  Yeah. Im a little bit older so it’s always shocking to see the younger generation take video games so fucking seriously. I’ve tried mocking those type of people with younger people but they’re taking it seriously too. I only play for fun so it’s weird for me. He should’ve just laughed at him and told him to kick a fucking soccer ball or turned it off and played another game right then and there because who the fuck cares??
context: I agree
  However, if you're intentionally messing up the team, or just trolling or whatever, then go play the unranked mode
  And likewise, if you take it super serious, dont play unranked, play comp >
  
  i remember back in Halo 3 there used to be a super fun multi-team "king of the hill" type game. it was four teams of 2 players each, and the goal was to spend the most time occupying the rotating "hill" zone.
  me and my friend were nearly unbeatable in this challenge. why? because we had zero regard for our self preservation. everyone else was so worried about their "K/D ratios" that they would stand outside the hill and snipe players, too afraid to get near the hill until it was absolutely clear.
  on the other hand, my friend and i would spawn, sprint as quickly as we could towards the combat, and try to do as much damage as we could before we died.
  in a way, our disregard for "proper strategy" and "ratios" made us the highest scorers in this particular challenge... i remember more than one time that the final point was scored by one of our lifeless bodies sliding across the goal line at the last second... >
  
  Even more of a hot take, making every game competitive is ruining games. I miss game design where they make multiple things equally broken
  Tac knife, akimbo models, noob tubes from MW2 was a blast. >
  
  I agree. Any developer that sacrifices stuff like that to please the “competitive community” (oxymoron?) is an L in my book >
  
  I totally agree ~ games are for having fun BUT it is hilarious to me that SBMM was made for people like you but then here we are. It’s almost as if the people who need SBMM don’t enjoy it so everyone is a loser. >
  
  There is a reason casual/unranked exists. >
  
  Take my upvote. Haven’t really played online multiplayer after 2-3khrs on Apex. Synthetik is a fun shooter that I’ve been enjoying lately. >
  
  This sub is supposed to be for unpopular opinions >
  
  And it’s ridiculous to put so much value on being good at them. Who cares?! It’s not real life. It’s supposed to be entertainment
