My favorite response is "I wasn't trying that hard. It was pretty easy"

Whichever game, it ultimately doesn’t mean anything. Anyone getting upset over them have larger issues. >

I'm a "if they didn't want you to camp they would have not allowed it in the coding" kinda gamer so 🤷‍♂️

People like you is why gamers get a bad rep as a toxic group >

I promise you people looking from the outside in genuinely don’t care about who’s a camper. >

I've only heard tryhard used that way a few times. The vast majority of the time, it's used to mean people who gatekeep by putting down players who don't take the game as seriously.
Example: I play War Thunder, which has two modes: arcade and realistic. Players on the sub will make fun of anyone posting video of arcade. They are tryhards who think the game must be frustrating and difficult to be worthwhile. The enemy team who took all 3 points and then stormed our spawn were just good, lucky, or well coordinated.
Most people know the difference, so this isn't really unpopular. You just want the term used correctly. Or you want people who lose to not be upset. But imo, being so emotionally invested in a game makes a person a tryhard. >

Yeah, like I said in the post. I know what it actually means, it's just misused way to often. >

The only people I’ve ever heard use the phrase is teenagers thinking other people care about a game as much as they do. >

I never understood people getting pissed while playing videogames.  They're supposed to be fun so why willingly subject yourself to something that would get you so worked up? >

As I see it, in the video game space at least. A try hard (also known as sweats) in a competitive video game usually refers to someone who has borderline mastered the game. You often see this get passed around as an insult when a top level player is matched up with players of lower skill or if the game has both competitive and unranked mods one who plays unranked often. However due to the nature of the culture surrounding competitive games, FPSs in particular, it is often said by the losing team if they get thrashed hard.
