I'll never forget being new to the game and I bought a perk because someone I watched play the game always used it.
So I was like "Ooooh I want that perk!" so I bought it.
I had a match with people much better than me at the game and one of them was a douchebag all match.
I was able to down him and hook him - my only hook of the match.
He got saved and left and I went to say gg and they called me a shitty player with a shitty perk.
It hurt my feelings because even though I lost, I had fun.
Other players told them I was new and not to be a dick to me - they defended me.
I was so upset, I smarted off to the douchebag and left.
I didn't thank those people for defending me and I still feel bad.
I don't have any issues with playing with newbies.
Since my rank is so low, I usually get new people on my team.
I have more patience for them because I was new once and made similar mistakes.
People will never learn how to play without playing.
Everyone was new once, so don't discourage them from playing, y'know?
I actually had a teammate that missed a bunch of skill checks, but I stayed with them until we finished.
I could have left, I could have insulted them, but I didn't.
I said "That's okay! If the Killer comes over, we'll go down together 8u"
And sometimes people miss skill checks while healing me and I say "It's okay - just relax 8u"
But people say "YOU SUCK GET GOOD GO KILL YOURSELF!" and it's so incredibly unnecessary and stupid.
It takes so little to just say nothing and so much to overly insult someone.
