THE STATE OF MULTIPLAYER

What is wrong with MM?

I'd post the image but I don't have it

You can enjoy life without being obnoxious about it

No more sense of community that community servers provided, only some random dirtbags you will never see again. When you combine that with the general obsession with e-sports and people’s ridiculous tendency to see themselves as prospective god’s gift for game x’s competitive scene, you have miserable, bitter, and overly tense people stuck playing with other equally annoying people with you in between.

You also forgot
>personal ranking scores and globally tracked stats making people treat even casual losses like the fucking end of the world

That's the sort of reaction I would expect when your wife dies giving birth

Dude made a video of him crying with excitement over a Star Wars trailer to share his joy with the world. How is that obnoxious? It's pretty darn brave if you ask me.

The fact that you said darn makes me discredit your opinion and imagine you as a big submissive niggerfaggot

Party chat killed the potential for making new friends in online games

Matchmaking eventually led to e-sports or at least facilitated every """e-sports""" scene outside of anything remotely legitimate you can find.

This sums it up fairly well, but to add: in the case of Overwatch for instance, the devs have more or less transformed the whole thing into a nannystate where everyone can whine about the most inane things plausible and then get their way. This was even before the "OK" hand gesture retardation.

Matchmaking was then designed to assign you an arbitrary number that is determined far more by the skill of your own teammates than yours ever could in many multiplayer settings because the devs lazily copied League of Legends and likely similar matchmaking services when that system for "league matchmaking" came out. This system in question was based on ELO, which is used for Chess matches. I'll give you a minute to process that, but in case it didn't dawn on you (it certainly didn't occur to the devs of League nor anyone else that keeps using it), Chess is a game played between two people. League is played between ten as two teams of five. Much harder to justify or even accurately determine an individual's score in this case. But of course these numbers as stated before became the perfect breeding ground for retards waving their imaginary e-dicks around thinking they're actually good, but more often than not got really lucky. Overwatch once again, proved this when an actual professional player began a season on three different accounts and got placed in wildly different matchmaking divisions.

Blizzard is great at game polish when they set their minds to it, and even their matchmaking can be a hot mess. Now imagine that to less seasoned devs who make a slap-dash attempt to copy the ones that happen to be successful...

I hate that shit too honestly, playing Call of Duty always makes me subconsciously nervous about my kill score instead of genuinely enjoying the game.

Leaderboards were a mistake.

People who suck at MP killed MP through forums and the devs freaking out about sales.

Wait, what's wrong with saying "darn"? O_o

Lurk more faggot

this. I miss hopping onto my regular servers and shooting the shit with the dudes who i always saw on them.
