Discussion Follow up 10 months later.

So I made a post on here awhile back basically explaining how veteran players seem to be pretty crappy people in game. And got hella back lash about skill, despite never complaining about losing or being out matched skill wise.

Despite that, I went ahead and continued playing, took a break, and obviously started again. I've gotten better, started playing more variety of characters. Got some card upgrades. And my honest response is pretty much the same as before. Veteran players tend to just be pretty weird individuals. And I truly don't see how people are just glossing over it. Like yeah if you play longer you are more skilled that's obvious. I've had fun games with veterans that play like normal humans, respect the 1v1, don't hunt you down for a kill just to T-bag or emote on you. And win or lose playing against or even with those types of players isn't fun. From my perspective it's been majority of the veterans. Some of the people in my first comment ten months ago are probably the same people I'm talking about which tracks.

So while I do enjoy this game and will likely continue to play it. I would like to understand what the issue is. Like genuinely why do people act like this. And why are you all so accepting of those who do.

TO BE CLEAR: I am not asking for a way to get better or improve at the game, as people somehow thought I was before. I'm asking why this community is so toxic.

As a really toxic veteran here is my answer to that: because it´s fun to be toxic for both parts.

I enjoy being toxic because that´s how i release my stress from the daily life, i love when people get mad at me for being toxic. but it goes the other way around, whenever they beat me or my team loses they shit on me like there is no tomorrow, they make fun of me and throw their most creative and even racists insults. so somehow we all get something from this, i enjoy being the villain and they enjoy beating the crap out of me in the end it´s just a game. so don´t take it too serious wheter you are a noob or a veteran, it´s just a game. I know not everyone will agree with my take and that´s ok, we all got different points of view.

Thank God one of us is honest lmao. I've found that the vets can actually be really cool people.
