So I've been playing for more than 1500 games now, got my Yamato, learned what to do and not to do and tried playing well. But the chat has just gotten more and more abusive over time. I almost feel the need to run a chat hiding mod just to avoid getting annoyed and angry by other people venting their frustrations by accusing others of camping, laziness, lacking ability and so on. Of course you start doubting your own abilities sometimes, In one situation i'm accused of being a camper for defending the base in a bb in standard mode, if it was domination that would make more sense. I play primarily BB's, so i'm aware of the "camping max range bb" frustrations of other players, and the balance is hard to strike sometimes. If you go in ahead of your team you get targeted and shot to pieces in the first minute if you stay behind the team you're a camper if you go with the team and make sure to keep the same tempo, then you're in a lemming train of noobs I got so frustrated the last game at someone being an insufferable whiner at the game not going his way. When the usual angry accusations and insults started flying and some landed on me, then it just became a chat flamewar, I'm to easily riled up and have a hard time to just ignore them. What advice have you others got for situations like these?, besides trying even harder to ignore them. I don't want to blanket-ignore all criticism done in an angry tone, then i might miss lessons or learn more meta-game, etc.

Thank you for the suggestion, Haven't seen that channel, always eager to learn more. I've been trying to use the dynamic crosshair, to count how many lines they cross per second, then adjust according to shell travel time, successrates vary.. Surviving is hard with a Brawler build yamato.. it's like a neon sign saying "kill me". As i said, i'm not upset at getting complaints in general. Sometimes they are with a very angry tone, and 75% is just blaming someone, but it makes it hard to listen to the 25% that is legit criticism. If someone gives me useful advice, while calling my mother things, i'm likely to ignore the advice.

Oh right!. I'd forgotten that, That helps a lot when it's someone going on and on. It's a shame that you have to get annoyed to the point where that is a neccessary step to avoid further aggrevation.
