For the past two days, my friend (Jack) wants to play League of Legend with me. For context, the game is an online game where you match with players online and verse other people in a 5v5 format. The game (depending on how long it goes) can range from 15mins to more.
Not going to lie, I do like playing the game and I play it regularly when I finish work. When Jack found out I still play the game, he wanted to play with me very badly, and that’s fine except certain behaviour in game really make me don’t want to play with him.
I’m not the best player but I do play to try and win. Jack, however, doesn’t. He would:
1. Die a lot in the game which gives advantage to the opposing team (that’s fine. Can’t help it if he’s bad)
2. Deliberately to then troll in game (e.g. going AFK, give away our team position using chat by telling the opposing team where we were, refuse to fight in team fight and just doing things to disadvantage the team **on purpose**). Even when I give him suggestion on what to do, he would give a response that basically indicates he doesn’t care and just wanted to troll (e.g. "I know! It’s WEIRD, right?").
3. And if the team try to surrender, he would deliberately vote no to ensure the game last longer even though it’s clear there’s no chance of winning.
Because of all that, I honestly don’t want to play with him.
I’ve communicated that to Jack today (after he kept asking me to play with him every hour to the point where I don’t have any excuses to say no to him). He then responded saying I take the games too seriously, called me a fatass and vegetable, and acted as if I’m the AH.
I know this topic is immature but AITAH?
League of legends brings out the worst in people lol. NTA, sounds like a nightmare to queue with.
NTA. Playing with people who troll is a waste of your time. They always seem to argue “I’m just having fun”, it’s immature and pointless. I don’t mind the occasional joke, like killing your friend in a game with friendly fire. But not every damn game. Constantly playing like that is just dumb.
NTA. He’s clowning, not playing the game. You just want to play the game. Tell him he’s a clown and can have his own fun, without ruining yours, somewhere else.
Short is no
NTA. But seriously, if youre going to insult someone over a game, that’s your sign you need better friends.
NTA – Dude is playing the wrong game for his personality.
NTA, I don’t blame you for not wanting to play with him.
NTA. This guy is not your friend. At least not a gaming friend. I wouldn’t play with him either.
That guy’s not your friend, he is a no life loser.NTA
NTA – it’s clear there are global issues at play here. Continuing a friendship with Jack will only lead to more serious consequences down the road, in the real world, outside of gameplay. He revealed his true colors with his extreme reaction and ad hominem attacks upon learning that you don’t want to play a game with him. Life will teach Jack some hard lessons. Meanwhile, surround yourself with like-minded people, in and out of the game.
NTA. Just tell him his ingame playing style is not compatible with yours.
