When I first started playing PvP, I asked around the den for a few pointers and slowly learned by myself in-game, during a time of 5.x where things were definitely not so straight forward as to "have 6 buttons + LB" like now. Adamantoise was one of the nicest places and all these people who others chalk up to "premades" or "sweats" actually sat in tells and some even missed a queue or two to help teach me some better combos and learn standard stuff! I wanted to share the knowledge I had with other players, I try to help out with dueling and FL as much as I can, if people are willing to learn. That isn't to say however that my first time meeting Jessa Marko; they seemed a bit angry that others were gathering around during a 6.x event and have some fun together, was calling people names, saying they're stupid, ruining the mode etc. I asked politely like "hey man! want to just have some fun and join in? I'm alright with taking you along if you'd like" to the response I got was "you're just like the rest of them". I've seen them queue dodge, leave a game as its going after dying once, yell at people constantly, be rude to someone who made ONE PING about scooting back a bit. Hell actually, I see them leave games constantly or sit idle and scream at people for enjoying the mode more than them. So yes Mawlzy, you've been rude to me. You've been horribly rude to many of my friends who I play for fun with. You yell about a fire that you yourself have been a part of for more than months, it's disappointing, you bring hate to yourself not by what you believe in but how you fight for it. You attack others with ad hominem and cut every situation with anything BUT occam's razor. just, relax, man... nobody is out to get you like you've been thinking. Playing solo for all these years I've learned to just roll with the punches. Even then I've gotten a very high average win rate and I play solo 90%+ of the time. I do not however, like 1600/100/100 stomps and never will. I don't grow as a player and I don't like seeing the little ones be trampled into the ground since I know those players--JUST LIKE ME back then--could be the next generation of "okay maybe one more FL".

The logic in "hating premades" falls apart like wet paper towels when you realize that during peak hours, if all of those "premades" were to queue solo, they'll be put into teams together anyways with other players they know. 30+ good players queueing solo will have a similar effect to that same match as "premades" do.
