Received this from a player.  Obviously, has anger issues.  What do you do?

well, that depends. Did you secure his kills?

If your gun is loaded shoot.

My replay shows I was watching the victim and the other player was not in my sight and came into my blind spot after I had position

Ignore

 

No such thing as kill stealing, just winning and losing.

 

You can ask for the kill if your in line for an epic medal but no one is under any compulsion to oblige.

Unless a teammate is about to get a raisin, I take the shot when I see it. End of story. You should do the same.

I usually send in a screen shot to WG and give the offender a one-line reply of: things happen quickly and I assume that we are all out to win.

Totally agree. Even when I'm about to clear a mission like "kill 2 in one battle", etc., the point of the game is for your team to win. I find it depressing when one of our greens says "Negative" when a red gets taken out. Just a sad commentary on the selfishness of folks.

Ask him why it takes so long for him to reload.

 

Then ask him how his mother is doing and if she is still walking with a limp.

 

Then ask him the same about his girlfriend.

 

Then about every four or five days shoot him a random message asking how his is doing, and what the weather is like by him.  Again apologize for wrecking his mother, and reassure him that she commented that she could handle it before we began.

I usually tell them they are hilarious and should look into a career as a professional comedian - the results usually are more funny salt or an instant block.

 

No such thing as killstealing in a team deathmatch shooter - every kill is the team's kill and I'm pretty sure I saw in a Blitz profitability guide there is no credit or xp bonus for a kill shot.

  The guy’s an amateur. He uses all caps, that’s a dead giveaway. I can’t believe you missed it.

 

  This is a classic situation where it’s easy to explain what’s worth responding to and what isn’t. If the guy can’t use anything above playground level vocabulary, he isn’t worth responding to. If he complains about something that didn’t effect the outcome of the game or get him killed he’s also not worth responding to. In this case he checks both boxes.

 

  The language used leaves the only opening available and the only response acceptable to give in this situation is a reference to his mother. I believe I’d have used, 

 

  “Tell your mom I said hey”

 

  Escalation after that is discretionary and dependent upon how intelligent the instigator is, in this case I’d say there would have been a good chance to pile a few more on before he gave up.

Put in your binky and get off the forum?

[_West]

Thanks for all the replies.  Very insiteful to the different approaches.  I didn’t respond, as I find kids like this feed off of responses.  This person obviously needs a hug.  Maybe rgrove36 will give this person the hug they need.  But then again, everyone needs a place to feel comfort and TOXIN maybe that place for this person.

 

SullBhit, when your mom gives it up, I might give it back to you!

I hate some trash tank. The ones I hate is when you won the game and they felt like you didn't do enough. Last night I got two bad praises. Bad ping has happen a lot after the last update. So I asked another 60%( a different game) about how would you feel, because you did 0 damage and I got the team together to down vote you. No comment. You talk it to me I give it right back. My mouth can come up with some ruff stuff. I never start it. Even when I see a player do very bad.

So what if you didn't take the shots and didn't clear the tanks and then your team goes on to lose. You'll get just as much venom (maybe more) but from more players (including the one that you would have 'stolen' the kills from) AND you will have lost. I agree 100% with Sonder101. If you have a round and a target you pull the trigger without hesitation.

Poaching is when a player gets two kills, and in the end only tallies 34 hp. The poacher usually waits in a corner not helping and then gets the last shot. In your case, stealing shots is your team working for a final goal, to win. This guy clearly is a pizza sheet and has a vitamin B Itch problem. Take as many shots and make the barrel glow.
