What constitutes a sweaty tryhard?

I've seen many posts about "sweaty tryhards". But how do you spot one in the wild? What are their behaviours, characteristics, weapons of choice, eating and mating habits? I think I saw one on shores of time blinking around the map, crouching with a shotgun and sniping zone b from the back of the map. I can't be sure.....

    It's a term used by those who can't admit they were beat or the other team was better than them so they result to calling them 'sweaty tryhards' and not because they lacked the skill to win in that game [spoiler]thats just my opinion though[/spoiler]

  • A sweaty player will do whatever is needed to not die, even if that means shade stepping from one side of the map to the next. A sweaty plAyer will use the qttk weapons, and the best over all classes. A sweaty player will rarely stray from the pack, as sticking with teammates guarantees a lot of engagement wins as opposed to running Rambo. A sweaty player rarely misses his snipes, he has perfected sniping down to a science. A sweaty player cannot except defeat and will literally try so hard you would think someone had a gun to their head saying if you lose , pop goes the weasel. A sweaty player cares about things called elo, destiny tracker, kd, and usually are found in the top destiny streamer channels on twitch. A sweaty player plays sweats lol. A sweaty player will play more then you, practice more then you, and get better then you because they actually care about this made up universe or they are just extremely competitive people. I can go on.

    People who only use the "meta" weapons and put winning above all else. A lot of us are just having fun. The sweaties are just out to get good scores and win. When you the two together, it becomes really annoying. You can often spot them in IB. Quite often, a 6-person fireteam will be crushing a team of randoms and won't let up even a little bit. They'll start tea-bagging and using supers on individuals just to rub it in their faces. Those are the guys everybody hates.

  • To me a sweaty tryhard is (and this is just an example) when a team in IB control feels the need to cap all three controls.

    • In this forums anyone that is better than you is a sweaty try hard.

      People who use cheap/unbalanced tactics to win at all costs. Only using "meta" weapons or weapons that are unbalanced. Firebolt spam, over usage of shadestep, twilight garrison spam. Using a special weapon as a primary with weapons like 1kys, conspiracy theory, party crasher. Literally anyone who spends most of the game using body snipes and then switching to a primary to finish the kill (death of gun battles right here). Technically there's nothing wrong with what they are doing but it does more or less ruin the fun aspect of the game. Eating habits likely include a steady diet of Doritos and Mountain Dew possibly through an IV so they don't have to take their hands off the controller. Mating habits are non existent because both hands are occupied by controller and wins must be accumulated to validate existence.

      • A sweaty try hard usually uses the thorn, or other good weapons like a Hawksaw, Eyasluna, etc. They also have some clan name that consists of a single word, like Ignitus or Persecute or Paradox. ( Some silly clan name that makes them look sophisticated.) Also, a sweaty try hard usually just goes for the most kills, instead of capturing zones to help their teammates. These are just some of the aspects that I notice. Also, it's not bad what they are doing. It's just how they want to play.

          • A sweaty tryhard will go through any measures to try to kill you at every encounter, through any tactic, no matter how cheap or shameful. Theyre usually fire bolt wielding warlocks imo.
