Team Killing: Learning to Live with Betrayal in Gaming and Esports

by devaccess



Team killing can be found in everything. From first person shooters, to real-time strategy games, to Battle Royales, to even MOBAs like League of Legends.

But where did this taboo practice come from? And why is it ingrained in some of esports’ biggest games?

Most of the time team damage doesn't even make sense in most games and I don't understand why it's added especially since you get so heavily penalized for tking etc.

We’ve all been brainless feeders before and it’s really funny when you’re in a causal match but really annoying when you’re in competitive

I wish private servers would come back so these dev's would stop treating their communities like a kid they are babysitting. Team killing does not need to be patch out or reversed. That's the lamest shit I've heard all day.

Meanwhile in Dota I think Tiny tossing his teammate into the enemy fold constitutes a tk.

oh man this back funnily painful memories of me and a friend trying to beat LEGO Star Wars in one weekend but we kept accidently (and sometimes purposefully) fucking each other over. Shooting each other, hitting each other with lightsabers, destroying each other's builds. One of the few times I genuinely threatened to get my mom to call his mom. good times.
