Do red bar streamers deserve respect?
TL;DR:
1. “Streamer” and lag team member are consistently red bar
2. “Streamer” disrespects his opponents.
3. “Streamer” thinks he rekt, but is using lag armor to shield his team.
4. OP is reducing his salt levels through sharing with the community.
5. Does a red bar “streamer” deserve respect?
Long version
I ran into an interesting situation with a “streamer” this weekend. Our team of six randoms matched against the streamer’s six person fire team. No big deal, let’s go!
After my first kill, two snipers were standing on a platform side by side completely without fear and not taking any damage at all. After my fourth death and the kill feed going crazy, I noticed that two of the six people on the other side had been red barring since the start of the match. I don’t quit matches often, but this was going to be a slog. I was getting shot through walls and insta-killed. Off to orbit to find a fair fight.
I had zero idea this was a streamer at the time (never heard of him), but saw his clan tag / twitch message when I checked the roster after the match. I messaged him about how I was unimpressed with his connection quality.
Next day I decided to see if he happened to have a recording of the stream. Why yes, yes he did.
- Five hours of streaming, consistently red bar every match. Yay, skillz. People pay him to watch him lag kill?
- Nine people dropped in and out of my side during my match. Only one person went positive on my side, with a 1.0 kd and 3 three kills. Four people had zero kills, and one of these had 11 deaths.
- “Streamer” jokes that top scorer on the team needs to step it up because he got killed twice.
- Lots of trash talk and insults, calling his opponents nerds, kids and worse. Fine, but according to your twitch profile you’re younger than me (kid). :-)
- His next match went the same way. The other team kept bailing while getting destroyed and unable to fight back. You can see his opponents aiming off target when he engages.
It was truly cringe-worthy listening to him ego-stroke and not get what was going on.
So… Does a “streamer” who consistently red bars deserve respect?
I bet you can guess what I think. :-)
The streamer's name is:
[spoiler]Nope, not telling. No free advertising, and no name and shame here folks. Move along.[/spoiler]

3 RepliesI stream b/c I am a youtuber and it's fun and I have a community and occasionally I am yellow bar but chill dude. It's not my fault I'm yellow bar. CHILL.

No PvP streamer on this game deserves respect. Shit netcode on P2P connections + long periods of absolutely retarded balancing issues = not a legitimate "competitive game"
-
People think they are God like when they are red bar! And some people do it on purpose! Or they share network with everyone in their household while they play! Knowing it is going to lag them out! Yes it have something to do with Bungie server, p2p, but the main problem is us players just don't give a -blam!- about others experience
-
2 RepliesNo, I don't even understand why people would pay/donate to watch someone else play!

Streaming is like an automatic advantage. -blam!-s with the upload bandwidth

3 RepliesEdited by dumb titan: 6/22/2016 4:33:06 PMNo, I would of reported him..but in all fairness, 75% of people I play with either scarab or flawless emblems are redbar..I make it my personal duty to write down their gt. And have every single person on my friends list report them.

Edited by jdawg23x: 6/24/2016 4:28:26 PMI ran into one these dudes the other day playing rift. Their team had 2 red bars and were teleporting, and not registering damage. I was like damn wtf.. so I clicked on one the guys profiles and what do you know? He had a link to his damn twitch channel. I made it my duty to kill him and bag him every time. Guy got so pissed he messaged me calling me a fag lol. I screen shot it and went about my day. Point is if you don't have the bandwidth to stream, don't. It ruins others experience not to mention everybody and their damn mom's stream. It's getting old. ✌

Why is this a question? 🤔

Lol no

Edited by Dookie no Jutsu: 6/22/2016 10:51:00 PMWell, I think I know what match you are talking about and I will have to take a look at this turd to be sure. However, the answer to your question is no, especially if that person knows what is going on with his connection. Edit: Found the guardian in question and he will remain nameless. I could not find that specific match on stream though. This is an excellent post if you want my opinion. Well done

3 RepliesI don't get why everyone is so attached on attacking red bars only. Now hear me out for a sec. Yes some are red baring and you notice him not taking dmg or zig zagging and teleporting all over. But I have a question for you, have you seen a green bar that's invincible? Yes you read that correctly....it's not just the red bars, I have encountered many greens that end up killing me someone how with 1 shot, guess he was lagging so bad didn't see him shooting at me for a bit. then when I'm firing back he doesn't die but runs away and mid air jump he falls and dies and says I killed him after I spawned from dying by that person. It's bungies servers and how they added all this sbmm and then cbmm then mixing it, all this probably screwed the servers as well. If anyone should be getting a ban or hate it's bungie just as much as those red and green bars that are lagging
-
Please report them to Bungie. They should be banned from the crucible until they can resolve their connection issues.

Edited by Urban Athem : 6/23/2016 1:41:34 AMI'd like to know his name so I can blacklist him. But I get the name and shame fear and reluctance to advertise for him. Just goes to show how badly gamers have become. I was born in the late 80's, been playing games my whole life and I've definitely noticed a degenerative trend as newer (younger gamers) have come into the mix. It's just said, maybe some company will come up with a way to segregate amongst age groups. I feel their is a real niche in the gaming Market for something like that.

No they deserve a ban

Laggers who end up killing you... but finish you off with the most laggest glitchest weirdest tbag.... that ish irks me lmao

1 ReplyWhy would I respect anyone that does nothing but play video games all day? The only thing more pathetic than someone that plays video games all day, is someone that watches others play video games all day.
