But what I'm really upset about is that people aren't communicating and cooperating and being respectful of each other and working together and being social and pushing back the alienation and playing and finding joy.

I'm so fucking isolated these days. This is the closest thing that I have to a social outlet. And so many people in multiplayer games just have no interest in communicating or working together, or have no interest in, like... playing in a way that supports the team and works towards a cooperative goal? Like they're playing by themselves, in a multiplayer lobby, and I absolutely do not understand it and I hate it. I don't understand why people play multiplayer games when they don't wan to play with people.

I mostly play solo queue, I play fill support roles and defenders, I go for saves not for plays, I telegraph my lane choice, I gg my teammates in the endgame and then nobody ggs me back :( i think cos other people are in duos or trios and they only look out for each other or discuss on external comms so they don't use in game chat.

I used to roll in a premade two stack or three stacks when my friends played the same games and that can take the edge off, but I totally feel you.

Discord has been so bad for gaming, especially combined with the steady destruction of private server communities and the shift to ranked matchmaking. People aren't in the game, they're not playing on their favorite server with all the people they've gotten to know over months and years. They're all on discord, in their own little insular discord worlds, talking with their discord friends and not interacting with people in the game.

On the flip side, I've had success making a discord server for a specific game and inviting leftists to join from places like this.

Where are you in my games lol. I saw someone on Pokemon unite who had a possibly hexbear related name, I added them as a friend but I'm too chickenshit to actually invite them into a lobby
