Who says a serious game isn't fun? I believe it is even more fun. You get more excited, You focus more, You care where a crate is falling from sky. It's an amazing feeling. You only need to have 'losing capacity'.
Indeed.
Im sick of people that say "I only play for fun... I dont play leagues".
Eh?
Why do you think people play leagues? Because its fun. Its fun playing against somebody who is also doing their best to win a game, it also increases your skill level. Its fun going on a winning streak and have your perfromance be reflected in your ratings. Its fun having people watch your games to see how well or badly you've played. Its fun playing in playoffs and tournaments, its fun playing games with your clan mates, in short, its fun to compete.
Im bored of messing around in funners, although of course ill play funners every now and then (catch me hosting ttrr anytime im not tussing). Thats what I did for the first year or so of playing worms, now I am more skilled, I prefer to play competative games against skilled players because for me and many others, this is MORE fun. If its not for you, fine.
Don't bash people who enjoy playing leagues though.
Who doesnt enjoy playing a perfect elite, getting a great winning time in a ttrr or playing a nail bitingly close team 17 match?
I'll tell you who doesnt enjoy it, its people that don't like to loose. Whether I win or loose a league game, I will enjoy the challenge of playing my best against an equally skilled player.
The irony of it is that people who say "I only play for fun, I dont play leagues", are indeed the very people that cannot accept defeat.
This is the paradox, this is the stupidity.
