Players Express Frustration Over Passing in Rematch
In the vibrant world of Rematch, a storm of discontent continues to brew among players, nearly a month after the game’s latest updates. The source of this unrest? A persistent issue with teammates failing to pass the ball during crucial moments of gameplay. A quick glance at the game’s subreddit reveals a plethora of posts echoing the same sentiment, with cries of “pass, damnit!” becoming a familiar refrain.
One particularly impassioned post, which has garnered close to 800 upvotes, features a lengthy 621-word diatribe from a frustrated player. Their message is clear: the lack of passing is driving them to distraction. The post captures the essence of the community’s frustration, with one user exclaiming, “FUCKING PASS IT. PASS THE BALL. MATE PASS THE FUCKING BALL. PASS IT YOU DIP SHIT. PASS IT TO ANYONE. DON’T FUCKING RAINBOW FLICK IT. PASS THE FUCKING BALL.”
Amidst the uproar, players have even taken to critiquing the hairstyles of their fellow gamers. A particular style, reminiscent of Meguru Bachira from the popular sports anime Blue Lock, has drawn ire for its association with players who seem to prioritize individual flair over teamwork. One thread contributor likens these players to “the BMW in traffic,” noting their tendency to avoid passing while offering sarcastic praise when errors occur. Another player chimes in, suggesting that these individuals believe they embody the essence of “him,” a reference to the anime’s protagonist.
So, is Rematch truly suffering from an epidemic of selfish ball-hogs? The answer is likely yes, as is often the case in multiplayer gaming environments. However, it raises an intriguing question about player mindset and the potential for a more harmonious gaming experience.
Having spent considerable time in the realm of MOBAs, I can relate to the frustration of dealing with uncooperative teammates. Yet, I’ve recently adopted a more zen-like approach to my gameplay. Embracing the ‘you are traffic’ mentality has shifted my perspective. While it’s easy to point fingers at teammates for their shortcomings, it’s essential to recognize that, in ranked matches, we all share in the responsibility for our performance.
In my recent games, I’ve made it a point to spam the ‘we got this!’ emote whenever challenges arise. Did my goalie make a blunder? We got this. Did a player channel their inner Bachira and lose possession? We got this. Surprisingly, this simple shift in attitude has proven effective. After all, tilt can be a formidable adversary, and whether I’m seething internally or maintaining my composure, a few taps on the d-pad to spread positivity costs nothing.
