Have you thought they're speaking it specifically so that other players won't understand? Or more likely, they just do it because it's easier for them and there's no necessity for others to know what they're talking about
Ok no I get that. BUT WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE TEAM COMMS IN RUSSIAN IF I TOLD YOU I CANT UNDERSTAND SHIT OF WHAT YOU’RE SAYING JUST FOR YOU TO BLAME ME IN ENGLISH AT THE END OF THE GAME??
1) In competitive games most of the russian players does NOT understand english. Or can comprehend that others don't speak russian or that your answer: "I don't understand" doesn't mean "Да, я прекрасно тебя понимаю".
2) Sometimes under stress they just forget that there also players from other countries.
3) 70% of PVP games players are toxic pieces of shit, and love to blame others for their own mistakes (REGARDLESS OF COUNTRY)
Every time there's a Russian player in my deadlock lobbies, or other similar games, they'll be very obviously talking to us (saying our usernames and stuff), but whenever someone responds to say they don't understand, the guy will immediately just start saying English insults with a very thick accent and a mocking voice. I just don't understand their mentality
I’ll tell you that in my experience (at least in deadlock since it’s what I’ve been playing recently) MOST of bad actors in team chat are at least Slavic (I really can’t tell between each language since I’m from Italy and I’m not familiar with the sound or alphabet). Usually I will make it clear that me and my friends can’t understand a word they are saying but that usually is met with either silence (which is fair, maybe they don’t speak the language) or just straight up slurs. It’s frustrating not to communicate especially in team games and even more so if the person you’re talking to makes no attempts to communicate back
As a slavic myself. Im confident to say that eastern europe gotta be the most toxic playerbase especially in competitive games.
That is usually because majority of our population is very competitive and it's a different social mentality.
While in the wester europe people often neutral or forgiving when someone does a mistake, in the eastern side it's completely opposite. And it is not just the internet, it's schools, universities, workplaces
Well, it's obviously depends. I can tell you funny story about 1 finnish person who was more toxic than everyone. Said some shit about drones and fathers on war, but on next day(there not only 1 example, but it's the most good), we cooperated with bunch of guys from Kazakhstan and Ukraine, and there was 0 toxicity
Yeah it swings like that too. I could be playing dota 2 or cs 2 with my friends and hear neverending shit towards everyone or it could be all of us just having fun and goofing around.
Aswell if you mention russia to a Ukrainian, Georgian, Kazakh, Finnish or almost every other neighbouring country to russia you'll start a long rant shitting on russia (completely valid 90% of the time btw)
I've been playing with Slavic people sometimes (and im east euro myself don't get me wrong), and a lot of times it's kinda a form of bullying or something, kinda lost respect for some people after they did it
Even the excuse of not knowing EN doesn't work, since they usually do know EN, or at least a few usually know it
Worst one was when I was playing OW 5v5 premades, and one time someone dropped out and we had no one else, so we played with a "random", who happened to speak English, and they straight up just turned on Russian mode leaving them completely in the dark, while also insulting all the time
This was before the war too
And I thought they are more or less normal people but wtf
Just kinda venting but holy shit I hate that behaviour
io grido nel microfono se continuano ad ignorare le mie necessità. inizio a mockare le loro parole... tipo molto spesso dicono una parola foneticamente vicino "prostata" o altro, le ripeto ad nauseam.
Ti ho chiesto di parlare inglese, se l'unico fottuto russo nel game, cristo dio parla inglese.
99% (number from my ass) of the non-russians they get matched with don't speak english natively either, but they usually have no issues switching to it when necessary.
Last part is very true, they just scream and blame you and don't even try to help at all. I think they do it just for the sake of toxicity, I wonder how their life is.
Tf you mean forget people outside of russia exist? I know they force their language on thoose even outside if russia but damn, thats on another level of stupid. Im not from engish speaking country but in 21st century english is franca lingua, you really shoud kearn it since it really isnt that hard
That's funny if they call you dogshit for not listening to their call outs in English when the call outs are in Russian. I would actually knee slap to that
You know what, fair. As long as instead of calling everybody slurs you call me trash in a hybrid between mine and Donald duck’s voice like that one guy I met a while ago
As he learned "some" slurs and hear them often I assume it were random bad words. There are not too many targeted slurs in Russian and I doubt that non speaker can easily identify these.
Listen man, let's say I'm on deadlock and we have you, abrams, and me on my team. We don't count the three other lobotomites that don't listen to comms whatsoever, listen, we're working with scraps here.
Now, it's 20th minute and I already figured out that Abrams doesn't speak english and you don't speak russian
If I give comms in russian, I'm talking to Abrams. These comms are none of your business.
