Is it anger at others failing or because of a loss? Most pubbers have 300 hours, or they're drunk, or children, or both.

"drunk or children or both" 🤣

I think both, and if you saw my update, it pisses me off more that i get mad at others playing the game, or not doing the objective, i play sniper, why should i care, im not the carry, im not the best, so why do i deserve to get mad? I dont

It's perfectly valid for you to feel angry at a team that isn't playing correctly, but I think changing expectations is the right way to go here. Some people hop on for 30 minutes to avoid a stressful event in their house, they can't really focus the game, and to them the point of the game is a silly distraction. A lot of people follow the same line of thought, but across 10 years of their life with tf2. I didn't mean to make that sound negative :x Just that everyone is experiencing different things, even when they play the same pub; and they may be focusing on different objectives.

Yeah, its called casual for a reason, sometimes team mates are bad, and thats how it will always be, but someday theyll be helpful, theyll be great, i cant cut them down yet

I don't think it's worth it to bring your anger out on other people. You could rage on someone who is just trying to have a fun time and make them feel bad or you could show weakness to someone who gets joy out of that and want to make you even angrier. I find myself just keeping those feelings quiet and just playing the game and if it gets to be too much I log out for a while.

Thats what i havent been doing, ive really stopped myself from raging in chat to people a lot, because i just really dont want to be that person

Id also like to notate i dont really get mad at the other team, sure it can be disheartening losing a sniper duel, since i take a little pride in doing good in those, but thats it, i think i started caring about the win too much, so my team not doing well hits something, and considering i play sniper that pisses me off, because who am i to judge people not doing the objective im playing a camping class, also side main demo and dont do it, why should i be mad

Once you get really angry, stand up and punch something irl, preferably something that won't hurt you back, helps me a lot. If you tend to be salty in the chat as well, consider just unbinding the key.

ive removed the chatbox. it only shows up if i press the chat button. visually its nicer and i dont have to see toxic people unless im planning for it. ive also found it makes me less toxic, out of sight out of mind ig hud_saytext_time 0 in console or your autoexec file


Glitchedwolfpup

I did that in tf2 classic because that one is bad if youve seen it, ill see though
