Funny thing about competitive... (no, I am not telling you about balance)

(Feley) #1

Today I played few games of competitive and it was all good till I got in game against premade, we of course lost… Now I wanted to try again hoping I would be lucky…
Yeah, another premade… we lost first round, but we had a chance of winning a game afterwards…

(Ok this is where story begins)

Some guy (won’t name and shame sadly) starts friendly firing on purpose… Punish doesn’t do much… Tried vote kicking (doesn’t work cause he had a friend in team), tried vote kicking many times…

Now nothing seemed to work… Those guys were just playing around, killing teammates (and I like to congratulate other team cause they didn’t spawn kill)

But what happens? That guy who was kidding around started vote kick on me… And whole server got included in vote kick, and I was fucking kicked from server after everything they’ve done… Whole other team voted yes, like I did something… Last word I’ve seen was from fair teammate: “wtf?” (commenting on vote kick)

Fuck this toxic community… This needs to stop.

Funny thing, I got warnings… Don’t play comp, don’t play comp, and I tought if people aren’t playing comp it will be even more unbalanced, so I decided to play comp.

I got punished like that…

Another thing… I said friendly fire is cool.
Why the heck did I said such a thing… To prove myself wrong.

I said it in that thread a while ago. FF will be crap.

And ye. Don’t play comp unless you have a nice 5-man-squad.

I liked FF in the game I played, but as with any game, it can be made into a bad thing by assholes, which isn’t the fault of the game.

Something that maybe could be done in the future is set it as an option to have FF on or off on the server.

Luckily I haven’t seen all that much toxicity in casual modes. But there is some:

Earlier this week a guy join my team while the Objective match was in progress. He immediately started being very toxic in chat, calling people idiots for everything when they were making pretty reasonable plays, zero teamplay etc etc. In short he was a burden to the team, and a very loud one. Meanwhile I’m topscoring and staying quiet.

After a few minutes of this behavior I start a votekick. Result 2/6.
Then he starts a votekick to kick me. Result 5/6.
Yep :smile:

Im quite positive that such behavior is pushable. Record and report.
Losers like that should be weeded out asap.

Intentional teamkills (3+ per match) = reset rank! :naughty:

We need a report system for shit like this.

Had a comp match last night go down because a guy decided to in a corner and AFK the entire match, but would come back and move every so often so he wouldnt get kicked.

@Feley
Reason I don’t play anymore, the game has slowly been watered down to satisfy the casual players and it has effected every mode of the game. Comp has always had balance issues that are yet to be fixed or ever will be imo. Open lobbies are badly balanced as expected and there’s not much you can do about that tbh, the problem lies in the way this game teaches new players. It basically doesn’t offer anything in how to play the game properly and relay on easy gamemodes and mechanics. I had high hope for this game at one point and invested in it because I believed it would be the next big comp fps, but it just hasn’t become that. Every big update adds more ‘buyable’ content and very little of the community’s feedback is taken into account, the trade in system is the prime example of that. Excuse my rant though, I’ve been friends with feley since this game came out on steam and we both have watched it go down hill pretty fast, it’s hugely upsetting.

I don’t think the problem is necessarily friendly fire. I think it has more to do with the need for community-run servers. I think that is the only way FF truly works well.

For example, if someone felt like trolling in ET the same way and an admin for the server was in there, that guy would have been kicked in a heartbeat.

Then again, community servers will never be allowed to run ranked matches let alone be in the game anyway, so I guess we can forget about that.

FF is fun, if, and only if you play with people you know. Otherwise, quit it. Mankind is not made to be trust.

FF is a disaster, just as i thought. Just yesterday i was playing as Vassili, trying to ptfo, an ally Proxy turned in my direction and killed me with Hochfir. There was no enemy around. I was like wtf.
And when you try to repair the EV and random Skyhammer teammate drop the airstrike just near the EV…

The only time I play Competitive is when I have a good 5-Man Squad that I know on Steam or on voice chat with. Humans cannot be trusted … EVER!
