Hello, I just had a question regarding for want of a better term "sandbagging". Meaning getting into / with much less experienced players. Not squid/teabagging.
So, my kid loves playing the game, but being 6.... she isn't all that great at it. Think she is about level 9 or so, somewhere in there. She wants to play with one of her parents so we have 2 options(she hasn't tried a salmon run yet, seems like it might be a bit much for her to be honest) either she joins us(and gets completely absolutely stomped playing against people who are my wife and I's skill level.) Or join our daughter with the lower skilled people.
Walked in there with my normal dapple duelies, and immediately it was obvious I needed to switch to a weapon that I wasn't as comfortable/familiar with.
But before I did that I was messing around/trying to get the other team used to what duelies can do to try and help them improve. There was a charger in particular I was trying to help improve their aim on by doing the roll every time they shot and rolled out of the way. I didn't want to just go up and kill them because that wouldn't help them much, so I just sat there and rolled for 15-20 seconds or so before the person just stopped trying. It must have looked to them like I was intentionally screwing with them and taunting them because they didn't do much else the rest of the match and didn't come back for another. Which wasn't what I was going for at all.
Is there a way to show that you arnt trying to be an *** and trying to stomp them into oblivion? But rather, trying to help them get aiming down or whatever it is they need to work on?
I'm pretty sure I ruined at least one person's good time and id really prefer to not do so again.
My solution was to work on getting better with brellas and chargers which did help some. And using clean gear.
Sorry to anyone I may have mercilessly slaughtered that first round or two. I know what that's like, and it doesn't make the game more enjoyable.
