    Yes. But fun is relative. When I play rocket league, I like to try my hardest. If I’m not trying hard, it’s not as exiting. So it’s frustrating when playing ranked and for example your teammate is not even trying . Maybe RL isn’t the best example because matches are under 10 minutes, so I can just start another one, but games where you spend an hour, it’s just different

      No. It’s not mature. If you play it like a sport, then being a gentleman is very important for your fun and growth both.

      IME in RL I don’t get told to KMS because I’m not trying, I get told to KMS because my teammate won’t rotate and I fail to defend a 2v1 while they’re fucking around on the other end of the field. Or my favorite, where they’ll fake rotate and then overcommit. Then I’m the one who doesn’t rotate (even though I spent 80% of the match defending because “I got it! I got it! I got it!”)
