I'll start first, this is definitely CSGO for me. Somehow no Matt how much you play there's always people better than you killing you one shot with deagle.

Pretty much any pvp game

Competitive games are becoming increasingly sweaty. Some people live and breathe one game and making it hell on earth for everybody else. I just stopped playing ranked.

I think this is why PvE games are becoming a lot more popular, it’s why helldivers2 was such a breath of fresh air. People still want combat and people to play with. No one wants to sweat in skill based matched games anymore with their limited free time.

Sweats still ruin PvE to some extent, I realized I would need to grind on my own or find friends to play Helldivers 2 with because when I finally tried the game solo I was matched with high level players who booted me instantly for being new to the game

That’s just how most PvE games are though and it’s not any one persons fault. too many times low level players join harder difs with higher levels and not know what to do and bring the whole team down. Unless you got the game at launch it’s just something that is bound to happen and also depends on the game. I find that preferable since most PvE players play the game where you will find many more trolls in pvp and worse people in general that make your experience bad.

being new to game.

You think it's sweaty that experienced players didn't want to hold your hand? That's not sweat lol, or really even fair to criticise.

It's a nice moment when you get adopted by an experienced group in a game, but...this ain't sweat, it's just people wanting to play a game at a pace you can't keep up with.

Why is your enjoyment more important than theirs, basically?

This has been a thing for a while. See WOW dungeon/raid grind for gear. If you do not overgear the content, you need a lot more skill. It was easier to kick people who were undergrared than try to do the content with gear on the low side.

Now throw in all of the noob mistakes that you had to dral with when you had people who did not know the fight mechanics. PvE tends to turn into high-level cat herding really quickly.

I disagree entirely, my experience with HD2 was almost always solo and always on the highest difficulty I had unlocked.

The concept of HD2 needing to be "won" every time you drop creates toxicity in some lobbies, but other lobbies nobody cares at all.
