How To Kill Spamming FOR GOOD

[BlakNoble]

Recently ive been playing against so many spammers of all colors of the spam spectrum, From ledge campers to sig spammers and everything inbetween. So today ladies and gents im going to share with you my "Tips and Tricks" to getting that FREELO and to end spamming once and for all! Are you ready? Then lets begin!

1: Taunt
Spammers are people too! If you taunt them after every kill, just like you, they will get annoyed and will mess up

1: TLDR: Read Above its not that long^

2: Say GG
Yes be a good sport and say GG ONLY WHEN YOU LOSE. DO NOT! I REPEAT DO NOT! Talk trash to a spammer after they have won, it fuels them and entices them to spam even more

2: TLDR: Read Above its not that long^

3: Say EZ
When you win do not say gg, do not just leave, just type EZ and watch the salt. However, DO NOT CALL A SPAMMER A SPAMMER, OR SAY GIT GUD, it also fuels them. Even in defeat it fuels them and they will continue to spam. Think about it! You're fighting a spammer. The spammer knows that he/she is spamming. You beat the spammer. You call the spammer a spammer. In their mind that means you got annoyed enough to call them out. To them that means it worked, and as such they will continue to spam

3: TLDR: Say EZ and leave

4: Counter Spam With Spam
you find a spammer out spam them Case and point. When you win say EZ, if they try to contiue the conversation be like " LMAO newb spammer cant even spam LOL".

4 TLDR: Read Above its not that long^

4: Spammer counter styles.
Sig spam> ledge camping
Throw spam> Sig spam
Ledge Camping> Throw spam

For those of you who dont want to be "Toxic" think of it like this. You're being toxic to toxic ppl to end their toxicity. Spammers are bullies, a spamming beginner beat another beginner and threw salt in their face, now that beginner goes down the path of spam, and beats another beginner and of course they throw salt in their face and well, wash, rinse, repeat.

Logic and talking it out doesnt work to a bully. stop making spam complaint threads! to end spam you have to find it and kill it! Become the "White Blood Cells" of Brawlhalla and remove this toxicity!

Thats all for now folks! If i have missed something please tell me!
(Hopefully Brawlhalla can still be saved)

Kill spamming by BMing is poor sportsmanship. Just because they are spamming doesnt nessisarily mean they want to spam only. Maybe thats the only thing they know well. Maybe you dont counter well enough for them to try something else. Dont judge players solely on their playstyle.

I almost always type ggwp,which i believe shows my opponent i valued the game instead of pressing a single button to automate my response.

If they are spamming, id want to help them improve and talk about gameplay that isnt nessisarily relevant to their spamming. Why fight fire with fire when you can support active gameplay rather than using the same move again and again. Spamming doesnt make one a better player, right? You learn by trying new things and getting out of your comfort zone. So incentivize players by encouraging them with positive gsmeolay over taunting

There's one major flaw in your arguement.
The reason why people spam, is that they have not learned how to play yet.

Assuming players are spamming purposefully is not the way to go about it. Play like you normally do, show them the difference between spam and parry. Agressive and passive. etc.

Being toxic to these players only causes them to get frustrated, preventing them from learning. This leads to more spam.

Source: I'm getting back into the game, I'm spamming a little bit; Playing some bad parry as well. I'm just trying to get my head back into the game. I'm not trying to piss you off, and it pisses me off when players decide to do some wallcamping, or passive play in response.

I dont think you understand..
At a beginner level yes you are right spam will ALWAYS be present there. However, the very second they become aware that they are spammers and continue to spam is toxic.
Toxicity in any competitive game comes from the basic human drive to win, people dont care what they do or how they do it as long as they can get that " I Beat You " bragging rights. which leads to me to your next point. There is a difference between preventing someone from learning and someone who doesn't want to learn, doesn't matter how many tips you give them or how you teach them people will always use what works, and if spamming works THEY. WILL. SPAM.

So YES you can assume that spammers are puprosely spamming

Edit*
"Being toxic to these players only causes them to get frustrated, preventing them from learning. This leads to more spam."
Thats the point. Let them get frustrated and not want to learn. Let them spam harder so they can fail harder, which leads them to a very simple decision, either learn how to play, or quit. If they feel as tho they should be able to press one button over and over again or run around the map and throw stuff or even stick to the egde and reach diamond. Let em quit

I don't think spamming is such a huge deal and even if it was, then you're blaming the wrong person. The person taking advantage of a game mechanic to win isn't at fault it's the people who allowed it to be there.

And I think mail moon is right people just haven't learned to play yet. Here's me trying to be aggressive against spammers

They're both obviously new, it would be a strange thing to get tilted by.

Also typing 'ez' or getting salty in post game chat just makes you look weak, especially if people are legitimately doing it to troll you.

Again.... beginner spam is fine it will always exist...and if you would read you will see what im saying... salt those that know they are spamming and do it just because either to win or troll

what about the people who are tired?
The players that are drunk or high?
Or the kids overwhelmed with school.

And then you have the people who are slow learners. People who take breaks, etc.

Spam is a constant.

thats why we ask for help or sparring partners.....

100% XD this seems like extremely salty and toxic tips on being average brawlhalla player. He even brought up saying EZ which is just pathetic XD. I sometimes troll and spam on purpose and seeing people getting frustrated makes me do it even more XD.

1: Me. When I first started playing brawlhalla I was working 70hours per week, barely paying my bills. I came home and just zoned out playing casual matches.
2. Sureis man.
3. Yeah no...some people play to just decompress and zone out. They aren't playing seriously and thus spam happens.
4. So you're saying that players who are still learning, should not play in public matches?
Think about #4 for a bit.

So what exactly constitudes spam? I was called a spammer by an ADA who did only sigs, because I was playing Lance on scarlet. So does that mean that doing the Lance string is spamming?

existing is spamming

Spamming is a legitimate tactic but suffers from several exploitable weaknesses. It's not toxic to play the game the way the developers have designed it to be played. However, some of the behavior you're suggesting IS toxic.

You want to know how you REALLY get people to stop spamming? Beat them. They'll stop when they it's proven ineffective. I'm guessing you just aren't very good at all and you don't know how to beat a spammer. Git gud.
