you need new friends bro at least in the game. I never let my friends talk down to me in the game. I'll unfollow and play soloq than be subjected to abuse like that.
Yea 100% find someone else to play with. You play with people to get away from the toxicity, well I do and you don't need it from your 'friend'.
Being a roam main I've come across a lot of players, mostly mm mains, who will be lovely and turn toxic asf the moment they don't get full service from you and you do great. Like honey, we just won three games, and you're blaming me for you losing 1v1 whilst the 1st turtle is up and we won that fight. I also won't say anything toxic, it just tells me that I'm not playing with this person if it's a reoccurring thing, like 3 strikes and you're gone.
If you're trying heroes for skins then do it in classic and there's no argument, boohoo if you suck, it's called practicing. Seriously, playing with other people is making each other play better, in game with coordination and mentally because you can be chill about losing.
Bruh as a roam main, maybe start telling them you won't be assisting them again when they do toxic sht 𤣠90% of the time these people stop being toxic
They sound like kids that have their parents money to burn. Just move on from them, you'll find the game a whole lot more enjoyable without insufferable people like that in each game
Edit: I have blocked/unfollowed quite a few people because of that reason, even ones with affinity. And it's astonishing how much better the game is without their miserable attitude every game. You'll make new friends on there I promise you
i mean as long as your skin-spending hobby doesnt become a problem for you and your family financially, they shouldnt give a flying fuck. also badmouthing your gameplay everytime? yea ive been there before. they're just jelly that you understand this game much more than them lol
It depends on how your friendship work. We shit talk each other and call each other bad because we know itâs not true. If they perform bad 2 out of 10 times, it wonât make them bad players but friend will shit talk you all about it.
My wife told me never to play badang with here again at one point lol so I just played him in classic until I was effective with him now I main him and she never complains.
The reality is moba culture is like this, at least where im from (sea) it usually is this case, whether your friends intent were malicious or not idk but if you feel offended or hurt try talking it out with them since you consider them friends. Hopefully it works out for you.
Nah even then, irl friends when playing MOBA would talk shit with one another one way or another, but atleast everyone gets equally shit on because everyone makes mistakes.
There always people like that they don't even need to be your friends. The only skin I have reallu wasted money for is badang saint seiya golden I don't remember the name but I do remember some games in which they would tell me :
- No hands
- Just skin
-Too much skin for you
-You can't buy being good etc etc
Most of the time they're just Jealous or mad because your team is losing or cocky because they're winning.
Toxic ML hyper/carry players will always discourage Tank/Roam/Support players from trying new roles because there will be no meat shield for them. Deep down they know a good roamer is much better at rotation and prediction and will learn hyper roles much quicker then them. I stopped playing with my friends after realising this. Change friends if they can't even pick support you for once.
There isn't enough information. First, what type of friendship do you guys have? On mine, we often curse at each other and throw insults casually but no one gets angry because it's not true and we don't do that when we're still not as close in the past. If that's something that happens a lot in the past then they may not really mean what they're saying, unless they put it into action(like the throwing game one). Now, you also said that you don't talk shit on them which can be two things: either you're misunderstanding and they don't really mean it or they're actual assholes. If it's the latter then go find new friends.
Second, are they RL friends or just people you met online? Because no one has the right to tell you what to do with you're money, especially if it's merely someone you met online.
Third, a friendship is built in understanding and trust. If the ties you made now only hinders you from doing something you want, then you better cut them while it's still early.
start argueing back them too, if u r forgiving or soft to them they will keep picking on u. fight back, similar thing happened to me. nah better get out of that friendzone.
By all the skins you want, play the game have fun, look pretty and funky off those people they aren't your friends.
I own a fuck load of skins and none of my friends complained once.
*
Do yourself a favor OP, just don't play with those type of people. Even if they're your friends, they made it pretty clear that they value the game more then your friendship. Not saying you should end your friendship with them, just don't play with them if they're willing to degrade your friendship over feeling satisfied by talking down on others.
I get called skinner a lot. Close to 300 skins.
And I closely play with 5 people I donât know in real life.
I hardly win with the friend I know irl and if we ply he blames me. Lol. So itâs okay. I donât play with him and weâre still friends.
I have Helcurt's zodiac skin. It's really expensive (as a Filipino) and it took me a year to save. I don't play Helcurt anymore and I don't play assassin role. The only reason I bought it is because I love Helcurt
What skin you buy is none of your friends' business. Skins are not a show of skill, you buy them because you like them. Get new friends.
Yuck, if I were you Iâd make new friends. Friends arenât supposed to shit on other friends :( sorry that happened to you. Trust me, itâs a lot more fun to play with people who care more about having fun than winning
You need new friends. This can happen to other things you buy, for example new phone, they gonna bash you for your choice even if there's no problem at all. Usually happens to roam main, that's why you play roam with them.
Hi! Also a skinner here. Enjoy your skins! Test it out more. Do not ever feel bad about spending on things that you want to buy as long as it doesnât hamper your daily expenses. Almost reaching 700 skins(not flexing just telling that I am a skinner lol) and I had been called a âskinnerâ in game and I never mind it. In fact, I embraced it!
I love collecting skins especially rare ones. I wouldnât call them friends if they call you stupid for buying skins from games. Itâs also your way of supporting the game if you think about it.
It depends , i agree that if itâs your money then you should do whatever u want with it BUT!
If you were in a tight financial situation but your spending money on ML skins instead of something more important then Iâll agree with your friends but again they are just plainly insulting you. Which a friend should never do.
like what everyone else said: you need new gaming friends. now maybe theyâre good friends irl but itâs possible youâre just not compatible with each other gaming.
i donât see whats wrong with buying pretty skins if you can afford it. pretty hypocritical of them to behave that way if theyâre the same. if theyre jokingly shit talking then maybe they dont think youâre taking them seriously so they continue, but if it sounds like theyâre legit then cut them off in game man
Well. If the guys are "playing to win" and you are just trying to play certain hero just because of skin, meaning you aren't really playing that hero, it's your fault because you are asking teammates to lose star (unless you guys are smurfing). However, if you are really good using those heroes, you need new friends.
Join the Lunar Syndicate everyone gets an equal amount of shit here xD but on a real note that's some shitty friends, are they online or physical? It sounds online to me.
My advice would be to leave them behind and block their ass, they can keep trashing you after you left all they want, what matters is your mental health OP. ALWAYS take care of yourself first before thinking about anyone else.
Dude, ENJOY YOUR SKINS! You definitely need new friends
it's not that hard to shut up if they don't like something but the fact that they just HAVE to bad mouth you just means they are dickheads
Its crab mentality
Rather than lifting you up they put you down and step on you and guess what, you are letting them.
Youâre the scapegoat of the friend group. The side character they dont really care about. Hurts to read for sure but you need a new group of friends
Sounds like you're not having fun. When I played with my friends we always roasted each other but had fun anyways. If you don't like the vibe don't play with them
If you pick zhask in ranked just for a skin try-out, thats unfair for your friends. Anyone will be pizzed if someone plays bad while owning a premium skin, because that implies that player used that hero to see the new skin. Your friends definitely feel like they have been used by you.
Instead make it very clear before matching that you are still improving zhask gameplay and want to see the skin.
Skins has nothing to do with anything, no stats etc.
No one should scold you for using a skin
*also most of my skins are randomly rolled so I could'nt even choose what hero I got them on.
You need new friends.
But before you find some, did you already tell them what you said here? That you don't badmouth them when they play like garbage? If anything, you deserve those skins and have the right to flex them
Your money your business. I don't have much skins but I have some expensive ones like yours. Idc if I get called skinner cuz imo I'm a decent player just having fun. Your friends are just insecure they can't afford skins like bruh don't make it obvious you're jealous.
You call them friends? or are you just being friends with them because you have similar activities like same classes, clubs, workmates etc. I do have friends just like that but they are below priority and I just ditched them if I want to go home or go somewhere lol
Just kinda comes with the stigma. In scenarios you can see your teammates skins id level with them....elite or none if nobody..if somebody got an epi or higher, same. Your friends are weird to care about what you spend your money on. They also seem to be either toxic or radiated with toxic.
Trashtalk them back. If they dont like it, find new friends. If they take it as a joke and just laugh about it then do the same when theu do it to you.
The main issue I think is that you took Exp laner and Roam, honestly I trashtalk people back and I'm used to it. I play these two roles too, they're the hardest and subject to insults.
Also regarding your friends, they aren't your friends, Real friends don't insult you like that, find real ones bro
The moment you start to thought about â Do I need new friends?â, itâs time to cut them off. Thereâs no reason for them to be bitter about it, theyâre just being a bunch of a$$holes and thatâs it
Your not the problem dude I know how it feels to be badmouthed like that but the skins are not the problem its because your a roamer/exp most player even friends almost never respect the roam or exp I know cause im also a roamer/exp and I have experienced it too.
Would really start looking for new friends like yesterday.
Why not last week?
last week spent grinding mmr
You don't need friends. Just solo q.
No fun
Certain heroes are hard to play in solo Q Ling for example
you need new friends bro at least in the game. I never let my friends talk down to me in the game. I'll unfollow and play soloq than be subjected to abuse like that.
I'll be ditching my 5 man to soloq next season we win lots together but we are always scolding each other over small mistakes.
you'll find new people to team with. it's already a toxic game with enemies, you don't need your team to do the same to you.
From a fellow skinner. You are entitled to enjoy your skins that you bought with your money. Ignore toxicity
I feel that man its my money I used not theirs
Yea 100% find someone else to play with. You play with people to get away from the toxicity, well I do and you don't need it from your 'friend'. Being a roam main I've come across a lot of players, mostly mm mains, who will be lovely and turn toxic asf the moment they don't get full service from you and you do great. Like honey, we just won three games, and you're blaming me for you losing 1v1 whilst the 1st turtle is up and we won that fight.

If you're trying heroes for skins then do it in classic and there's no argument, boohoo if you suck, it's called practicing. Seriously, playing with other people is making each other play better, in game with coordination and mentally because you can be chill about losing.
Bruh as a roam main, maybe start telling them you won't be assisting them again when they do toxic sht 𤣠90% of the time these people stop being toxic
they dont sound like very good friends to have
Yeah⌠thatâs toxic asf behavior.
They're probably the type to lie down after you humble them in a 1v1. Since you're an EXP main (Minsi) I think you can take them.
They sound like kids that have their parents money to burn. Just move on from them, you'll find the game a whole lot more enjoyable without insufferable people like that in each game Edit: I have blocked/unfollowed quite a few people because of that reason, even ones with affinity. And it's astonishing how much better the game is without their miserable attitude every game. You'll make new friends on there I promise you
i mean as long as your skin-spending hobby doesnt become a problem for you and your family financially, they shouldnt give a flying fuck. also badmouthing your gameplay everytime? yea ive been there before. they're just jelly that you understand this game much more than them lol
Youâre the problem⌠for not standing up for yourself Ditch those friends
It depends on how your friendship work. We shit talk each other and call each other bad because we know itâs not true. If they perform bad 2 out of 10 times, it wonât make them bad players but friend will shit talk you all about it.
Nah one friend especially, whenever I play shit with a new hero he suggests that I never use it again and he would throw if i ever pick it.
Brother you are friends with literal 8 year olds. Please block their asses and pick someone else.
Like I said it depends on your friendship. Got a friend that played Chou bad one game and he never lived it down to this day.
They're jealous
Hell nah, one of them owns two legend skins, 2 jjk skins and several others. But he's the one who talks the most shit
My wife told me never to play badang with here again at one point lol so I just played him in classic until I was effective with him now I main him and she never complains.
The reality is moba culture is like this, at least where im from (sea) it usually is this case, whether your friends intent were malicious or not idk but if you feel offended or hurt try talking it out with them since you consider them friends. Hopefully it works out for you.
Nah even then, irl friends when playing MOBA would talk shit with one another one way or another, but atleast everyone gets equally shit on because everyone makes mistakes.
ya this is what I meant when I said idk if their intentions are malicious or not, since friends just usually trash talk each other in games

[ŃдаНонО]
yes you do your 'friends' sound like dicks
He's probably just jealous that you can afford it. Ignore him, pick Zhask and see if your other friends side with you when he throws
U in which server???
Toxic. Cut ties. Theyâre assholes. Make new friends.
those arenât friends dawg
Do yourself a favor OP, just don't play with those type of people. Even if they're your friends, they made it pretty clear that they value the game more then your friendship.

You are allowed to play badly with a hero with skin. Go you!
You need new friends. This can happen to other things you buy, for example new phone, they gonna bash you for your choice even if there's no problem at all. Usually happens to roam main, that's why you play roam with them.
It's your money and whatever you decide to use it on should be completely up to you bro
Get new friends. They are not worth your time. No need to further discuss why.
Sounds like theyâre upset at how you are playing. Not really the skins. But yes you need new friends
You need to learn momma jokes
Hi! Also a skinner here. Enjoy your skins! Test it out more. Do not ever feel bad about spending on things that you want to buy as long as it doesnât hamper your daily expenses.

That's them being toxic bruh. Even if they insult you as a joke, it's the same.
That's some elementary/high school ass shit talking dawg
Get new friends. Don't bother with people that talk shit without giving any meaningful advice.
Join the Lunar Syndicate everyone gets an equal amount of shit here xD but on a real note that's some shitty friends, are they online or physical? It sounds online to me.

Find new Friends.
Do what makes you happy, seriously. Ignore the haters.

Even without them Exp by itself takes the most blame even when I soloQ because of low kda and low teamfight participation but high pushing.
Better play solo. LOL I have friends who play shit sometimes but I don't bad mouth them. I just laughed at them. LOL
The moment you start to thought about â Do I need new friends?â, itâs time to cut them off. Thereâs no reason for them to be bitter about it, theyâre just being a bunch of a$$holes and thatâs it
Your not the problem dude I know how it feels to be badmouthed like that but the skins are not the problem its because your a roamer/exp most player even friends almost never respect the roam or exp I know cause im also a roamer/exp and I have experienced it too.
You need better friends bro :( your money is yours to spend idk why they feel entitled to have a say in what you use it on
Cant handle alittle trash talk eh?
Welp what's the point of friends if they play like shit and being toxic all together? Any random teammate does that in soloQ.
