nice observation by anon.
i miss making friends in games and couldnt quite put my finger on why matchmaking was much worse and unfun than old multiplayer and this is it.
They've abstracted away the social element. It takes so much work now to make a friend. After a game ends there's perhaps a summary screen or lobby, so you can add another player to your friends list, but you have no way of discussing that with them. Anytime I get a friend request, I think, who is this? Why are they friending me
Half the time a friend request comes just so someone can continue to flame you after the match is over
I see you play League of Legends
I wish this behavior was limited to a single playerbase. I haven't played league in a million years and this still happens sometimes
Can't we all just get along? We're here to play games darn it
Oh, is that still a thing people say? Been a long time since I remember seeing it.
Well sure, old people do
i tried just adding random people and once some japanese guy accepted and would play with me for a few days and speak words i did not understand
One of the cool things about lobbies in VR is fist bumping to make friends, it's a beautiful mechanic
...what game is that
Population One, and a few others I think
