Let's do a little experiment about tryhards

So, to start, this isn't only about mineplex. a lot of servers, cough cough hypixel cough, has this, umm, Problem. This post is mainly focused on the poll, so i will briefly explay each answer
1- I am one of them
So, if you consider itself one of them, congratulations! your kind has ruined my games more times than i can count

2- I am fine with them
If you are fine with them, it is because you aren't a complete block disaster and can deal with them if you do this very well, consider picking the next opion

3- Tryhards? i eat those for breakfast
So, you can easily anihillate a tribe of people trying to ruin your game when you build a wool castle? i wish i could be you.

4- They are mildly annoying
So, you are basically 2 options above but you get tired from them, maybe they perish you, maybe they don't.

5- I hate them
Oh, so you are the average person who are repeately destroyed by them. welcome to the club..,[crying intensiv]

6- "Pit of fire ants"
Hey Hey, chill out,
You almost forgot the paper and lemons =]
7- [RAGE]
Finally, the one i actually wanna talk about. If you stop to think about it, whoever designed the game did not intended it to be rushed. otherwise, the time
wouldn't be so long and there would not be nether stars, bc the game would be so quick, nobody would need that. So, it's indisputable that the game was not designed that way. So yeah, you are right. try to explain THAT slowbusters!
8- What are tryhards?
[i should have started by this one]
So, tryharders are basically the people who try to commit speedrun on CW, most of the times, not even trying the slow game. there are three main types of rushers, D R E A Ms, Normals and cheaters. The D R E A Ms are people who saw the dream channel, thought "OH, green man commits fastness, i wanna try!"... they cant even leave the base alone bc they always fail the speedbridge. Normals are the ones that play 25h a day and perish almost everyone who they cross paths with. Hackers are [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], even tho they are [REDACTED] i can [REDACTED] why they [REDACTED][REDACTED]

So, that's it, put in the comments your thoughts about whether or not they are playing right. Ciao!

 

Tryhards wouldn't be an issue if dodging didn't exist and cake wars had more players

 

Just quit cw

Now that Mineplex has a dwindling playerbase, every lobby has a party :( Hopefully Mineplex can get more players tho so this won't be as much of an issue

 

you play mineplex.
what did u think posting this is going to do lol

 

everytime this kid posts its all about tryhards and how they're ruining his experience. just don't play this server. i quit mineplex and i've never felt better mate

 

I'm considered a Tryhard, I like trying hard. It's what earns me shards, and xp.

 

Does using esp help you feel superior over players?

 

i mostly get called names that would get me banned if i told them lol

 

nathan doesn't cheat LOOOL

 

Lots of people here denying Mineplex's huge tryhard problem. I'd say it's one of the major factors contributing to the slow death of the server. New players such as the OP won't want to play Mineplex again if they keep getting put in lobbies with full parties of level 100s.

There's no real way to fight this unless Mineplex gains more players. I've said this before, but this happens every time a game/server goes stale. Only the people who have sunk the most time into it will continue playing consistently, which is why you get a such an exaggerated ratio between tryhards and casual (dare I say, bot) players.

 

just go to a different server oml not that hard.

 

Who does ESP?

This isn't at all a good thing. The problem with games like CW and Champs especially is due to "not being designed for new players" new players can't play the game and the game slowly dwindles in popularity. Games need to be designed with new players in mind so that they're able to grow to a sustainable level.

This is exactly what a lot of people are doing, leading to the downfall of the server. While the lack of a solution to this problem isn't the most helpful thread it's also a poll so.

In terms of solutions, tutorials for games like clans, DOM, and CTF are needed to teach new players an almost completely new type of combat, and for games like CW (or any other pvp game really) new players could be driven to quit the game less if they didn't get annihilated every time. My possible idea to implement this is to 1. add a more balanced team making system so that matches without parties can be relatively balanced and 2. further balance teams by granting slight buffs to newer/less skilled players (this would be determined by a ratio stat like KDR or Wins to losses to prevent or at least limit smurfing).

 

In my opinion, tryhards (people who play the game to win), do not make it fun for casual players, such as myself. I play the game to have fun and complete missions, and if I win or lose, I don't care. But what is frustrating is when there are way too many people who can just stomp any kind of opposition and as a result make the game generally not very fun to play. Matchmaking based off a kind of win ratio also makes sense.
