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]
