The idea behind the insult is that the offender is relying on mechanics that are imbalanced rather than skill. There are many insults that come from frustration with personal performance, folks feeling cheated for some reason or another. Not that they needed to improve, but someone else did something wrong.

I consider a tryhard anyone willing to learn and adapt and grow. I don't consider it a bad thing, but then, I try.

Probably he thought you were trying to carry for a lackluster team that doesn't appreciate such obscure and arcane things as 'tactics' and 'teamwork'.

The weird thing is that he said that in the chat before the game. I have since retired the Arctic Cheetah, because I could not get it to work for me. I am not doing well with light, fast and squishy. Sticking with Mediums and Heavies now...

Makes me wonder. What do you consider a tryhard and why is trying hard bad?

I had a match a few weeks ago where someone said "The Mech x is suicidal and the Arctic Cheetah is a tryhard." I was the only one with an Arctic Cheetah. Had no idea what he meant.

Doing all and everything to get an advantage but not recognizing thats not the mech but the player. Like parroting mechbuilds without even knowing how they work. Blaming others for the lose even if he was the first who died. Cursing over other players skill but not beeing able to get at least 1/1 wl/kd.

Best indicator: Winning is more important then fun.
If you have no fun by a good, dense and thrilling match because you lose 12/11,
you are for sure a tryhard. Posted Image

A tryhard would still use the cheetah because he has heared its the best mech, even if he cant make it work for him.

Well, when I do well, I do not really care whether I win or lose. I have been quite happy with losses where I did 800+ damage. And annoyed with wins where I found the enemy firing line and ended the game after about 30 seconds with 10 damage done. ;) (In the stress of trying to get back into cover I missed my alpha strike ;) )

To stay on topic, though, I am also still plugging through Tier 3. I am about 60% through. Although it currently feels like the bar stopped moving....

I truly mean this. I hope you do well and reach Tier One.

I missed some drama, lol. What is wrong with a "tryhard"?

And....I can see GOLD in there!

Way to go. You are moving ahead of me. :) I still have about 20-25% left in Tier3. Progress has slowed a lot after purchasing 4 Mechs in the last two sales and skilling them up. 2 out of the 4 are done, just a Shadow Hawk and a Night Gyr left to skill. :)
