Still loving the game

sorry about the long read ahead

I played a ranked match the other night and we started to lose mid game, they were snowballing and it was not looking good for us.

That’s when our viper plugged in their mic and started raging, but it didn’t make me angry it made me sad. He tilted out and started dying alone in weird spots in the map, that’s when he says he’s muting everyone and going afk.

But he forgot to mute himself I think because he just kept mumbling into the mic, like weird low voice mumbling the kind you see in a movie when some character is losing their mind. He was mumbling shit like “you’re all worthless and no one cares about you” This went on for the rest of the game.

That’s when I started to realize: this guy isn’t playing the game to have fun, he’s escaping from his own shitty reality. It wasn’t about the competition or wild gameplay he was clearly going through some shit and using the game as an outlet.

You’re supposed to do that in street brawl not ranked
