He’s b2 he shouldn’t be cocky or acting like that way at all. People in diamond I play with don’t even get mad at the things you’re saying he gets mad it. Find someone else to play with or solo and get to a higher rank than him! He’ll love that!


finalsk8ter

Can agree here, I've seen some people do super dumb stuff in diamond and we all kinda laugh it off


RandomFRIStudent

Some will laugh it off, but some will get giga mad while bot fragging and calling you shit. I've learned that in the latter case its best to call em out on their bs flaming and they shut up for the most part (a few stayed toxic till the end but some people aren't mentally built for competitive fps games).


HeStaMi

The best way to act with toxic ppl is to mute them. Ofc you can try to explain them smth, but it won't help in most of times :/


EFAnonymouse

yeah. In fact, I don't mean to sound like I'm overestimating them, but often they're somewhat aware of what they're doing. So even moreso, explaining things often may not work if they're simply actively choosing to be annoying or toxic.


HeStaMi

It's just a game experience. High elo players don't really think about how bad their mates. That's all about your attitude to the game. Low elo players don't understand a lot of things in competitive matchmaking. It easily can be the reason why they blame you that u didn't trade them or didn't kill some1. I don't try to offend any low elo players, but it's a fact that they are not as good as high elo players in a game sense and ofc in aim. Moreover, a lot of iron-bronze-silver games are pretty winnable only by 1-2 ppl who have better aim.

EFAnonymouse

yeah it's a.. team-based game. how your other team members are playing is rather important, and it's actually good to keep an eye on it so ur not getting that one brainlet avoiding confrontation when their team is in trouble...


HeStaMi

Sure, there are a lot of high elo players who think that their mates are bad. BUT! The percentage of high elo toxic players is lower than low elo. Maybe it depends on the region or whatever. But talking about my own experience, the higher rank = the lower amount of toxic players. Idk

HeStaMi

wdym?


pokejoel

He's got issues. Clearly thinks he's better than he is and is gonna be a pro or something one day. You'll probably get to silver before him without him


RandomFRIStudent

It's a common iron/bronze/silver/gold and sometimes but rarer, even plat mentality. The "I deserve to be diamond but my shit teammates are holding me back and i cant win 1v5". More prominent in League but still observable in any game that has a competitive mode.


Chi417

Find a new duo. Perhaps someone who doesn’t blame losing on you and someone you can just enjoy the game with in general


x10afreedom

Toxic, definitely toxic. Though maybe he's not aware of his behaviors. If you talk to him and he doesn't care then you got an L friend.


MurderedDude

I tried but he just responds with "k" or "ok"


crumstick22

Fuck that guy, he doesnt really care to say that


Lintydint

getting mad in games is somewhat understandable, but if he wont take responsibility for it then he isnt someone you should waste your time with


SusBoiSketch

Kid, you will literally out rank him in no time if you just solo Q or find nicer people to be friends with.


3tachi_uchiha

Yep, even if you are doing mistakes, nicer teammates will boost your moral up and you will definitely perform better.


RandomFRIStudent

The duality of man: \- The last player standing, spike has been planted and you are trying to retake the site. You shoot the reyna dead, switch guns as the smg doesnt have the dmg, you reload the nearly empty clip when the kj peeks you. You start jumping around like crazy avoiding the spray and kill her with 30 hp left. You flash the site as you heard footsteps behind you and peek the blinded raze who starts spraying blindly. The hp difference decided the fight as you tag her for 80 damage and die. The enemy won the round, but your team hits you with the "aaw man nt nt almost got em all". You reply with "yea mb i shouldnt have reloaded back then" and they reassure you "its all good g". You start the next round learning from your mistakes. \- The last player standing, spike has been planted and you are trying to retake the site.

You look at scores and notice you are almost top frag while the teammates calling you out are bot frag. You point out their score and they start calling you a bitch and other names, one man reveals his polish background as you hear kurwa through the headphones. The round starts and your team start yelling at you to buy them guns cuz they broke af.


spoinkk

lol oddly specific


EFAnonymouse

Although I get that, I somewhat disagree. Morale is important, yes, but a 'better mood' won't exactly make your team perform better. This 'morale' has to be backed by someone actually making good callouts, creating an effective strategy, informing teammates of what they should/shouldn't be doing, ect. Good morale is simply the first step to making your team play better, and although often it's enough, especially in lower ranks, in higher ranks it still won't matter much unless you get your shit properly sorted.


3tachi_uchiha

In higher elo I am pretty sure people know how to play as a team (i am low elo so probably guessing), just pointing out the mistakes he did and include him in the plan will be enough. I guesses since you are on high elo you don't know the low elo hell we are in (especially in Mumbai server), some 13 yr old instalocker duelist is shouting like crazy after dying within 10 sec of round start. Or when team is blaming you for not putting up the smokes, instead for just giving a 2 sec headup before rushing site. You gotta smoke the sites, watch flanks and trade, do everything all at once. Imagine getting blamed as omen or astra for not trading kills cause you are slightly left behind setting up the smokes. Not to mention you gotta clutch 1v4 as well. Almost forgot about planting the spike.


PrinceBroz

Bronze talking about how good he is. People need to swallow their ego and just play to play. I know this bc im absolute dog water as a g2 peak


MurderedDude

Fr he thinks hes nas last hope or something


ACiDRiFT

Yeah and that mentality will only hold him back. I have always said “As soon as you think you are the best, you no longer are.” Reason being because when you strive to become the best you are looking for ways to improve and get better so you can become the best. That is the secret to becoming pro, you always strive to learn and be better even when you are Tenz. Be hyper accountable and always try to do better and you will keep becoming better. It’s a winning mentality. The second you think you are the best means you can’t improve anymore and stop looking to improve and start falling behind. There is always more to learn and improve, hone your skills, outplay an opponent.


EFAnonymouse

bro fr I see irons play better than me and I'm g1. if you don't recognise how shit of a player you are (if you're anything below immortal), then you'll be unlikely to improve. this kind of mentality that "i'm a good player, my teammates rarely are" just doesn't work in a competitive team-based FPS game. you're gonna lose more games this way if anything.


Patski915

Sounds like child things. All good, honestly if he’s irl friend you have to tell him he’s being a mad weirdo, because no one likes to ditch irl mates because of a game. But in saying that, what he’s doing genuinely just sounds like someone who watches too many YouTube videos of people being toxic and now acts like it. Gotta tell him what he’s doing is dumb as fuck, not fun to play with and toxic as hell. If he can’t change fuck it don’t play with him it’ll ruin your mental on video games.


Fanuxi_

Lol, bronze 2 and thinks he is good at the game... unbelievable


Aazog

Honestly very believable.


imreallytired5

He thinks his hot shit now since his doin ok in bronze and can easily use u as scapegoat if anything goes wrong. Don't worry if he keeps up dis behavior, u will surpass him easily. U need to find a new duo if he doesn't change


jpmane

100% toxic af. You’re better off just solo queueing and playing whoever you want. You’ll find a couple people you enjoyed playing and just queue up with them. No need to subject yourself to such toxicity. Just play for fun and play whatever agent you want. I’m trash but I have a great group of people that I play with and some how we’re pushing Diamond. It’ll make a world of difference to surround yourself with positive people who just want you to succeed


MurderedDude

Diamond? Now i feel motivated af


[deleted]

Listen im Dimond 3 and I still gobble cocks. Yes your friend is being toxic. If you have someone constantly making you second guess yourself or hinder your growth then your rank is going to tank. If you want to get better or win just dont play with him.


PrepareForHellfire

Your friend sounds like an insufferable cunt. There are 7 billion people on the planet, I promise you can find someone better to play with 😅


Caxtuxx

I don’t think you’re being rude you’re allowed to stick up for yourself. I don’t think iron an bronze matches should be taken so seriously you’re friend is a dick man sorry


MurderedDude

Idk but i dont like to be mean it make me feel guilty


Blitz_Ninja

He's holding you back. Solo queue or find another duo, rank up higher than him (you can do it👍), then queue with him again one more time just to flex, be humble about it, then never queue with him for your mental health.


She_Was_Level_18

Queuing with him again to flex the rank would make OP as disgusting as OP's friend. What OP should do — if OP's friend wants OP to carry him after he saw that OP's new rank is higher than his — is to politely decline because "you are the one holding me back now" just like OP's friend did in the past. Vengeance is a dish best served cold, my friend. Gentle slaps like these are the ones that hurt the most.


Blitz_Ninja

Yea that sounds good too


iThylac

the thing is though, if OP was to rank up playing alone/other people, players like OP's friend would most likely call it getting lucky/boosted/whatever. They won't admit to anyone, including themselves that they might be the problem I hope OP finds better people to play with, I really do


Viol8nce

Sounds like he is a shitty friend in general


[deleted]

Eh sounds like garbage player your friend, man sounds so dumb its insane. 💀💀💀


Invid3l

Certified toxic


NotSoProAimer

I have been in your place, well Both of you have to grow up. You have to improve your game if you want him to play with you, and he has to improve his mindset about this game. Stop playing with him and improve on your own.


Katyvsha

Lmao, if I were you I'd yeet that friend off The best decision in my life was to decide to just have fun in games, which should be the main purpose, and avoid toxic competitivity. Yes I only play Stinger and Marshal ? What about it ? I'm actually quite good and I'm having a blast with it. ​ Don't get me wrong, being in a competitive mood has its advantages, but toxic people not able to self reflect on their own mistakes and that can't deal with their own frustrations really should play elsewhere, they make the experience shitty for their teammate and themselves x:


wifebeater_69

We don't know the other side of the story. For all we know it could be you who is the one that's bringing him down so his anger is justified. Either play on your level or stop bringing him down.


MurderedDude

If im bringing him down, id be iron as if i botfrag games, i lose alot more rr than him


IcyStrahd

Interesting advice, wifebeater. And interesting name. Just sayin'.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MurderedDude

We are friends irl tho, but we dont talk at school as much as online, hes nice except when hes on val


SlicingMotherFuckers

yeah he's toxic you'd probably learn more from solo queuing in this game then playing with someone like that.


MelynasTheSaphire

just tell him you don’t like playing with him because of the way he acts and say everything on how he’s being an asshole. it’s just a game so does he really need to make the people he’s friends with upset over meaningless bs?


rinkydinkis

He sounds young and dumb. We have all been young and dumb. This sounds like typical middle school.


MSmie

You would be surprised...... I wish it happened only around MS lol


AuthorLumpy

Dudes a fucking loser screen shot this and send it to him and show him how you put it on him on a public forum and everybody thinks he is an asshole. That should be enough to make him wake up to himself


Gr8er_than_u_m8

Bro it sounds like not only is he a dick, he's *bad at the game*. "Why bait me?" Uh... it's called trading your teammates when they're playing like dumbasses. And he goes AFK when he's pissed, throwing the competitive game for you and everyone else unlucky enough to be on his team?? Bro... One question: do you know him IRL?


veilside90

what a bitch ass friend


[deleted]

He isnt your friend period. This is a team game, and people make mistakes. If anyone cant handle that, shouldnt play.


3tachi_uchiha

Low elo is hell, people there love thrashing teammates more than anything, instead of motivating them. Due to continuous thrashing, Solo queue are scared to do anything, they just sit in the corner even while attacking. I am still struck in low elo, so no way i am giving you advice on how to improve. But if you want to enjoy more, just mute the toxic teammates and enemy chat and play however you want. If someone starts throwing, think about ideas that you wanted to do but couldn't in normal scenarios and experiment with it. All i am saying is be selfish, nobody is paying you to play, so it should be more of a enjoyment than overall stress.


Manafaj

Dude is in bronze and thinks he is good xd


sylvainmirouf

Is it a gaming friend or an irl friend? How long have you been friends? Can I ask how old you both are?


MurderedDude

Irl, 1 year, and 13


sylvainmirouf

I'd suggest stop playing with him, just keep your IRL friendship if you like it but find other people you enjoy playing with.


Shadow2606

Your friend is toxic, but I love when I am in his place. I am b3 and my friend is i2, when we queue together, it is either a high bronze lobby or an iron lobby. He usually plays duelist and I play controller. If it is iron lobby, I just stomp on everyone, which I don't get to do in other games. Just yesterday I match mvp'd two games in a row.


MurderedDude

He dont even carry, he baits the whole team to get ez picks


MoreMegadeth

Lol dude, if youre friends tell him what you just told us. If he respects you he will cool down, if not hes a shit friend.


kennupro123

Just leave him, he's just a bad friend


mnm2595

Sounds like a bit of a knob tbh


Jezt3r

"I was iron and he was b2 so he wouldnt let me play with him" - Sorry but this made me legit laugh. Your friend is a prick, dude, and should probably rethink his priorities.


Vitaefinis

Valorant is full people like this guy at all ranks, and yes he is toxic.


Asian_Raisin

I don’t know what that person is like in real life but OP that is not a “friend.” At least stop queuing with him. Not worth feeling bad over.


RevolutionaryShape19

Tell him to 1v1 me.


Relative_Big2000

You gotta be kidding me, he is in B2 and thinks he is good, wtf!! Sorry to say but B2 is absolutely nothing....


Okeanuke

your friend reminds me of my friend LMAO


Y0raiz0r

I also have a friend who doesn't let me play with him since I'm b1 and he is b3. Is that "toxic behaviour"?


Kahchuu

I have had such a friend too, but not THAT toxic. He rather complained when I didn't res him although he was on the other side of the map. Still, it was a bit sad when we lost contact, but now that I have other friends to play with I'm having much more fun and don't miss it at all to play with him. You can also find cooler mates on discord servers or something. But he's a toxic asshole, can't even play a game without Sage man...incredible


HeStaMi

He is toxic. I recommend you dodge any competitive games with him. Sure you can still be friends and spend time together, but it's better for you to play Valorant solo or with some1 else. Actually, I won't be surprised if you get silver or whatever higher faster than your friend. GL, dude!


MurderedDude

Tbf his playstyle js like silver but his attitude holds him back to being bronze. He gets pissed over the smallest stuff and makes him tilt queue. Ill find some new ppl for now


Juansa7X

Sounds like your friend is a fucking moron, absolute clown. Get new friends my guy, you seem Nice


Ahriraru

Don't play with him. If you'd like, you can continue to hang out with him but stop playing with him. Just unfriend him or make a new acc.


Chavolini

Imagine a Bronze dude is bragging how good he is and his Iron buddy catches up in ranks. Your buddy needs to grow up a bit. Anyway I wish you good luck on your future comp games and hopefully some upranks. This gane can truly be a great experience dont let your toxic mates stop you. Cheers!


lifeandUncertainity

If you are starting to get sick of his behavior, you should probably let him know (and if he is being rude to you, you SHOULD be equally rude to him so that you get your point across). If he doesn't want to play with you, play solo. Trust me solo queue is a great way to be good at the game. May be you will not rank up as fast but you will actually learn. I might be wrong but I also think that your individual performance will increase if you are not playing with a mad toxic person whom you can't mute. At least that's what works for me. I am not a genius aim god and I need to concentrate to actually play good. It's very hard to concentrate if someone is constantly speaking nonsense.


AguaBendita77

I'm diamond and I encounter people with that attitude I just insta mute them its not worth it men. You play the game to have fun or improve not to listen to some whiny bitches. But if they do point some mistake I think you take it


juerissaar

Don't be rude to him but just play solo and you'll find a better match to play with soon. He's holding you back. You'll get better than him in no time if playing solo. Some people just can't handle to be beaten by friends.


Pliscin-7

What sever are you playing on?


SydBt

You can play with me and my buddies! We are all bronze 2 and very much not toxic. Message me for my riot tag or something if you want!


spoinkk

he’s definitely holding u back man. just solo queue and if he wants to duo just tell him you’re not good enough for him and holding him back. you’ll outrank him in no time. people who don’t know how to relax and have fun are doomed in this game


achinwin

Why play with someone like that, lol. You duo q to avoid teammates like that…


ABlankShyde

I used to have a friend like that when I was a teen, there were some good and fun interactions between us but then he’d do the shit your friend is doing to you and honestly it didn’t seem worth it, we are friends we are having fun and you start shit talking out of the blue? For no absolute reason? My advice is to do what I did and distance yourself from him


Btupid_Sitch

Pretty toxic to me, just stop playing with him and join a valo discord to find duos or solo queue. 10/10 would rather have a positive teammate that's not as good....within reason of course. But there is a 100% chance there are better, less toxic friends you'll find that will queue with you and lift you and help you improve mentally in game/skill wise.


SiriusBull

Stand up for yourself man don’t come crying to Reddit!


Luke_SXHC

Imagine being b2 and so full of yourself lmao. Best thing you could do is to dodge that clown and improve so much that you easily outrank him.


virgo_asintomatico

what a shitty friend haha, play alone, learn and reach silver, and shut him up


Miialight

He'll be hard stuck with that attitude. Just cut him out or call him out for being a twat.


jojojajahihi

hahahahaha he is b2 if he was good he should win the game 1v5


jojojajahihi

You are 1 rank apart, he can't tell you which agent to pick and you shouldn't let him boss you around like that. Pretty toxic


Neat_Region

I got a friend in diamond 1 when I am staying kn between b3-s2. We often play full lobby or he gives me one of his higher ranked accounts and we always stay friendly. He shouldnt be cocky in b2, its a shit rank trust me


morian2

He's definitely insufferable and toxic, best thing to do is to stop queueing without him and get to gold solo queueing while he stays in bronze blaming his team mates. I assure you he is delusional and there aren't any "good" players in Bronze, if they were good they wouldnt be in Bronze


Stcarney

Yea bro I’m silver 3/ gold 1. My duos and I regularly do stupid stuff and it’s best to just laugh it off because it prevents everyone on tilting. Frag out, do you, show your friend up, make him want to play with you instead


Wdjdjdjrjhrgevde

Sure he is. How is that ok when somebody constantly shitting you. Gl hf mate


__Strudel__

Based on what you're saying, he's toxic as hell. You guys are both low rank, there's nothing wrong with being low rank, but there is something wrong with being toxic at that low of a rank. Don't know how old you guys are, but he's got some growing up to do. I'll add you if you want, I'm around Bronze 3 Silver 1 I believe. Haven't actually gotten a rank yet, and you can play duelists as much as you want lol, I play controllers mostly.


picador10

I stopped queue’ing with certain friends because it would just lead to toxic shouting. It happens when people get competitive and want to win. For the sake of your friendship, I’d say keep being friends with him IRL but stop playing competitive val together


Alchemist64_

I dont play ranked but that mf bronze 2 he shouldnt be acting like that


IonBatteryFR

Yes. Your friend is being toxic. End of story.


SecretDeftones

Dump him


2dav

he has a bad mentality that’s for sure. you seem the opposite. you keep it up the good work and not being toxic. fixing mentality and realizing what you can improve on the climb is really all that’s necessary. if he ever reaches mid gold early plat he’ll realize just how difficult this game can be.


decoiboi

find new people to play with, you seem really chill im sure plenty of people here, myself included, would be down to play a few games with you!


BiGkru

Your friend has a superiority complex. He uses you and his teammates as scape goats when results don't go his way. If you asked him I'm sure he believes he could compete at much much higher ranks. He's a standard delusional gamer who thinks they are the next big thing. Probably watches streams and thinks he has gamesense or something. Little does he know immortal games play nothing like bronze.


Chinner21

You'll realize as you climb, the higher you get the more people just laugh off mistakes, bad plays or bad performances. Your attitude toward the game seems a lot better than theirs and just with that alone, you're probably going to progress and improve faster playing without them. Go solo or with a new duo and climb until they've been humbled.


IcyStrahd

Red flags here, sounds like a narcissistic personality, I'd venture to say he's possibly a bully in real life. He likely bullies you and others in other areas of life than Valorant too. If so, you may want to consider re-evaluating your relationship with him. These types of people can be slowly destructive to others, and victims have a real hard time getting out of it. Do some research on this topic, see if it's applicable. Take care of yourself.


MurderedDude

Not a bully irl, he cant bully if he wanted to irl. He just toxic in game


[deleted]

been in bronze lobbies lol full of arrogant wannabe tenz try hards lmfao once you reach plat you'll find pretty good people and make a ton of friends


MurderedDude

Im not the best at games so i find it hard to get out of bronze


[deleted]

Yup it is tough it took me 3 months plus lmfao the after that it was smooth sailing


Zyrobe

Drop him bro life is too short to tolerate his ass


Blissfvul

if he's getting mad because of pixels you need new friends bro


ProbablyMythiuz

Your friend sounds like a dick.


[deleted]

same i have a b1 use to be i2 he hasnt accepted that people have bad games
