As for me, I've alternated. I started out just a normal guy who tried hard, to a tryhard, to a troll, and now id like to think of myself as just a try hard. I'm not a dick to win a match, at least I don't try to be. If I run back and bow it's just my play style.Posted on 02 February 2016 - 01:44 PM

When I first came to badlion, I was one of the most toxic players around. The staff that's been here longer than I've been mod knows what I'm talking about.
Every time I would play, I would try really hard. There's nothing wrong with trying, and you should try. It makes the game fun. However I got out of hand. I would get extremely salty every match I would lose. I would always find a reason to trash talk the opponent who just kicked my ass. I always would get really angry and just keep queueing up again and again and losing match after match, getting saltier every time. Then the one day, It all changed when the fire nation attacked. No, but one day it kinda just changed.
I was losing like every match that day, all day, I was home alone because it was during a snow day I was on from about 8AM playing till 10 am. I couldn't win a match, I was trash talking people left and right, and then I kinda just snapped. I got really angry so I got up off my game and literally just sat in my bed for 2 hours staring at the ceiling. During this time, I kinda put this into perspective: "Do I really care this much about a game that I rage every time I lose?" "Why am I getting so angry?" and then I realized that it was just a game. I realized that if I'm truly deserving of that elo that I lost, I'll get it back. Maybe in one game, maybe in two, maybe in 16, it doesn't matter, but if I truly am at that elo, I'll win it back, just in time. Just after this, I began helping out on the forums. To put into perspective as to how toxic I was, look at this quote from HattoWolf:

And you see here I am today, as a senior mod on the badlion network, this would not have been achievable if I wouldn't have realized that elo is just a number, and I can get it back, and changed from being the very large toxin I once was.
Why am I telling you this? Because 1. I don't have anything to do at this moment, and 2. Because I hope someone someone who reads this that is currently a very toxic player changes
Dude! That was so inspirational! :')
P.S. I like the Avatar pun! :)

I agree, it's only a game, calm down guys! It is made to be fun, not to have the best Elo on the server. It's OK to try your hardest, but what isn't OK is raging, if you find yourself raging so hard just take a break, it's as simple as that.Posted on 02 February 2016 - 03:20 PM

Sometimes I wonder.Let me just say, I am a hugely competitive person die to playing lots of sports, tournaments and stuff.
I play for fun, and ELO, I enjoy the feeling of gaining Elo, although I don't take it to the point where I would tell someone "kys" in chat, that's not how much I care. Players that are tox1c, should seriously take a break for a while, it would be good for you.

I think elo is a pretty cool way of showing progress, you have to admit, we ALL tryhard for it a little every now and then ;)Last edited on 06 February 2016 - 11:46 PM by Jordners
