My wife and I just started playing Valo two weeks ago, never played any CS:GO, and her first shooter ever was Warzone which she started about 9 months ago - so safe to say Valo was a totally unique game to both of us. We also both sucked off the bat (the depths of Iron 1), and are still Bronze/Silver but at least climbing.

We have a nice comeback in a game when we were Iron, down 8-2 at one point, and my wife just posts clips of the game to TikTok cause it was a fun win. Suddenly, here come all the "pros" going out of their way just to say mean shit about how low the rank must be and blah blah blah about the clip.

I go through and delete the douchey ones cause she has anxiety and doesn't need the negativity in her head. But seriously, did I miss the part where every other Valo player was a suddenly pretentious, asshole radiant coach? Or is this just every competitive gaming community thinking they are all super good?

Let the Irons, Bronzes, etc have their fun and post their clips - go fuel your need to be an insecure jerk somewhere else, ain't nobody making you watch the videos.
