First of all, I admit choosing brutas wasn't the best choice, considering lancers next door on both sides. Even so, here are some conversations that could use some work.
A: Archonlord, M: MatPat
1. A: "why / would / you / go / that (bruta) / lancers here / gol / and they are going to !@#$ on you hard"
- Instead, try talking about merc with your ally before he chooses. For example, "hey, what merc are you thinking?"
- Even if you're upset that he chose bruta, you can simply say that, and think about what to do moving forward: "i don't think bruta was the best choice, what's your plan?"
- Both of these options seem much better. Also, your ally will play worse if you begin by cussing at him out of the gate.
2. M: "i think tyler is going straight to queen" | A: "wont amter (matter)"
- Your ally is attempting to discuss strategy, and you shoot him down. Instead, try: "gotcha, what do you think we should do?"
3. (at 19:15 game time) A: "can you let me take the lead / and support" | M: "k" | A: "yeah this is done" | M: "what? / dude" | A: "i should have gone / tass"
- Complaining about the game being over at 20 minutes is ridiculous, and makes it seem like you've never played in a scrim before. You can definitely still go tass. Additionally, complaining about a past decision does not accomplish anything in the present. Instead: "i'm going tass" would suffice.
- MatPat, or any player who is scrimming, doesn't need their ally to tell them that the team is behind. Just makes you seem annoying when you point out the obvious.
4. (about sasin feeding well) A: "not your fault / its just your comp / doesn't counter anything"
- This statement alone isn't bad, but you have to complete the thought by adding a solution. It comes across as passive-aggressive if you don't. Just add "maybe you should try going [unit]"
5. (unprovoked) A: "lol" | M: "?" | A: "nothing its just bad strat / together" | M: "are you like this with everyone you play with? / cause im not gonna lie dude, youre kinda annoying" | A: "allright / well you are kinda bad" ... (more BM)
- You already said/implied this about 5 times. Again, it's just annoying and useless to keep mentioning it. I'm wondering the same thing MatPat was.
- Followed up with blatant BM. Classy.
6. A: "any suggestions / because / im not sure" | M: (gives suggestion) | A: well i said hero 10 min ago / its too late now / tbh / we wont win / but / i would have went / goliaths / and / tas"
- Started off fine, asking for a suggestion. Could have responded to his suggestion with something like "ht+gol probably best, but maybe we can try ht" instead of complaining about past decisions.
7. A: "bruta is just generally not a good unit in a scrim / just slow / and immobile / live and lurn i guess" | M: "yeah, so when lumina goes bruta every time and wins / and i went bruta 2 games ago and got 2nd / that was just luck?" | A: "well in this game" ... (states the obvious) ... "im not trying to be annoying or shit on you"
- Inherently false that bruta is generally not a good unit - clearly you know this, and were trying to bait a response so you could yell at MatPat some more. MatPat unfortunately took the bait, after hearing you complain for 40 minutes.
- If you don't consider this being annoying/shitting on your ally, then I don't know what is.
I think the point has been made, so I'll stop here. Some more passive-aggressive banter happens, from both MatPat and Archonlord. Archonlord later complains to all chat, incurring the wrath of all the other players in the game. It's bad scrim ettiquette to complain about your ally in all chat - especially when it's someone like MatPat.
Final message to archonlord: You're a good player, but don't assume that everyone else is bad. To your credit, you didn't say what I thought, which was: "u !@#$% why did u choose bruta we lost now gg dumb!@#", but it was only one step short of that. You basically said "why did u choose bruta we lost now", and said it about 12 times. Learn to communicate with respect, and someday you could become a player that others like to play with
z, but it didn't work out - only the god TamilTiger knows the secrets of HB :P
