I would just beat him in rumble, in the game I was already playing with my friend when he joined. Asking him to 1v1 imo, is petty and childish. But you sir, are free to do what you want. My opinion does not matter. You clearly challenged him to a 1v1 to prove you were better than him. Once you beat him once by a blowout, no need to throw more salt in the wound and let him keep losing and losing and losing. What did this do for you? You already knew you were better. At this point, you were trying to embarrass a child and "teach him a lesson". It was unnecessary.

Seems perfectly reasonable to call out someone for talking shit. Maybe it's a tiny bit immature by we're talking about playing a video game here.

You should have started the last match in the lead, let him almost catch up, and then finish it. This way, he still loses 3 games, but at least he felt that he had some sort of chance or that he could even try. He wouldnt speak of beating you again, and maybe will try to get better Win/win

You don't indicate your age. You let a youngster wind you up, and you challenged him/her to a duel. You stomped him/her...continuously. You gave him/her no way to back out with dignity. Your k/d suggests it was a 'no contest' match...yet you persisted to grind this kinderguardian's face (dignity, self-esteem) into the mud. You ask, "what would you have done?" Well, if it was me, and a child was being both rude and obnoxious - in a team setting, they get 2 advisories to behave or modify their disagreeable behaviour...on the third strike - they're out! It works every time. And, in my experience of doling out such awards (several times during TTK raid / challenges) within a minute, I typically receive a msg from said creature to apologise...and, up till now, they proved sincere. One never knows the home story of these creatures...maybe their behaviour/ actions are a result of that?! Err on the side of caution...and give them the benefit of the doubt - again, based on the 3-Strike Rule. One can't be fairer than that! 🤔 I approached it as a training exercise - for them, and for me, too. They are trainee Guardians, after all... Now, if I were you, here's what I would do as a follow-up... Send a conciliatory msg to the youngster, and suggest a friendly rematch...each can bring a buddy along - a 'Second', if you will; your buddy plays on his/her side, and his/her buddy plays on your side. Choose pistols or a preferred weapon type only, and play the first to 3 wins. Fun will ensue. Honour will be restored - all round. New friendships might emerge! Or, if it doesn't work out, at least you will have tried to help restore a bit of harmony to the Destiny Universe. And you never know...you just might help a youngling in need of a bit of leadership / guidance. And you might learn something too! Carpe diem! 👍

Good thing you stopped playing before he had Russia hack you so he could "win in a landslide"

Going easy on someone will never help them improve.

Life's to short for this crap

Should you have lost? You both should go play a different game. This flawed masterpiece sci-fi rpg/mmo, with intergalactic hordes of enemies, multitudes of gear and weapons, intriguing lore and intricate locations and activities, multiple game modes and wide ranging options for combat/gameplay reduced to this! Maybe the circle-jerk you're looking for is Calling you for Doody somewhere else...?

Should have told him to stop making excuses. Help him understand there are people above his skill level and hopefully he'll learn to keep his remarks in check when playing against someone he doesn't know

You have to be real bored to write about this and I have to be even more bored to read it.

You should of told Him no one loves him after

You know, there's a reason why making someone not worth talking to is actually more efficient of a message than doing something about it. By actually taking on a challenge, you inherently give him the tiniest bit of credibility, because it's true enough that you felt the need to challenge it. You give him the chance to win. You felt the need to show him, again, that you're better. When it should have been enough already. However, if you would say, he is not even worth the time to que up for a match. You insult his being along with his skill. He's below you. So you don't fight him. If you fight him, he's at a smallest degree, on your level. Whereas if you don't even feel like there's a point to fighting him then there is no debate. He might b*tch and complain and call you a coward or whatever. But that's the beauty of it, his words mean nothing. Of course, this only really works post match against someone who sh*t messages you, where you already have the proof of ownage. If you were pretty close, or tied, or just want to really see who is better as two equals (which is what a 1v1 should exclusively be) then go ahead an 1v1. But to 1v1 against someone who clearly is a waste of time should be left as only an example of a waste of time. When does the lion take to heart the protests or insults of a rabbit? Never, that's when. Because no matter what the rabbit can say, it won't ever matter. That's why you never truly argue with an idiot. Disproof them, or state your point, but don't argue them with all the way down to insults. You just mute them once sensible conversation goes away, and go elsewhere. Because there's no sense in arguing over something if nothing is ever going to actually be discussed or it goes beyond any meaningful purpose.
