The good, the bad and the ugly - ALL in the space of a fortnight!
The Good - Me and 4 of my clanmates were in an Iron Bandana match a few weeks ago and had a random with us. He was only lvl 30 and finished with a really impressive K/D and had the second highest number of kills on our team. We won by a mile and he played a part.
Because of his level and the obvious handicap that gave him, we sent him messages telling him how well he had done. Nothing creepy, just stuff like 'good game mate' and 'well done!' etc.
He was rightly happy with himself and seemed to appreciate the praise. He congratulated us back on the win and stuff.
The Bad - During a match in the same I.B event, we were losing. I heard my teammates complaining about a player zooming all over the place like The Flash and lagging out like a nutter. I came across him when he ran around the corner and straight into one of my rockets. He ran straight through it and disappeared. He turned up behind me so I shot again. Straight through him again. He walked up to me all calm and shotgunned my grill off.
Raging, I made a rash decision to message him. I accused him of cheating. Bad move and something I'd never usually do. He invited me to a party and I accepted. He told me he didn't know he was lagging and apologised. He sounded genuine and I felt horrible.
The Ugly - Shortly afterwards, I had a shocking game and we lost badly. I think we all did poorly that game. A random on our team messaged me, telling me never to play I.B again because I'm the worst player. I was already a bit disheartened at my performance, but to have someone call me for it? I responded but he'd blocked me.
I looked at his stats to see just how good he was himself, but he is actually a lot worse than I am and had no right calling my skills. My friend messaged him and told him he was out of order, but the guy said I lost them the match and he wouldn't apologise to me.
I thought of any children playing who may have received messages like that and how they might feel and just couldn't understand why anyone would lash out like that.
