i am a really nice guy irl, am kind to everyone, and people would say i have a gentle and tender demeanor. but god [censored] i really love kicking the [censored] out of scrubs in online rated on veteran difficulty.
is there something wrong with me? does anyone else feel like this? is there something wrong with US? why do i feel so conflicted on this?
You are a d bag troll, bragging about how you SmaSh NoObs. Do you also cheese? My guess is yes, and non stop, even if you don't need to.
Don't look for approval from me, because you aren't going to get any.

I have a question for you...
So, is this "love kicking the __ out of scrubs" only occurring in your dreams?
I have to ask this because your game history is showing something a little different!

So you like playing beneath your level and don't mind in the slightest that in doing so you are screwing up the fun your opponent was looking to have when they started up the game?
Seems kind of selfish and the definition of poor sportsmanship.
It's all fun and games until some World Series level player does the same thing to you.
this was the kind of reply i was looking for, thank you
i actually do mind, it's why i made this thread
and i am perfectly fine with someone of superior skill beating me

Again, looking at your game history, I definitely do not think you are "kicking the __ out of scrubs" when your game history shows your last ten games (as of 6/25/2023 3:16PM PDT):
- 6-11 L
- 10-9 W
- 3-2 W
- 9-8 L
- 3-1 W
- 6-2 L
- 3-2 L
- 2-0 W
- 5-3 W
- 9-8 W
You may have had a 6-4 record in your L10, but your biggest win was by two runs in three different games and the other three wins was by one run. Your losses was by five runs, four runs, and two games by one run. Your run differential is -2, as in NEGATIVE TWO. So how is that "kicking the __ out of scrubs"? Game histories don't lie nor exaggerate!

yes the whole point is that when i play on all star, as those games were played on, i don't play as well and thus have less fun
i'm looking to strike a good balance of competition, fun, and respect for my opponents

How can you say "respect for your opponents" right after you say "loving kicking the __ out of scrubs"? You contradict yourself this time...right after how I pointed out that your game history contradicts your initial statement!

@dap1234567890 and i was being tongue in cheek calling them scrubs...i don't actually think that and in retrospect it does come off as pretty douchey

i don't think it's unfair to say i love winning and i love winning big but i do understand why you'd think i don't respect my opponents given how i worded my first post

I also like winning, I also like winning big, I also like to hit 20+ HRs in every game...
...all of those I do pretty much every game...
...offline vs CPU of course.
You came in here sounding like you destroy your opponents like I destroy the CPU on Rookie!
There are a lot of people who come in here to brag about how great they are and embellish a lot of their accomplishments or how bad of an upset caused by some coding in the game (and not because of their mistakes in pitching, hitting, fielding, or game management). This happens quite frequently. Frequently enough where some on here will look at their game history and find that they are greatly exaggerating and some just flat out lie.
I want you to enjoy the game, because we are playing a video game which is supposed to be enjoyed. Play the game the way that makes it most fun for you.

It’s just a video game so who cares what you or anyone else likes to do.
All the top 10 players mostly play Rookie / Rookie.
I used to be Veteran / Veteran and played in some leagues that were Legend / HOF and I held my own but it felt more lucky to win than skilled.
I’m now ranked inside the top 40 after switching to Rookie/Rookie to compete with the top guys.
I play for the leaderboard more so than for my opponent.
My real hope is that one day they upgrade Online Rated and make it fair across the board by only allowing one level of play OR have multiple leaderboards per rank style.
The mismatching level stuff just gives people more options to feel comfortable playing but end up getting abused by cheesers so the only way to catch them is to play the lower levels yourself.
It’s a video game, it is what it is.

So in online rated you can play at a lower difficulty level than your opponent?? How does that work

️There are players that will purposefully tank their rating by quitting a bunch of games just so that they can go up against lesser opponents.

if you are looking for balance ,it looks like you found it at the All Star level if those games were on all star. Nothing about wanting to beat the tar out of your opponent every game screams balance and competition

i'm officially staying on all star now thanks to this thread

I wish there was a setting above Legend with slightly faster pitch speeds for me.
There is it’s called anything online where this guy who enjoys playing on Veteran would absolutely clap your cheeks together because even that’s faster than offline legend xoxo

Every gamer is like this now tbh. The fact that “skill based match making is killing videogames” sometimes starts trending is evidence enough.
There is a small select few who do choose to compete against the best and enjoy it, they just normally don’t pick a game with as much RNG and much higher prize pools. The amount of CPU missions this year totally turned me away from the game. I can crack the code against the CPU in any game relatively quickly. Playing against someone of my skill is what I find fun. That said in this game id also need to spend as much as said person with the same skill level so this truly isn’t the game for competition. Just hit some dingers and don’t take it to seriously. You’d have to change your name to the canuckler or some other cringy [censored] [censored]
