streamers are conceited, for the most part.
the constant ****-sucking of other streamers/youtubers (clout chasers).
the phony 'hey man thanks for the follow, you de real hero!"
complaining when they lose (OhChev was nearly crying last week)
NOW, there are some decent streamers but I find most of them just generally look down upon their opponents (if they don't know them)
they also all stream the same type of content.
zone button hitting shippet park with some variance of a team build on DD or their BR runs.
I know right and if you notice they all use the same distorted face on you tube like they all learned same editing trick. (which btw looks absolutely tacky)

Just look at the people that stream. Koogs, shelfy, that moron with the huge nose, mcgunski.... pretty much any of the clowns that are partners, or were anyways. These guys have a stream full of people that bash and trash anyone and anything at all whenever they can and the streamers are just giant, self absorbed douche bags. I only watch one or two here and there because they are helpful and generally decent guys to talk with when they are playing but most are just so pathetic.
Does not shock me in any way that this Streamer would ask for a friendly to get out of getting mercied so he could play someone that was easier to play against. Save yourself the hassle and just avoid most of these idiots. Guys like him give online gaming such a horrible rep
The OP was the one that wanted a friendly quit..

Read the whole post!! He said he thought about it when he found out he was playing live and decided not to, but prior to him streamer friendly quit someone who was better than him.
Yeah this is correct...I never asked for the friendly even though I thought about it (only bc it was live, not bc it would be hard), but it was when I watched the recording of the stream back that I found out that A) he asked for a friendly on a hard match-up and got it before matching with me, and then B) saw my W-L and announced to his followers that there was no way he would accept a friendly req from me if I asked.

Don’t let that stuff bother you man. Just like he beat you. There is someone out there that will beat him. There is always someone better.
Do you have fun playing the game? At the end of the day. It’s a game dude we aren’t major leaguers we are playing a video game...and as competitive as we can get bad sportmanship on his part is not impressive to some of us.
Also don’t let his antics make you think that all streamers are like that. There are some really cool guys that break down at bats like CBrev that can help anyone get better with his pitch analysis and tendencies.

I do have lots of fun and haven't stopped going online, I mean I really do have some goals I've been chasing so I want to continue to try to meet those. If I'd been matched up against CBrev I think I would have been quite happy about it because I've watched quite a few of his vids so I would have felt a bit more comfortable with what was going to happen. I'd never heard of the streamer who matched up with me which is why I got nervous about playing live.
On reflection I don't think he said anything too terrible directly (it was one of his viewers who said the(wrote) most directly insulting thing) but finding out about the FQ 'manipulation' did leave a bad taste. Oh well, I mean, I could have just quit directly if I'd wanted out of there badly enough. In the end I knew it was live-streamed and kept playing.
Someone DM'd me and asked for the link and I did provide it, so if anyone does want to see as corroboration of what I've written, I'm happy to provide the link (it's openly published anyway). I just don't want to put the streamer's name directly in this thread.

And apologies to those who've taken the time to give great advice here; I haven't replied to everyone but appreciate all the replies! I'm pretty chuffed to read so much support for what happened.

Aye, I hate to see this. It's a video game friend, don't let it be so serious that it hurts your mental health!
No one knows who you are, no need to take any of this personally. If it truly causes you this much emotional stress, I'd take a break, or find a different game/way to play.

@cbpm72_PSN Some advice for online if you don’t have a monitor and play on a tv the input lag is a killer and you won’t realize how bad it is until you play one AB on a monitor. Total game changer for getting good timing on swings. With the input lag you basically have to swing earlier than you want to square it up. Control freaks also help especially with the high inside fastballs or anyone with an outlier fastball.

Ah no, I'm not affected to that degree of negativity. I just thought it might be nice to share what happened. Some of it sucked but I'm not affected negatively in terms of my mental health or anything like that. I'm glad I know what happened as opposed to being clueless of the events.

Thank you, I've been hearing a lot about playing on a monitor, as well as using the control freaks. I've actually also noticed a huge benefit to switching back to zone hitting after using directional for a couple of months (as I was during this match) in that the PCI helps with tunnelling pitches and that's been huge for my timing getting better already, even after only a couple of days. I'm going to try to get a monitor as soon as I can.

You shouldn’t let it effect in you in anyway. Most these dudes wouldn’t talk like they do face to face. If you look at them, 90% of them are severely out of shape and would be pummeled by any athlete. This is their only release. People forget they are talking to a real personal online.

Really toxic experience, sorry you went through that. Don't give it any significance tho.

I always just ignore "streamers" when they have TTV in their names. I used to try to find them, and more often than not, they weren't actually streamers, just had the name.

A few months back I played jugsy seigel and he was streaming. I was beyond nervous plus it was my first HOF game in ranked that day. I follow him and he was nothing but courteous after I went into the stream after I win 3-2.

Yeah well, Jugsy is the man. He's an exceptional human, I wouldn't expect anything less from him. Glad you got to play him!

Honestly, I find the whole online experience to be loaded with toxic personalities. Sure not all, but most. If they aren't crying because of how you play, they are dogging you for not being on their level. I do my absolute best to make it difficult for anyone to communicate with me, but obviously people do find ways.
Been playing nba2k21 and the community is even worse. The internet in general is full of tough guys and trolls who just love to spew venom on people. It's sad, it's pathetic, but it's what I see everywhere.
It is honestly why I hate online play and wished I had opportunity to get everything offline that online players get.

Every single sports game that is played online is toxic. Some might be worse than others but they are all filled with people that can say anything because of the fact they don't have to be face to face. Makes for a boat load of tough guys that are pathetic and a complete joke
