Why are elf players just... bad people?(most of the time)

[Ashley]

I've consistantly noticed that the worst of the worst people in this game are elf players. They tend to be the players who refuse to stay close, insult others in chat or just generally troll. I've just seen it constantly happen and never have an issue with other classes/characters.

Elves be Elves lumberfoot.

Don't worry you will find enough jerks on other chars soon enough.

Because its easy to fall into the "im so good" trap with her. The hero is so easy to play and to get high numbers at the end. The problem is, they forget sometimes its a teamgame. THEY can fight solo just fine. So all others must be noobs. I met someone like that. He and his friend left us alone, not even looking back once. Sometimes you get caught by a wave and have to fight. Always look back for the last one. In a war if you run to the front and your team dies, your the noob not for looking out for the others

I had a game where because i went down at a certain point of the map the dwarf and saltz we had refused to bring me up or help me. Simply let me die. Luckily enough the elf was nice enough to rescue me.

The dwarf and saltz were both 20 plus.

The irony? I almost topped the charts after coming in at about 1/3 of the way through.

In the first round I ever played in this game, I was asked by voice chat if I am retarded. So I deactivated voice chat and started round two. :-)

Best way to counter it, play elf yourself!

On serious note, i havent encountered anything _too_ bad yet, if anything i've seen couple worse sienna and saltz players tho.

Because you've been memed into conformation bias by casuals, I see far more toxic people of all classes @ Champ than you do elves.

I ran into 5 toxic players today. 1 Sienna, 1 Bardin, and 3 Kerillians. Meme or not, my experience with toxic players is primarily elves.

I find that incredibly hard to believe even if you are only playing on recruit.

i´m a nice elf....#mateflys not mayflys

It's not elf players, it's the general "role" of the class. With a kill focused class some people fancy themselves the "carry" of the team and think they can do no wrong.

This is not just elf, Kruber specced into Huntsman is the second most common example of bad behavior I find.

Btw there's a pretty easy way to identify an elf palyer with this mentality. When you start the game does the player shoot single trash mobs that are just in front of your face when you're in melee? Bad elf players do this constantly and I think it's a major part of what annoys people about them.

And if any of you reading this perhaps do that, please stop. It's a waste of ammo, your teammates probably can handle a single clan rat or small groups of them. If you have to shoot stragglers at least aim to take 2 of them down with one shot or save the ammo to take down enemies that are about to flank your teammate. Secondly this makes for extremely bad habits for when you get into champion where friendly fire is a thing. Do not teach yourself to shoot through teammates, you'll regret it.
