Tactful ways to inform people that they're playing badly?

[Hash_Browns]

You have absolutely no way to tell for absolute sure that they aren't trying. You aren't in the room with them. You aren't in their head. You don't know their motivations. You only *assume* that they are out to make your day hard. You have absolutely no way to know they aren't giving it their all and it's pretentious to think that you do. Unless you run with Trusts, you aren't playing with robots. Those are people behind the screen. They derp, they have lag, they have distractions, they fat finger their rotation, and any number of things. They aren't perfect. And when you let the game randomly match you up, you are accepting that all of that can happen. If you can't handle that and need that perfection, then the game gives you an option with premades.

We aren't talking about about people who are fat fingering, or learning new skills here. We are talking about people who are actively not trying to learn, and scolding people for handing them advice to improve.

The best example I can give is my old static had a dancer. He wasn't at all pulling his weight anywhere near what a dancer should be - and when I brought this up to someone they had mentioned that he could do more damage auto-attacking.

When I confronted him, he got in my face about it. Explained that he only failed because I wasn't calling out mechanics for him. That if I couldn't tell him what exactly he was doing wrong with a class I didn't play at the time, that I needed to keep my mouth shut. That's the type of people I'm talking about. It's very easy to spot people who AREN'T willing to learn because they do little damage, and just push buttons when we have a library worth of resources to go through for each class.

I'm in no way asking for perfection, but I am asking that people who queue into +50 content at least have the very basic understanding of the class they are playing - which seems to still be lacking in level 80 content.
