It's also frustrating when you're not particularly skilled are just having an unusually good performance. My K/D ratio hovered somewhere just under 1, but I had outlier moments in CoD where I would rack up kill streaks and end games 16-0 or 27-1. Being accused of cheating and then follow-through harassed via PMs was just exhausting and ate up some of the joy of performing well.
- cronix 4y agoI always turn off text and voice chat as part of setting any game up. I don't care what others in a game have to say about, well, anything. I'm there to play. I rarely if ever look at the social tab of any game. One of the worst things to happen to games in the last 15 or so years imho is in game communications (second to only being able to play with a net connection). We used to use external apps like teamspeak and xfire and the like if we cared enough to talk to people, like if you were in a clan and needed to play cooperatively.
- enneff 4y agoI love it when people get salty at me when I do well. I take it as a huge compliment.
- vintermann 4y agoWell if you cheat you get to enjoy that feeling even when you wouldn't do well. I honestly expect many of the people who go "nah I'm just that good" even in this thread are actually cheating. That smirk wouldn't feel any less good if you were cheating, in fact it'd be one more thing to smirk about.
- enneff 4y agoOn the contrary, I would get no pleasure from the salt if I were cheating. The pleasure entirely comes from feeling good at the game, so good that people feel the need to complain about it.
- reportgunner 4y ago> I honestly expect many of the people who go "nah I'm just that good" even in this thread are actually cheating. This, players that are actually good don't feel the need to brag about it on hacker news.
- TheHappyOddish 4y agoI don't know why you think being good at video games makes you a better grounded person. Lots of people good at games also have big egos.
- Xelbair 4y agotake it as a confirmation of your skill - you did so well that others thing you must've been cheating. It is a badge of honor, not a hassle.
