Team Based Shooter Problems
Team based shooters is a good way to work together but I have an issue with them. Yes, I enjoy them but when you are place with randos that don’t know what they’re doing. There are games like Marvel Rivals, Apex Legends and Overwatch 2 that requires players to work together. But sometimes players don’t want to do that and get mad with things don’t go their way. Don’t get me started on League of Legends due to toxic behavior in gameplay. I been playing team-based shooters since 2012 or later than that. My first team-based shooter was Team Fortress 2, when I stream it on Twitch. It has some toxic players like voting people off for no reason at all. I had a incident based on that but will not talk about it. Always, I hate the fact that players complain about anything. Normally, personally I mute voice chat or report these toxic players.
For example, when someone plays healer and get mad went, they don’t help you. Telling you to delete the game because their performance. I would say that’s a petty statement in my opinion. Another one is telling you to pick certain character and expect to win the match. I would say that “let people pick who they want to choose”. First of all, you are not no expert at team-based shooters so keep your mouth shut. I hate went others dictate the game thinking they are pro players but really not. When I was playing Marvel Rivals, I hate went they say, “you got 3 DSP classes on the team”, My response is that “why don’t you pick him then” meaning that player pick a different class. I am telling that some individuals don’t have no respect for other players. During Overwatch, when team started to lose that one person says, “group up with me” thinking they’re the leader.
How Can We Solve Team Based Shooters?
When its defeat, that player will berate other players for their awful performance, but it doesn’t help them improve. Let them go to Dexter’s Lab to train and become better. In my opinion, I would ignore those toxic players and have fun. Some individuals would ruin the fun of others, that trying to enjoy the game. You have to learn to co-op with one another instead of going off your own. There are other video game genres that allow cooperation like fighters like Multiversus. Adventure game like It Takes Two and beat’em ups like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Revenge of the Shredder. Those games there are two toxic players unlike shooter games. Another way to solve these issues is playing with friends but I don’t have any. Some might have streamer and content creator friends who play same game as you.
I don’t think you can’t change on how other behave in video games. But I would turn off voice chat, so you don’t have to listen to annoying banter. Don’t look at the chat, ignore it completely because it might offend your mental health. If player is very hostile towards you, hit that report button. I am not expert on these issues, but I see them. If someone is not performing badly in a match, that let that person drag the team down. Make sure to help them as best of your abilities. As Galacta always say “well you can’t expect to win them all”. That’s very true because you can’t always have a winning streak but win some and lose some. That’s how shooter work and life in general. If you know how to play the hero or champion based on their skillsets. Don’t be a jerk about players not doing their job at the online multiplayer match.
Closing
Team-based shooters can be enjoyable with others but not everyone will be on the same page. There are more games I should mention like Dead by Daylight, Overcooked and so many more co-op. Problematic players will be in every game but its up to you that let that stop you for playing. Keep getting MVP or SVP and Play of the game, also feel accomplished during online multiplayer match. There is so many multiplyer shooting games on PC, PS5 and Xbox. There are different types out there like fps, class and squad. You can watch esports player be good at the game. Let’s just say I am not trying to be professional player but play for fun. I would say there is some top team shooter games out there.
Will you play one more round or delete the game? Sometimes you have to be tactical as well during match. Learn to get along with other but if you can’t turn the game off please. Your choice in the matter, we can all get along as a gaming community. I am passionate about video games and love to share it with others. What are your thoughts on team-based shooter?
