Something that bothers me...

[CommunistBus]

So I was browseing the gunbound rooms earlier, and I come across a 1v1 called "nub only" or something to that effect. I go in with my Silver B.Axe account and theres a wand sitting on team A with a boomer and only duals enabled, metamine. I was then kicked out. After that I was kicked out of three or four other 1v1 games where the opponent was a higher rank than me.

I'm not saying play against noobs is bad, cuz when no one's on to play with and I make a 1v1 game, 90% of the people who join are noobs. But come on, why kick everyone who poses even a slight threat? It's like someone going around and challenging babies to a spelling contest or something, and when a toddler comes along, they run.

Are they that worried that they might get a loss? I don't understand... If they do it for easy gold, they probably have to wait close to 10 minutes between each game waiting to find a noob who's willing to play a wand. That's about 400 Gold every 10 minutes. If they would just play they would get so much more it doesn't make sense....

Sigh, ok just had to get that out. It's been bothering me.

"kiasu" (noun) kee-ah-su : the fear of losing. slang.

often very illogical phobia, i might add. hence, the bothersome thing.

I would not worry about that.  Most of the people who do that are just those who want to win battle against noobs very easy.  If you want to play a real 1v1 game and you are a high rank.  All you have to do is to go onto the high rank server and make a 1v1 room there.

I play avatar off though so I prefer zone 12, and if necesary 11.

WOOOT,
The last time I went to avatar on, all a saw was stacking whores who probably used ebay to get those accounts, its just sad what people will do to get that extra feeling of superiority.  Props to all who play in avatar off.

My favorite settins are avatar off, random mobile, random map, all items on. That way, its about as fair as it's gonna get.

You migth say I have an advantage because there are the settings I'm used to, but it's a whole lot better than people who put their best map on, disable every item they don't use, and only play vs people with less stats.

The reason I don't like the stat suit is you're either playing with an advantage over someone or on an equal playing field with them. (Unless they have a bunge suit I guess, but Im reffering to the standard clone suit).

That and I look cool.

Try having an avatar off game with no items!! Takes a while, but stradegy is at its fullest.

Honestly, I do that all the times. It's how I beat noobs for money. Very quick games on avatar off server 12.

Well happens to me a lot...

But..

considering im a wand    

[LIALE]

im a wand  

It's no longer a wand now. Personally, I kick anyone who's above gold axe just to ensure I get win.

Thats actually what I had players do in the Final Match in a tournament I held this weekend. It was an awesome match, but the loser was completely decimated.

meh...i'm a wand......imagine the times i get kicked out of rooms....whats really fun and lets me cool off a bit is i take my old acct with its space marine suit, go into avatar, and kills those 1v1 stat clones with lightning....they can't handle it when i move around the map...and miss more often than not...its a good way to relieve my anger...

Gah here's something else people do. I don't wanna make a whole new topic so I'll just reply here.

I go into 1v1 games called Random Only or something like that. I pick random, and they switch to boomer or a sate or something real fast. Now it doesn't bother me that I randomed and they didn't. That's how I always play. What bothers me is that they resort to trickery to give themself and advantage. Another thing is creating a jewel game, I go in and pick my jewel items (dual+ blood blood blood shovel), and they switch it to solo and start. Again I'm not mad that its solo, but the fact that they are using stupid tricks to try to win.  The worst part is, half the time I'm expecting them to do it and I'm surprised when they don't.

I need to feel the playing field was completely even to get the full sense of victory when I win. Oh well it just makes it that much better when I do win because I beat them on their settings

I know how you feel. I'm a major 1on1er, and have been kicked countless times by wands. It's pretty ridiculous how someone at least 3 ranks and several thousand gp higher than me can be frightened by a mere Silver Battleaxe+. I have never kicked someone before or left, unless they were hackers.

Also, that's where playing with friends comes in.

If they use any sort of trickery, I leave in the loading lobby, thus crashing their room. It hurts when they have a good number.
