In every game. Nothing specific. Everyone higher than me is a sweat, everyone below is stupid.
I always play Ranked / Competitive cuz I just want to have fun :)

Ranked is fun until you start caring about your rank.
Or your friends start getting sweaty.
I prefer me the multiplayer environment of Fromsoft games where it's just absolute degeneracy and your own damn pride on the line. Where the sweat and the stupid blurs.
Where the sweat and stupid blurs is just so apt. Nicely done.
playing a game for fun vs playing a game to feel better than others
playing a game to feel something, just anything
I climbed to gold once in StarCraft 2 by worker rushing every single game. I still have no idea how to play an RTS competitively. I was inspired by reading this hilarious blog post back in the day of a guy hardstuck in plat that decided to just worker rush until he was bronze

Besides cheesing in SC2, I'm gold 2 in Overwatch mostly because I'm comfortable with fps games and I try to plug in whatever gaps our team has. I only voice comm constructive things. The second I get a team where it's just complaining I mute and try to win without voice comms. If I lose 3 games in a row that's it, I take a break.
Honestly, it's the right image for both. At least for team based games. The first thing that comes to mind are unpleasent people when I hear ladder.
Just wait until lemmy ranked
I refuse to leave my basement ranking
Based on knowing your name by the content you frequently post this made me LOL
This is why I have incoming to 0. You wanna talk shit, you can type it. I ain't listening to preteens or hormone riddled teens scream like they got a carrot shoved up their ass.
Destiny 2 for me. Unless I'm playing with friends (never happens because they hate comp and trials), I just keep my voice muted. They don't need to hear me raging, I don't need them making me feel worse than I already do. The text chat is bad enough.
flashback to my dota days.
'nam flashbacks?
I used to play and I know it's a time sink, but Eve Online is so open ended, that you do you and know one gives a fuck about any ranking system.
Greetings, dear friend!
I’m working on what I’d call a spiritual successor to EVE - very early in development still. That open-ended design is what made EVE special, and it’s something I want to push even further!
We also have a Lemmy instance! (even though no one uses it yet) :)
