Pvp Behavior Is Embarrasing

[Saru_Grey]

My only complaint is that the PvP community is way too small to have this kind of behavior. It is embarrassing that we are discouraging PvE'rs and newcomers in at least trying PvP.
Ranked Feast I understand that everyone's blood is pumping because it is a leaderboard game and who hates losing. Be realistic: do we want to keep the PvP community small forever or do we want to expand? In the end it's still a game and we should not be here to discourage anyone from playing feast (or Frontlines) again because we lost or try to discourage them from ever PvPing again because of bad behavior - which there are countless threads/posts about these topics.
First impressions do matter and there is no reason to defend bad behavior.

This is only partly true. Losing sucks, But what is infuriating is losing without the slighest chance of winning ... It's being obliterated that causes the salt.

Couldn't agree more.

Even if I lose a match because someone made a mistake, as long as it was a good match, then it's fine. I might do a face-palm for a moment, but I'm not gonna throw a fit over it. I only get salty if I start to feel like I'm being discriminated against by the matchmaking and dumb luck.

Lost one, more or less, even match? No big deal. Lost FIVE consecutive matches against the same platinum ranked healer when your team gets shafted with an unranked healer? No. Just no. At that point, it's hard to keep your calm, because you're basically being told by the game "don't bother playing." Getting a little salty at that point is kind of justified ... which shouldn't really surprise anyone, because it's not exclusive to PvP.

Go into any randomly formed PF group for savage or extreme raid/trial and you can see the same behavior. It only takes a couple of losses for that friendly pack of people to turn into a toxic cesspool of bile and venom, and the player with the least experience in the fight is typically the one who gets b!ched at the most, even if they weren't the one making mistakes.

I've lost plenty of matches where it was a great fight of equal skill on both sides and lost fair and square where everyone put in all their effort

So much this! Those even matches are the best even if you lose, winning or losing because of facerolling is most boring thing that can ever happen in PvP.

I honestly think that there needs to be a requirement in order to Q for ranked play based on PvP rank so that total newbies can't queue up for ranked. New players should be funneled into Front Lines or 8v8 feast to learn and get their skills.

I log in matches as a healer and if i get one non constructive rude insult, i troll the match by not healing said person at all.

If they get extremely rude then since I always enter with another healer friend, we both refuse to heal until they kick one of us, the other leaves too and the game is ruined.

You are worse than them, TBH. That one person insulting you might be causing you to have a bad time, but YOU just ruined the fun of everyone else in the match.

Ok why do you even queue.

[Kai_Lee]

Healers are not the only one that gets blame and criticise, cant tell you how many times im been blame as a tank. Funny thing is when I am literally doing all the things necessary to help us win and im literally playing at my peak for that game and we win, not even a single complement is rewarded. Players like to complain when they lose but say very little to nothing when they win. What a bunch of hypocrites pvpers are.

This is a pretty stupid routine to pull considering you can get reported and suspended for doing this. You are better off not queuing and save everyone the grief tbh.

I honestly could care less If it's ranked content, please stop being mean to new players!

In my opinion, newbies deserve whatever is thrown at them when they queue into ranked content without knowing a single thing about how to PvP or the mode. You don't yet understand how frustrating and insulting it is to get a free loss because of dead weight players.

People with your mentality are selfish for wasting other people's time and energy by not queuing the many other modes that aren't ranked until their gameplay improves enough. If you really want to play competitive-ranked modes, learn how to play proper by practicing in Frontlines or 8v8 Feasts. Ranked PvP modes aren't learning grounds and the fact SE didn't gate them behind some requirement to ensure everyone queuing know what they are doing doesn't excuse that.

If you can't play your job and handle player backlash at your decision to queue ranked, don't queue ranked and go improve yourself in the other modes first. If that still doesn't sound logical to you, I don't know what to say. POTD or Sastasha still exist, no?
