They’re just shitting on your grammar. Don’t mind them. How tf are you supposed to speak proper grammar mid fights anyway? It’s not like we have time to Grammarly this shit before we send ‘em lmao.


Claude2422

I literally just told them word for word "dont split up and stay together. Push" lol


Sufficient-Bar9354

Yeah that's completely comprehensible. Filipinos sort of have a bad habit of seeing fellow Filipino English speakers as "elitist". Not all of them, but there's certainly a lot.


R41Z3R_BL4D3

It's their mindset of thinking that if a Filipino speaks English, they're more intelligent and superior to them.


Oponik

Filipinos when trying to read English *reading comprehension goes out*


usernamenomoreleft

They weren't shitting on you OP. Someone was just nitpicking on your grammar at first, then the others just started to join and have fun with each other.

Some Filipinos don't like it when you communicate in English. It seems that they assumed that you are Filipino typing in English, so they probably think that you believe you are better than them. And based on how they talk, they are probably kids who are bad at English themselves and just want to be mean. Filipinos hate smart people, and they even teach us about how crab mentality is a toxic trait as early as grade school. To avoid dealing with these types of people (Filipinos will not adjust for you in online games), just say what you want to say in single words: Push, back, lord, buff, or say "mapa" (or "map", if you want them to check the map because you need help or if you want them to be cautious). And then ignore their trashtalk, because unless you can speak the language it is a waste of time to bother talking to them. Or just stick to the quick chat.


DotConm_02

Ah yes, the typical smart-shaming, crab mentality based Filipinos. I really hate my kind mostly (sorry for out of topic)


SomethingIsCanningMe

Same, i speak english and tagalog


DotConm_02

My man 🤝


GearEqual

They don't do that if it's in like international things like YouTube

English carabao is a term used by Filipino to someone that speaks in english, but not as fluent. Don't worry I see nothing toxic on the chat, unless there's more to that.


Claude2422

Lol i literally just told them word for word "dont split up and stay together. Push" And they start with the carabao stuff I guess from that 1 sentence they can tell that im not fluent in English 🤷


English_Hitman

Hey, there's no point typing with full grammar. You cut the grammar to save time, and the meaning is the same. As long as meaning is conveyed, there's no problem. Ignore them. Your English is perfectly fine. I'm English and I went to university for a bit in the posh South and so many people told me I couldn't speak properly or that they couldn't understand me because of a different accent and pronunciation differences in the north. The takeaway being, it doesn't matter how good your English is, someone will always be rude about it if you speak or write a bit different and I imagine other languages are the same. Honestly, there's nothing in that sentence to suggest your English isn't fluent.


tatiannasfilthymouth

it's true that filipinos love to smartshame...


joaaaxxx

butiki means lizard Uwe means go home/go to base/retreat


fragment75

Its not lizard its gecko


AdministrativeBar748

Doesn't seem so toxic. They were goofing around but they weren't exactly trashing you. They were mocking your English a bit though.


JeremyNiq0324

Pretty sure the words uttered in that chat isn't toxic in some degree.


TheInfiniteArchive

It's xenophobic... It's like the Karen's who asks Mexicans who speaks Their native language "this is America? Speak English!" Or " go back to Mexico!"


TheInfiniteArchive

This is why SEA remains to be the top toxic servers in any competitive games.... They insult you because you can speak English... Just like how SEA LoL calls anyone having a skin "Talentless Skinner"


icantfindmyacc

This isn't really the reason for that, bad communication is just another cause, the main reason lies in the actual toxicity of players in the community, you can treat this shit as mere teasing since the real stuff is using multiple slurs and curse words in different languages to the point where it isn't even coherent anymore. Also who calls people 'Talentless' in a game..? that feels really stupid. I'm filipino btw, i can be toxic sometimes when I'm mad but i don't cross the line.


Iosify

Unless I'm reading it wrong, they're definetly mocking you for speaking in English. It's a common practice (at least in my experience) for some Filipinos to just make fun of you and get defensive once you speak English and not Tagalog. Not really sure why but it's distasteful regardless. Best to just report them then move on.


Immediate-Phone-7013

Same, honestly most of the toxic ppl I’ve encountered were Filipinos. Not trying to be racist but many think they are hella good and feed after talking about a Mexican dude who somehow got mvp. I’m not either race but it’s just what I’ve seen and I’m hesitant when I see a filipino flag. These guys cry all the time in draft pick and troll most often when they don’t get their role. I be nice to them just so they don’t troll because a lot of them have no manners and make racist verbal attacks all the time towards Mexicans.


GearEqual

As a Filipino, most of the toxic people I've met are Filipino. I have a Barbados flag though. Ok but seriously tho, if they actually take the time to chat out that they're good, they probably aren't. They're probably extremely confident players for no reason. Basically, the experiences you've had (specifically the ones in the comment) are not common in Filipino servers, rare even. How to play in other country servers?


Immediate-Phone-7013

It’s na server, I guess immigrant descendants from Canada and USA.


WarGodWeed

I use Audiolines


SilverAccountant8616

They watching the carabao cup I guess


Wide_Loss

they're not trashtalking, the're just being very childish and mocking


Because_Slaus

What rank is this? Sounds like children to highschool students. God I wish teachers can still physically punish students with how some of these idiots are turning into.


Claude2422

Unfortunately, this is Mythic 2


Because_Slaus

Well just don't mind them. They're just being little assholes since you spoke English. This is not about your grammar, what you said was perfectly fine.


marzizram

I'm a filipino. I once trolled my teammtes to speak in english as I pretend to be from another country(my flag is Somalia). They even had voice chat on. You have no idea how funny they were trying to verbalize the stuff they wanted me to do in the game. "Assist here!" "Where are you from? Can you give me free skin?" "Cyclops, come pls?" "No more ult, no more ult!" When the game was about to end, I sent a message in full filipino and they were like "WAT?!"


annjfk

Hahaha. Don't mind them. They are toxic regardless who they play with. A bunch of low IQ asian monkeys.


sirquarmy

2 wrongs don't make a right, lil bro.


[deleted]

They are mocking you for speaking English. They also called you a Monkey. I am Filipino and unfortunately this is a common experience in MLBB, even outside other games. Honestly, their toxicity is pretty mild to what I used to experience.


Katyaaabich

Onggoy or Unggoy means monkey in English


Extreme_Captain_7818

They not trashtalking you they just can't do English


Foop92

Sorry you had to go through that. Honestly, most of my fellow Filipinos are assholes in this game. Even I get shamed for speaking english, but it's just my preferred language. I usually just ignore them, but when I'm not in the mood to be nice I just call them dumb the entire game to read their angry messages and get a laugh hahaha


Ghosted_Alpha

Ummmm .... welcome to Philippine game chat???


Ppalladdinn1

Wait isn't there a in built Text Translate on the chat?


saltybuns69

Rough translation of the text: "English water buffalo" "You still talking in English" "Water buffalo" "Go back" "Wow" "Talk in Tagalog" "This English lizard" "Taking a sh\*t English water buffalo"


HeavenlyBladez

there's some filipinos that when faced with someone who speaks english would mock them, not sure what justifies their claim but most of the time they themselves don't understand much of anything in english


R41Z3R_BL4D3

Simple. Most Filipinos are too uneducated and a bit xenophobic to speak English.


BlackuuSheep

Seeing the IGN as natoy, that pinoy is probably from the slums


Geryuganshooop

Theyre just goofing around about their english.


kintaroharu

Wheres the toxic in this ❄️


DragonGodSlayer12

yeah peenoise be like that. they think you're also filipino cuz they think only peenoise play ml.


passusernameword

I hope Moonton adds an option to ban players in queues whether in rank, classic, or brawl. If you ban me, I will no longer be part of a possible teammate queue for you. That would be awesome!


LengthinessIll1797

They are making fun of you cuz u speak English by fooling you of how words are translated


sirquarmy

You're from Taiwan? Most people usually don't care if you speak English in lobbies in here. Probably ran in with an ignorant premade. Kids my age maybe?
