The term sweaty players came from some kid who clearly couldn't compete with higher skilled players. So to make himself feel better he started using a term to refer to people who were better than him. Rather than striving to get better he'd rather those players be envied and looked at negatively. Why has the younger generation become such whiny emotional weak people. There once was a time everyone fed off their natural competitive nature and you earned everything. Nothing was handed to you. You kids are thinking you're entitled to things you did not earn because of how you were raised. I'm sorry to say but your entitled to nothing without earning it. "Sweaty" players strive for success and put time in to be as good as they are at the game. "Sweaty" players still have fun playing just as some of you. I have fun winning just like every competitive player does. I also can enjoy a came I lose bc it's against a good team and is very heated and exciting. Don't hate on the people in the community that care about winning and try when they play. Just because you can't compete with us doesn't mean you try to bring us down. How about you spend your time practicing and get better so that you can compete with us. If you don't want to do that then why waste time complaining about nerfing and how things are unfair? You obviously care about the game. There are several comments below proving my point that people do use sweaty in a negative manner. Apparently if you are a "sweaty" you throw temper tantrums and break everything if you lose. I wouldn't have an issue with the term if it was actually intended to be a compliment. It is okay for people to want to be above average and excel at everything they do including a video game. That doesn't make them any less of a person. So saying you'd rather focus on your grades and "sweaty" players don't is a very invalid argument. I carry just under a 4.0 gpa in college with one semester left. I work full time as a manager while still going to school full time. I don't no life the game and spend hours upon hours grinding away. Being a "sweaty" player doesn't mean you have no life and every other absurd status that goes along with it. About the work ethic.....Correct me if I'm wrong, but work ethic entails how hard and how much effort you put into something regardless if it is your job, a sport, a relationship, or working out..... Everyone of those your intent is to succeed and perform great. So yes you can have work ethic in video game and there is nothing wrong with wanting to win and be better than the week before. About the younger generation... you see it everywhere about the concerns and issues that are coming from high schools. The reason I bring up the younger generation is because they make up quite a large portion of the community. Updated to reword since some people are missing the point
