It's pretty much the other way around for me. If there is a huge disparity in skill, I'll just play as gay as humanely possible so they won't want to play me again.

I was crapping on someone in mge it and I removed because I wanted to find someone of similar skill to warm up... a few seconds later he said "nice counterjumping bro" in chat.

??????????????

What I've found works the best for me is completely ignoring anything they say, and not paying attention at all to any "gay" strats or otherwise.

All I give a shit about is hitting my shots. If I'm hitting all my shots, and I'm losing because he's pulling off some stupid strat, or if I'm hitting all my shots but he is too and he's beating me and talking shit, I really don't care.

Cause I'm still hitting my shots and improving.

i shit talk but only people that play really fucking lame and have high elo because of it

i think when i first started mgeing some douchebags in some reddit server told me i was trash and stuff and made me seriously upset because i was not used to being shittalked and everything (was new to comp tf2) so eventually after improving for a couple months i could at least compete with those idiots but I got so choked up because of the fear that i'd lose to them again so it really got to me mentally sort of like fighting a bully that's weaker than you or something but get u mentally. u just need to ignore it or accept it. Honestly it makes you a stronger human if you can get over that kind of stuff. makes u mentally tougher. It shows ur more tough if you get past those morons and still become decent.

i get really pissed off at mge sometimes but it's whatever. if people try to be abrasive i just shrug it off because giving their shitty alias-ego even a second of thought is way more gratification than it deserves. ideally everyone is there to get better at hitting shots. if the goal is winning, then there is a way to "out-gay" your opponent on pretty much any arena, so why bother even focusing on that (unless you wanna piss someone off)?

Seriously though, you are never gonna find people who play mge the way you think it should be played, or you will never play it the way people you're playing against will find acceptable.

I shittalk that one epik trol that goes cloak and dagger spy in reddit MGE.

Otherwise, I'm too smelly and ugly to really shittalk people.

this is one of the reasons why i prefer dm over mge..

mge frustrates me. and when i get frustrated, i get shat on. and when i get shat on while i'm frustrated, i look for reasons as to why i'm getting shat on. when i'm looking for reasons why i'm getting shat on, i hit `. when i hit `, i type say "stop surfing my rockets, baddy."

this is just my mindset. Not saying it's right, i'm just providing an insight on the inner workings of an asshole on mge.

Sometimes people just leave the arena midway throughout the fight. Like earlier today, I was playing 1v1 sniper. I killed him 3 times to get to 3-0 and then he just left and joined another arena to play spy. This happened to me quite a few times already. Is there a reason for it?

Just join a russian mge server for a few hours, then go back to your old mge and you feel much better :)

because you are playing an mge server that allows spy

Why would you be upset when someone surfs your rockets? Its one of the most useful skills in the game

OH YOU DID NOT JUST GO THERE

i actually haven't seen any shit talk in both mge servers in awhile
even from the alts

weird shit man

The only time i got shit talked on mge was when i played some random dude on spire... He was way above my skill level at the time and destroyed me like 20-2. He went on to saying something along the lines of "man you fucking suck". I simply replied "yeah, that's why I'm in MGE, dumbass" he shut up :)

ya u got him bro nice 1

"I beat the pocket of the last team I tried out for 20-0 in MGE when I was about 12 shots drunk."

RIP TF2_Moose

"20-0 in mge?????"

if you're like me and you play alot of tf2 to get better and some new-fag mge prodigy joins your map and beats you 20-8 with 100% shotgun/airshot accuracy without a damn clue how to rocket jump I personally give you permission to be mad.

"some rando guy"

I personally give you permission to be mad

personally

I feel like alot of people alt in mge nowadays too ever since that thread lol

I almost feel like mge should be done like the starcraft ladder. You queue up and pick your map pool, then it matches you to players with similar rankings, or as close as possible. IDK could work.

not enough people play

mge owns.
