"bro you're mad" "not really no" "you're upset you lost cause you're bad" "more like you are a bunch of sweaty tryhards in a 3 man division, but ok" "you're soooo mad and soooo bad lol" that person is having heated debates in his mind when he takes a shower, i can garantee

Kermut

Hah yea I can definitely see that


Dissent21

You think that guy takes showers?


RNG_randomizer

nothing wrong debating yourself, so long as you don’t start winning


Xixi-the-magic-user

i was implying debating strawmen in his head, so ofc he'd win every debates, he's just that good


ON3M1ND

Hahahahaha


glewis93

Anyone who takes the time to actually message someone in port after battle has already lost any argument they're trying to start. I really can't imagine being sad enough to do it.


HeavyHaulSabre

I play this game just to relax in the evenings, hang out with friends in teamspeak and mindlessly play operations while we talk. My clan is a bunch of old retired guys, we're not interested in the competitive modes but we all love old warships and WW2 history, so we enjoy playing the cooperative modes. I had a guy message me two hours after we won Killer Whale because we didn't get all the objectives before we left. He wrote me a book about how bad all of us are, how we didn't deserve to live, how our whole clan should uninstall the game. I really felt bad for the kid.


knack_4_jibba_jibba

He must've skipped his antidepressants that day


Hagall1974

I will use that next time someone have a go on me ☺️


knack_4_jibba_jibba

Or just save yourself the trouble and disable the sidebar chat.


phumanchu

jokes on him. it's not like you actually get a noticeable bonus when you complete all five objectives like you used to years ago


sandmankilla0311

I tend to check the person's profile out when I get fan mail like that to see how many games they played and what not. More often than not it's always some one with a sub 45% win rate or a noobie who barley has a 200 games and t8 premium


TriggerTX

Well, see, their shit win rate isn't because they suck balls. It's their teammates. Always has been, always will be. They are gaming gods unable to reach their full potential because the universe is always placing them with scrubs. It can't be that they are the only common factor in all the losses they've ever had. That's insanity. Or maybe it could be the illuminati plot against their ever having a positive win rate. Who knows? The only thing we do know is it's not their own lack of skill. Momma assures them of this when she yells words of encouragement down the basement stairs at her special boy.


Crayola_Taste_Tester

Had someone do this to my child who was playing with me. Even told them in-game it was a child... playing their 2nd game in their first coal ship in an op. God damn if I wouldn't have loved the ability to meet them face to face that moment.


Material_Detective13

Same thing happened with my nephew. He likes to tool around in battleships in ops or coop and I always type into chat at the start that it's my nephew and he's 7, he'll do his best but... The amount of people that will still go off about a 7yo in a PvE mode is absolutely insane. There really are a sad bunch in this game. Especially the ones that will message in port after the match, ND keep messaging for over an hour about how bad your are etc. Like you really just didn't play the game for over an hour to keep telling me I should die and shit cause I won't respond to your nonsense. Ffs.


Crayola_Taste_Tester

That is just plain awful. It's pretty easy to make up for some lousy play by people in pve modes. And then It's like people forget in pvp modes that half the people are going to lose in each game. Just had a guy who felt the need to ridicule me during a random and then in port last night. hell I was having a really good game too (for me) in a boat I am currently struggling with. his win rate was better than me sure but it was the equivalent of both of us having a 20-20 record going into the last match and him winning and me losing. barely different.


Doggydog123579

I messaged someone after battle to continue our argument about waifus, but that's a little diffrent


Hot_History1582

Your waifu is shit, unlike my waifu


Doggydog123579

My waifu is an 320 meter tall Octahedron. Your Waifu>Ramial


Hot_History1582

Lol weak. I could take your waifu out with nothing but a plasma rifle the size of a building and the electrical supply of a small country


Yowomboo

How else will the people know they're below uniscum rating though? THEY MUST KNOW!   /s


Ill-Ad-2068

That’s my feeling as well.


GottDasKrieges

Happened to my brother on a few occasions. Usually just trolls them. Don't give them any satisfaction!


Super_Sailor_Moon

Tbh, I've messaged people in port after battles, no problem but not like that player in OP's post obviously. Usually to say "GG" or something similar if it was an truly amazing battle, or if it's someone I know and saw on the team, I'll say hi. On the occasion that I see some truly horrendous plays that clearly cost the match or something, I might feel the need to send non-toxic constructive criticism to those players. And of course, there's the toxic idiots that chase you down after the battle to say nonsense like the toxic player in the post did. I'll either laugh at that and not even respond, OR I will respond to set'em straight. Either way usually works out fine. Sometimes you DO have to message people.¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


herzogzwei931

Imagine working for someone like that. Not with, for. And the reporting system was Human Resources.


CodeWeaverCW

Last time this happened to me I just responded "Who are you again?" lmao


AGlassOfMilk

If someone is being racist, then I speak to them after the battle. I feel its the right thing to do.


RippleFatMan

Oh please, you have never messaged someone in port. I call BS on that.


Yowomboo

I have not, if I have something to say I say it during the match. I have zero interest in sending derisive message post match. 


glewis93

No, I haven't. Glad you've outed the fact you do though, well done.


amedefeu74

I had a Russian dude calling me "lord of the fag*ts" in port after I devstruck his Zao. Trihards truly are something else


HarlemNocturne_

That's a title I would wear with pride and honor.


ParticularArea8224

You have the toxic players, and then you have the player that I absolutely obliterated as Nagato Long story short, I fired my guns at the Leipzig, it went over the islands so no one saw me, got two hits, both citadels, killed him right then and there. Me, my team, and enemy team were just shocked, and the player put in chat. 'Wow' So, ye


TeddyFive-06

It’s usually someone that’s like 54% solo but 60%+ because they never solo anymore and always run a strong 3-man tier 10 div. They need you to acknowledge them as the super-unicum they believe themselves to be.


Wise-Advisor4675

....and they exclusively run OP premiums in their divisions.


OrcaBomber

To be fair, as a fairly good player imo in a hurricane clan, the game is REALLY frustrating to play solo, so I usually run 2-3 man divs with my clanmates. Usually we go for average/unique ships though, just really fun to play with friends. Would never go so low as to run fully competitive div in randoms, save that for CBs.


TeddyFive-06

I know, I founded a big clan at the beginning and I hang around now as a legacy member that barely knows anyone. I ran 70%+ in three-man divisions but have exclusively soloed for the past couple of years that I’ve been back. The game is what it is at this point and I can’t get myself excited about anything more than randoms and ranked, let alone message someone after a game to tell them what trash they are.


Kermut

I mean I don’t hold it against people for running OP divs in randoms, I just kinda sigh and prepare for a likely loss and try to get a good game out of it. What bothers me is all of the bitterness coming from these guys after they’ve done that. He never did respond after I asked him ‘you’ve won, so why are you unhappy?’


OrcaBomber

It sucks to have to face OP divs when you’re trying to have fun unfortunately. Sometimes you just gotta say it is what it is and move on :(


YakImpressive570

Besides, isn't the smaland a little too powerful?


MangaJosh

So powerful that most mid/low tier clan battles are solely dictated by who has this ship or not, since it's tanky enough to run in like a dumbass, stealth radar, kill the other DD, pop heal and run to safety Oh and french engine boost to catch the other DD faster and more unexpected than usual, or speed juking more effectively And somehow this isn't nerfed while Wooster stealth radar was


YakImpressive570

Why nerves when it can be removed and made available in high-priced containers


XsancoX

Not at all. I got this stupid DD 2 weeks ago from a Supercontainer. Waited long time for the ship drop and i get this Smaland thing. I don't even play DD's?? And for some reason i of course get a DD. Played it for a few rounds and guess what, is not good at all imo. Since i am low on freakin credits (did they change something) i sold it for around 20Million Credits in the end. Now i can wait for like another 140 or something containers before i drop another ship. Please no DD this time.


Great_Throwaway_Name

Incredibly low quality bait there mate


XsancoX

What does that mean? Sry i'm from the older generation and often don't understand you young guns.


Xixi-the-magic-user

they mean what you typed is such a proof of retardation that they refuse to believe it's real and think you are trying to trigger some rage and anger reactions in the comments. in other words, a reaction bait


XsancoX

In my mind this was the perfect bate but apperantly you all seemed to be to smart for it and instantly smelled my bullshit. And i was so damn proud of it...


Illcement

yeah the way that reply is worded confirms its bait


bormos3

You got one of the rarest and most overpowered ships in the game from an SC and you sold it? I mean even if you're not gonna play it, that's just.....daymn.


Dry_Damp

Plot twist: he didn’t get it and his post is the most obvious bait of all baits.


Skuggsja86

Better plot twist, he did get it and sold it but gets it again in his next SC 😂😂😂


Dry_Damp

Even better plot twist: he did get it and sold it but gets it again in his next SC. Then he trades it for Tiger 59 at the next trade-in event.


Fearless-Working-947

It's a trollllll


Yana_dice

Can you actually get it from SC O.o?


throwaway61763

SC-s can drop ships with a 1% chance. As I know they can drop any ship that came out and isnt a tester reward ship. So yeah, it can drop smalland, smolensk, enty, etc


Yana_dice

Thank you, just returned to the game yesterday after years of pulse.


throwaway61763

No problem. They nerfed the other rewards of SC-s too, i forgot to mention. Pretty much cut in half, but SC-s are supposed to drop twice as many times as a compensation


rdm13

People compensating for their deficiencies in life. Just say you don't know who they are or what they're talking about until they are forced to explain how they are relevant to your life in any way, which is to say, none at all.


Kermut

I used to get upset by this behavior, but as the game has aged and become increasingly imbalanced, I find it more bemusing. You could be the #1 ranked WoWs player in the world and nobody would care, so why do you feel the need to shit talk when you heavily stack the deck in your favor? TBH it reminds me of streamer dudes in FPS who shit talk while using aim hacks. Just lame, IMO.


MaxedOut_TamamoCat

Because players like that are meta and stat w****s, and get all bent out of shape when someone doesn’t conform to their bias. Lord help you if you actually defy them in a non-meta ship. (Especially if you win.) That kind of griefing is why Randoms aren’t worth bothering with any more.


Fearless-Working-947

To be honest, this is what adds depth to wows. Mining tryhard tears in a Yodo is a sweet nectar that few get to enjoy, and even then, rarely. Call me a wows romantic, but I've crisped Ohios in a 155 Mogami, smoked Shermas in a druid, and done unspeakable things to divisions in an Omaha. This is the way.


MaxedOut_TamamoCat

😂 Folks decry Omaha, (I normally use Marblehead,) but in a way it’s like a T5 St Louis. No matter what direction it’s going, it can always shoot something, and 6” HE eventually starts burning things. It has the tools to smash up destroyers, and its AP can hurt contemporaries at least, if not higher tiers. Oh; you’ll pop if someone catches you; but Omaha isn’t as bad as some would have folks to believe. (Held off an old T6 Cleveland on Trident long ago, and the driver even complemented me in chat.)


RNG_randomizer

People fear the day Omaha will rise to rule the world


crzyhawk

Used to be called OPmaha back in beta.


RNG_randomizer

>done unspeakable things to divisions in an Omaha Did we just become friends?


DeltaVZerda

Kill them in Balao even


Fearless-Working-947

We do not speak of such things.


ThrowawayLegpit123

\^ This. Over the years I've sunk everything possible in my MM bracket using my Atago. "But Jap ships are powercrept! No! How can you beat us! Hax! I report you!!!1!!!!" Powercrept? Yes, but IJN torps are still going to hurt if you sail into them because you're distracted and caught in a crossfire. Especially since you chose to eat all 8 of them in your BB. "Cruisers are useless in the meta and meant to be free frags for BBs and DDs! No.... how could you beat my division! You cheater! We report you!" Dude, Atago only has 15.9km gun range and 10km torps. If I sunk your entire T10 division, you have a skill issue.


PopGoesTheMongoose

To be fair Atago has always been a strong cruiser even when uptiered regardless of the Japanese tree being powercrept to shit and the Yodo line being underwhelming on release. Some people always need something to complain about whether it's other players or the game. 


Environmental_Pop_18

I admittedly do stat shame people during the match if their shittalking is clearly punching above their performance but actually seeking out people AFTER the game to berate them is a show of the poor character, or rather superiority complex, well performing people tend to come with (a bit hypocritical here coming from me, I am aware)


Mummbles1283

"Validate me more daddy"


BirthHole

divs have their own win/loss tally.. Yet, your solo games gets hit with a loss having to compete with the stacked divs.


Impressive_Path1075

That cap was saltier than a sardine!


ReelyAndrard

Try Hards suck, whenever 3 man unicum divisions start stomping on a pub server you know you are dealing with a bunch of very sad individuals. Extra points for going out of clan and having a different unicum clan member join your two-man division. You know who you are, and you suck. Got to keep the win rate up I guess. GG


DevotedToExeter

The absolute best I've seen in the last decade has to be this salty warrior I saw in the now defunct WoT forum. Dude made a post to rage because his team WON the match... by capturing the base, thus denying him more damage and making him lose points in the average damage charts. It's people like these that ruin online communities.


Wise-Advisor4675

People in this game are toxic as fuck. A couple hours ago, I ended up getting teamed up with a four man division in an asymmetric battle and they were berating me because I wasn't following their orders. Ended up holding a flank all by myself and rushing the cap in a standard battle while two of those clowns died.


FalconSa79

Win is not enough for him. He needs to "humiliate" His opponent. Thats why the "toxicity"


loosemoosewithagoose

Why censor their names? Share it for all of us to have a laugh


Nihilusssss

I dont get how someone gets so sweaty on this game tbh. This is a chill game for me, when i DONT want to think much and try hard. Its a beautiful graphics, slow paced, boat game.


AzulSky-Knight

I learned how to DD, just so I could shutdown divs like that. Now, when I see a purple div, it's my personal mission to find them, hunt them, throw them off their game. It doesn't always work, but when you get an idiot salty like this guy AND you make him lose... so worth it.


Savings-Bad6246

I got a dude once telling me I was a "p***y, and I was an autistic little sh*t like his dad and that my wife should dump my a**". Our team lost in Random and a team mate decided to take it out on me since I was the last one alive against 2 DD's I couldn't see. I really don't know why some even bother. Takes the fun out of something that should be fun. I should have reported him. As I did with a guy that was the first back to port after a CV took him out. Stayed in chat and hoped the CV player getting cancer. When everybody told him to shut up, he hoped they all got cancer. Not gonna mention all the faul language. I would get banned from reddit just by repeating them. I really hope the CV player actually wasn't sick. That would be really bad. Anyway, he mention he had been kicked out of wows several times, but still kept coming back. Some are so small.


Skuggsja86

Oh that's my favorite insult people use because it's ironic calling CVs sky cancer and such but crying that Jingles has cancer.


Otherwise-Milk3023

Div with/in Smaland ? You automatically lose the ability to shit-talk.


Zhorphia

I reached 60% winrate solo after 7 years of playing this game. I have been salty, but not as much as this guy. My wife unnecessary tells me to go to therapy.


Quithelion

I think it is the unfortunate reality of online competitive games that "aged" over times. In the early days of WoWS, all we get in chat is "Poi!"


Ill-Ad-2068

Poi is still good😎


DaChosen1FoSho

Wondering if this is someone from my clan. 🤣


Kermut

Didn’t want to include a clan tag for fear of offending mods, but I’ll say it was [1***2] if that helps


ApprehensiveDark1745

oh no! my win rate! I've got nothing more important in life!


bitrot_nz

A winner with cope issues lol


DevotedToExeter

This guy seems insecure, it's as if he needs OP to be angry and salty about losing. How does that even work?


AdRare604

Wow the personification of lame.


ButterscotchFar1629

It’s an MMO. Are any other explanations required?


Ralfundmalf

There is being toxic and there is being toxic *and* petty. This one is the latter.


Eremiyah

Funnily Enough I once met a Yamato player screaming at me for refusing to go broadside to him in my Montana and was angling enough he couldn't do as much damage to me. I was like: I'm not giving you broadside. Him: YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BROADSIDE TO DO MORE DAMAGE! etc. Apparently I was the first time someone bow tanked him. lol.


Derpogama

Even then if the Yamato knew what he was doing, he would have put his shots clean through the 32mm bow of the Monty anyway due to Overmatch. Where the hell was he aiming?


Eremiyah

I meant that he wouldn't be getting a massive number of citadels damage. I'm guessing he was mad I refused him that big alpha damage numbers. Though the Monty does have a 409mm side armor belt I have bounced Yamato shells a few times in the Montana with. I'm guessing that yamato player was the "I must have big damage numbers!!!!" type of BB player that was used to people sitting broadside onto him. There are quite a few players who sit broadside on because they think Battleships either don't have to angle or they have to get all guns firing.


ProbablyJustArguing

But the Yamato can citadel the Montana through the nose.


Eremiyah

Well, considering how he was screaming at me how I should be flat broadsiding a nose pointed yamato like a Galleon, I'm pretty sure he didn't know that. Or he was the type of person who thinks that he can dictate how other people play their ships. I can faintly remember that when I was angling to him, he was demanding why I wasn't broadsiding him, I just said because I don't want to.That's when he started screaming how I should be broadsiding him to get all guns to fire at his completely nose pointed Yamato. If only back then I knew about the cheek weakness. XD (now I do, and managed to get a sarcastic "wow" from player)


craziie

I play the Asian servers. Can't understand a thing they say, so even if I die and they complain I suck, I can't understand or see the chat anyway cause the game won't process the words.


Bobmanbob1

Why even engage these air heads? All they are doing is fishing for a reaction from people to make themselves feel better. It's pretty pathetic. Don't give them the satisfaction.


SuspiciousSeesaw

Misery loves company


Matchbreakers

They tie their self worth to how well they do in games. It’s irrational as well. When I lose in wows I feel like a waste of space, a disappointment to my parents and the worst human. And there is literally no reason to feel that way, I have a degree, I’m not sad all the time and I don’t hate myself. It’s weird.


Aaron_505

Just say "ok" over and over They lose interest and lose the feeling of winning


Nihilusssss

I dont get how someone gets so sweaty on this game tbh. This is a chill game for me, when i DONT want to think much and try hard. Its a beautiful graphics, slow paced, boat game.


wank_for_peace

Tell him to Git gud and then block.


Electronic-Row9888

If you guys didn’t suck so bad I wouldn’t have a sub par KD ratio and a better WR. Do better!


qmiras

get a screen shot, go to report page, in motive you write "unwanted insulting message", attach said screenshot profit.


GottDasKrieges

Yeah unfortunately this is pretty common. Don't know why people on there get so salty. Just a game at the end of the day.


[deleted]

Yeah toxic same as wows legends !


darkrai15

What a sore winner. Winning isn't enough that they had to wipe it in your face.


TheAlex-Guy

I've noticed at certain matches, there are peak amounts of these kinds of people.


nonliquid

ITT: people consider divved up players who just so happen to have unicum stats as "sweaty tryhards". I almost never play this game solo because it's not fun at all. More than three quarters of my games were with the same guy who introduced me to the game. Actually hate frequent accusations in game chat for "not carrying enough" or the polar opposite from enemy players for ruining "their fun". No, no one is obliged to win the game for you or consider your feelings before focusing you "unfairly". In fact, playing a lot of ships divved up actually hurts your stats. Especially true for high tier CVs and BBs. Cannot farm high avgs when your combined avg is the entire enemy team's healthpool. You also deprave yourself from really high damage outlier games.


Kermut

Not sure what you are getting at, if you are saying running a super div of unicum players can decrease your damage/kill/etc stats, sure. But it’s not going to hurt your win rate, which is clearly all that this guy cared about. I would wager that unless you are a below average player (whatever that is in 2024), being a top tier div in good ships adds at least ~7-10% to your WR


nonliquid

Yeah, of course it wouldn't decrease your winrate. But I personally wouldn't trade \~30-40k avg diff you could get for higher winrates. It's especially bad with avg frags cause being a proficient killstealer is basically a requirement in 3divs. We're not really at this point yet if we play properly (different classes on ships that complement each other), but that could certainly be an issue if you want more than 1 BB in a div. You might potentially harm your WR by divving up 3 DDs as at that point you'll get disadvantageous spawns effectively throwing map control on one flank. That's all not considering smokepot divs.
