What Online Multiplayer Is Like For Someone Who Doesn't Play Games

[@razbuten]

Ey. If you'd like to see more from me on a regular basis, check out my twitter @theRazbuten, and also follow me on me on Twitch for streams or whatever: www.twitch.tv/razbuten In general, I just wanna say that I hope you're all staying safe in this scary and weird time. One silver-lining that has come from this is that now my wife (more locally known as the Lady I Live With) is working from home, so we will have a little more time to record stuff for this series, and she will even be able to drop in for some streams every once and awhile. I've got a lot of big ideas for the series and channel as a whole, and I look forward to being able to share them with you all over the next few months. As always feel free to leave your recommendations for games you'd like us to cover in this series. Have a good one, and see you soon. Edit: I changed the thumbnail because I didn't really like how it looked on YT (the bright colors from that Fortnite picture didn't really mesh well with the color scheme I like to use for Gaming For A Non-Gamer, and while I think it looks fine in Photoshop, when things are shrunk down and compressed on YT, it looks less fine). I know most of you don't care, probably, but just in case you were like "what the fuck? why did the thumbnail change?" this is why. I am weird. Sorry.

MOBA's as a genre naturally lead people towards being assholes (if someone told me to make a game designed to make people as toxic as possible while still being addictive enough for them to play it'd look extremely similar to a MOBA), and as we all know, the more people involved in something the more assholes there are.

@@MelaLabelle No, for any player. It's super common for teammates to flame each other thinking they are doing nothing, when in reality it's a big map with a lot of moving parts, and most people are usually doing something.

I'm a casual MOBA player, I've played Dota a long time ago and play Mobile Legends. I don't have my own pc so I played on mobile. I started playing both to join in on friends. I started playing as ranged characters in both games but eventually I got used to playing tank because nobody picks tank when I play solo. I started playing LoL, I've played only a handful of games because I don't have my own computer to play it on. I enjoyed playing a Garen and got an S+ rating (Don't really know what that means), I didn't even know that he was a tank when I picked him. The thing is, I wanna try playing as other characters but I know I'm going to be pretty bad on how to use them.

[@CarlDeer]

Zytran L which is why there are 2 things you should do - always play atleast 3-5 games (or more, depends on the character) against bots to get a feeling for the character, understand their abilities and so on. The other one is muting every other player out there and to play without allchat (you can take it off in the settings). Because in League, you will have atleast 1 smurf every game, i.e, a player, that has played the game a lot and is leveling up a new account. They, most likely, will be toxic to new players, like yourself. And it sucks, I really hate, what the community has become, but it is what it is.

[@ZNotFound]

@@CarlDeer The main reason I can't practice against bots that often is I only play 2 to 3 games per session, and those sessions can have weeks to months in gap because I can't play at home. (Even longer now because of the current situation) Until I have my own pc, I don't think that's going to change. Maybe next time, I'll try a different hero.

[@Arcaryon]

@@dionrodman8829 When there are so many people on a team and noone feels the need to pick a support class, that's a comfortable way to carry a team from the back. It's also good when you are a subtle ego type of guy. Sure, your DPS is high enough to whipe out the whole enemy team under the right circumstances but you live and die because of my guiding hand. Support has a powerful place because if a game is good, it makes the difference between an ok team and a great team. It's the same thing that is fun about playing "commander" in all party based game modes. You are the back bone, the foundation; your buffs and heals are what keeps the frontline on the offensive until the foe is whipped out. And the thing is, once you have played a few rounds where you wanted to play offensively as a damage dealer and reckt everything only to slowly bleed out because your whole damn team had the same plan as you but not the understanding to back it up; you have to make a choice. Do I trust one of those good for nothing fools to play what's essentially the game changer OR simply pick my favorite support who can be offensively as well and allow my team to win. I think picking support to me is a reaction to avoid frustration because people tend to pick a class and then be hellbent only playing that class until the end of times and with noone every picking support, that leaves us with the only choice of either quit playing because the morons forgot to take any kind of items to prolong their sorry existence again or be the better man and just pick support which is also why I stopped playing most multiplayer titles alone. When you basically play the same character all the time, it becomes apparent very quickly that support is the most ungrateful positon in a team.

@@Doppelier I agree to some degree. But it's no surprise this person feels that way. Not only is it 100% possible to make a match for the rest of your team an unenjoyable 15 minutes to an HOUR, most will let you know when they're unhappy with you. The most common mentality is to take the game super seriously, not play around with. Many people who play casual matches just doesn't like the ranked system or they're fine-tuning their skills on something they're not as used to. I wish people would have more opportunities to try out things that are simply fun. The only gamemode that is forgiving enough to let you do this tends to be ARAM. But often times players just make a new account so they've got an excuse even if they make their team lose. Those are my advice, and to mute everyone... or simply don't play this game. But changing your own attitude towards yourself could surely help too. Everyone makes mistakes and as long as you're trying you shouldn't blame yourself so hard that you see yourself as a failure, just because you fail sometimes.

Although I can't speak from first hand experience, but I have a friend who is newer to video games than me, and I was there when he was plainly "new" at video games(even though that was 5 years ago). I played with him all of the games in this video, plus Siege and Apex, and I remember often hearing he doesn't want to play anymore because he's feeling like shit for "keeping us down", particularly in Rocket League and Apex. And we kept telling him we don't care - as long as he's trying his best. And it took repeating that probably at least twice a week for like three years, and now I don't remember the last time I heard him say something like that. On top of that, in the games we did keep playing regularly together, he is slowly but visibly catching up in skill level. You could argue cause vs effect here ofc, but I'd say he stopped blaming himself and THEN got good, rather than the other way around! :)

I’ve been playing MMOs for at least a decade now. I have never played a ranked game, let alone draft picks, just because it’s felt like such a foreign concept and I didn’t want to upset real people for messing up their gaming experience.

Something I'm glad you touched on was how other game modes aren't just stepping stones to the "real game". For many players, those modes are the destination. Every time a developer shares statistics for how much each game mode is played, I'm shocked by how few players even touch PvP. For example, it's only about 10 - 20% of RTS players.

That "did I let everyone down" really spoke to me. I've been recently new to a lot of online games, and hearing people get mad at you over voice chat has to be one of the worst feelings I've ever had while gaming. Even if I was absolutely loving the game and improving every session, remembering how upset I made others has made me put down many games and never pick them up again.

[@plushdragonteddy]

12:31 oh my gosh, hearing her extreme excitement at scoring a goal is SO wonderful and cathartic !! i've been playing games my whole life, but even then, it can be really hard getting into a new genre with an established player base, and it's so deeply rewarding to feel like you're getting the hang of it. i also worry about letting my team down (or at least i do when picking up new games), and i feel like there's an extra layer of removal from the community when you're not a man, as gaming isn't generally marketed to you. that makes multiplayer feel even more high stakes, like you're having to prove that you can contribute. despite gaming being like a first language to me, i've perhaps never related more to a gaming video than i did hearing your wife SCREAM in that one moment. if she ever decides to start her own channel, tell me where to find it! (i know it probably wouldn't interest her, but tbh i've had a lot of fun playing games on stream and having chat explain mechanics to me when i get confused.) all the love to you and the lady you live with

@@razbuten On the topic of game accessibility, something I like about Beat Saber which I don't see a lot of people talk about are the songs that let you play with only one saber instead of two. This may not be something most people think of when they see it, probably only seeing it as "just another game mode", but even if I'm not one of the following type of person, not everyone has two functioning hands, and I think it's cool that people like that still have a way to enjoy the game.

[@Orynae]

"Did I let everyone down?" is the feeling that kept me away from raids in FFXIV for so long. I would just do side quests, gathering, crafting, grinding for old relic weapons... One day I said "fuck it" and queued for a savage raid. I ran into some people I had actually met before in casual content, we talked on voice chat, and long story short they became some of my best friends ever, we made a static, and I lost many many many hours to raiding 😂

[@NathanWubs]

Glad you made friends, sadly that is not mostly the common story of things go. The common story is indeed what you were afraid off. First time a player doing savage in ff14 is going to be with a pug group. They have not prepared and die a lot, and then one of the pug guys go offs on them,and that is the end of savage for those people, and that is just sad.

[@xuan.1611]

So touched.....

[@mrbubblestea]

I feel the same way about doing anything in MMOs. I recently picked up WoW so I could play with my friend but then he immediately invited me to a guild and they were making plans to raid and he asked me if I could be down for that and I was scared. I barely even started and I was being put on the spot (I got a 110 token with my purchase). I've never raided, I never played instanced dungeons or anything with people. I always preferred to just play alone since I can usually handle myself and the only person I'd be letting down is myself. In fact the only raid I did with my friend - so far - I didn't even help. I was just there so they could get an achievement. I didn't know what to do besides just follow the leader and sit before certain events. I still play WoW on occasion but mostly solo PvE content as my Human Warror.

[@jijonbreaker]

The first thing you have to learn about FFXIV is that no matter how much you let somebody else down, everybody else is going to let you down even more.
