Tryhard by its very definition comes with negative connotations. To be referred to as such in any way is not meant as a complement. I'm baffled as to its inclusion on the poll. It's as if you could boil the two options on it down to either you don't care much at all or you care so much you turn into an asshole in your need for success in a video-game. Too seriously (cares a bit too much) and not seriously enough (doesn't care enough) just aren't good options. I never gave a definition of each, whatever you define as a tryhard and whatever you define as a casual is what you are voting on. Hope that cleared things up

Why is everyone saying that turf war can't be played competitively? Just wondering... It's because it simply isn't ranked. For example if you go on Advanced Warfare and play standard list. People won't take the game as seriously as Skill Based Match Making, because there is nothing at stake. So for CoD players standard list is our turf war and Skill Based Match Making is our Ranked Battles. Hope you understand what I am trying to say

Hope you understand what I am trying to say But what is more competitive than skill based match making? Clan Wars. I honestly feel like after the metagame, turf wars will have more potential than splat zones in clan wars, since splat zones just seems over crowded and chaotic while turf wars requires the use of the minimap to be good more than splat zones. Hopefully there is a better mode than both splat zones and turf wars however. P.S. dont double post

If there is no agreed upon definition of the options in the poll, then the poll itself serves no real purpose. You can't gleam anything remotely substation from it if the options can mean whatever anyone wants them to whether it makes any sense or not. It's about consistency. Establish the rules and stick to them, that way you can determine where the divide is and why people voted the way they did.

;~; no I'm being teamed up on... *reports* I wasn't making fun of you. I was making fun of myself as I do that too often. But anyways, this poll is confusing. Like compared to some people I'm going to play causally but compared to other people I'm going to be trying hard. Also I see Edit Reason has been added. Or has it? Has this always been there?

I wasn't being serious. I'm not easily offended. But yeah, about being "tryhard", I think it will have to do more with the setting that you are playing in. If you are in a room with a bunch of noobs that you don't know, it's more likely it will become more of a sarcastic trolling experience than if you are in a clan war/in a room with a bunch of people your same level.

I know the game matches you up with people of similar rank in Ranked Battles, but does Coolness affect who you get ranked with in Normal Battles?
