Whats your next step? pull a biblical text and do an analysis using hermeneutics to try to justify bad players? You can do that, but keep in mind that you are doing a disservice to the community, you are INCREASING toxicity. it's already has been proved by Riot Games that if players know that they have room for improvement, they will behave better, you can see this clearly in any MOBA ranked system, how?


In low ranking matches (I.E. bronze), there will have much more toxicity, because when something go wrong, most players will imediatelly blame their team mates, why? They think they are already perfect, they don't have room for improvement, so the fault MUST be from someone else, so they start blaming and calling names, and they will be in bronze forever, because they don't try to improve.

Meanwhile in higher ranking matches (I.E. Diamond), usually there will be LESS toxicity, because most players have the mentality that they can improve, when something go wrong, instead of blaming their team mates imediatelly, they think "What could I have done to prevent this?".

A player standing around doing nothing is already perfect, its the best and a better player, ofc. You are encouraging the "bronze" mentality.
