@OP- Play how you want. Games are about fun, but also about winners and loser, so let the losers complain. It’s usually a sign of lacking skill when people complain (also I’m sure 343 is fed up with the children that feel entitled to win and cant handle a loss).
If you’re trying to win, you are doing nothing wrong.
If you feel like playing casually and things aren’t going your way, so what? You cannot dictate other players to play the way you want them to. The “tryhards” are not forcing you to play casually, right? If you play someone who is better than you and get crushed, guess what, you aren’t at their skill level. If you’re constantly losing, then you aren’t playing people around the same level as you, over time you will be matched with people around your level, so the casuals play the casuals, and “tryhards” play “tryhards”.
The way the game works, you win against someone around your skill level, the game is going to match you with someone higher than your skill level the next game. If you win again, it repeats.
If you lose, than you are going to play people at a lesser skill level. If you lose, it’ll match you against someone even lower. And it repeats.
Over time, you will start playing people around your level.
The term came from unskilled players who label people that actually try to win. How funny is it that people are given a title because they WANT to win lol.

Why can’t we just give everyone participation trophies. Isn’t that what the game is all about? haha I’m tired of people complaining.

You can be wrong without acting like a -Yoink-, mate.
Tryhard is generally used to describe people who take the game far too seriously. They care more about their stats then whether they’re having fun. They spend an inordinate amount of time looking up strategies and exploits. They often try to tell you how to play the game, because playing their way is the only way that counts. Basically anyone who whines about K/D and/or their clan for more than 5 minutes. Anyone who thinks they are MLG or A pro is likely a tryhard.

Basically a full fireteam of people who goes into arena wearing sweat bands and making callouts as well as trashing talking every time they win…and still trash talk when they lose. There’s a difference between people who want to win and will accept defeat, and people who are just -Yoinks!- when things don’t go their way.
In my eyes, KDA means nothing if you party up and spawn kill. Free for All is a true way of showing skill.

Ouch, people without a mic still contribute, plus party chat. I’m probably the exact opposite. At least you can kick the betrayer, but you can’t kick the guy that tells you where you should be and spouting curse words at you for not being there.

This ^
This is why you are seeing the threads complaining against tryhards. If the ranking system was fixed we wouldn’t have this issue.
My issue is the fact that sweaties are playing social just for the sake of getting kills and completing commendations. Social playlists aren’t truly social in Halo 5.
If there was a similar system in which was seen implemented in Halo 3, I doubt we would have this issue in the first place.
I agree, I get on the forum and I see lots of thread and post with complaints that r pointless. If u win u win, if u don’t to bad better luck next time, just play how u want to pls and let the others play the way they want to play, u cant win them all and u cant make people play the way u want them to play
I love playing for fun but I thrive on challenge and competition it is fun, I don’t like things being to easy I want challenges I want to have to work for what I want and a win
i am a HUGE TRYHARD and i’m proud! i’m that guy that jumps, crouches, thrusts away, sprints all around you while lighting you up from all angles :))))))) sorry, didn’t mean to have better coordination and tactics than yewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww <3
okay, but seriously, we all need to take a step back and realize halo has been an extremely competitive game since day ONE. Since CE, since H2, H3, etc. if you go into halo thinking your games will be casual then you will get destroyed. yes, i’m aware the ranking system is very odd for this game and that matchups are not always balanced in ranked and social but news flash, that’s how every halo has been and will continue to be. there will NEVER be a fully balanced ranking system. you will get paired up with “tryhards” and you will get paired up with noobs. that’s just the way she goes, fellas.

I’m no acting like anything, I told you that I know what the phrase means, that should suffice. To be honest, your input is neither desired nor required in this thread, kindly move on. Did I ask you for an explanation as to what a tryhard is? Or did I tell you that I know what the phrase means? I’ll let you figure the answer out!

They can indeed contribute, but not as well as someone who communicates effectively.
What you did was use a logical fallacy, it’s a misrepresentation of my argument. You’re basically suggesting that everyone who uses a mic bosses people around and swears at them and there’s no way I can shut them up, we both know you’re talking nonsense so lets leave it there eh. Their easily muted, and those people probably represent 1% of the people I get teamed up with.
There’s a reason every single decent team uses a mic, communication is key to winning. I’d like to know if someone drops the rockets and where they are. I’d like to know if there’s a guy crouching around the corner with a shotgun. Wouldn’t you?

I’d rather not, I’m having fun laughing at your pathetic retorts and anger over your own ignorance.

I’m not really complaining about complaining though. Just trying to make people understand that in a competitive game, there has to be a winner and loser. There’s lots of complaints about tryhards and sweaty games, but as I said earlier, for every easy game you have, someone has a tough game.
