So...my question is, why be nasty? Why lash out at other players when you win or lose? (Either taunting or saying that they're hammer spammers or something.) It kinda...sucks? I haven't been on LD much lately, but I assume that none of those problems have been fixed. And...when was the last time anyone directly addressed them?
If I mention something like this to someone else, they usually are all like "Yeah, why?" or something like that, if not worse. I can't get into a whole discussion of reasons in the middle of a match because, well, the timer's ticking. And that's why I'm making a thread.
My main gripe about it is this: It scares off new players. "Those noobs should GTFO anyway!" No, they shouldn't. You were a noob at one point, too. A'top that, the LD community is DIEING. We need more players. I mean, seriously, we used to have more than 100 players at one time, and now whenever I look it's usually barely scraping enough players off the floor for a couple of matches.
We need to show them at least an honorable side of ourselves. Certainly, smack talk isn't a bad thing, but directing it at everyone probably isn't a good idea. Throwing insults every step of the way makes you look like a jerk...
Another thing...spawn camping. Why? I really don't get it. This is probably the most ridiculous thing ever. Really, it's like putting walls around players until they quit. It's stooping quite low on the level of just plain bullying. You stop others from coming out of their gates, but why? Are you THAT scared of them? Do you not want to risk them grabbing another point when you can just dash over to them and poke them until they bleed out? Are you really that scared of a bunch of people who you managed to spawn camp? If anything, it means you have to lay off. You're probably dealing with new players, and you're giving them a bad experience, something which means less LD players.
So, go ahead, flame away. Prove me right: LD is full of toxic players that are beyond repair.
I love playing LD its really fun, more fun than pve imo.
Playing LD with a group of friends or your clannies is the best thing.
double swinging a rager with GF is absolutely hilarious.
