You use your hard work earning for it. And you underperform in your games, people know that. They will report you and eventually you will be back to your real rank.
Why you do that? C’mon I know you guys are lurking here. Tell me the answer I’m just curious.
Validation and the necessity to prove something to someone, I think:
I have a friend whose cousin basically only plays disruptor and witchdoctor. He is ok for his level but nothing special. One day I saw him online playing Invoker and checked it out. He was playing like a god. I messaged him and he did not reply. I messaged him later on WhatsApp and he denied the whole thing. I must be looking at someone else’s account, he said.
Ok I then don’t see him online for about a month. All the suddenly he logs in and he is now low ancient (he used to be cruzader 2 or 3). We (group of friends) confronted him. he denies being boosted… We turn his entire month absence and apparently incredible and sudden explosion of skills into a meme and we start calling him Amer (Miracle’s real name). After a long time (maybe 2 months or so) he says he lets a “friend” play on his account from time to time. He fabricates some bullshit about how his friend can’t play anymore on his account that’s why he makes the “consession”. One day he is really drunk online, he confesses paying this dude to boost his level so his cousin would look up to him or something… Both him and his cousin are over 35 years and I thought this sort of thing was something teenagers do, I was obviously wrong.
He is also one of the most toxic people I’ve ever met online (in real life he is nice but online he is a jerk). Not sure if these things are correlated.
New copypasta has arrived.
