Thats if you're sensitive to being flamed. I jumped in after playing against bots for 30s no previous TA experience and I was a complete terrorist for 5-10 games. Then I started just being a "bad" player and going unnoticed.

The operative word was "friendly" and I feel like "getting flamed" is generally understood to be the opposite of friendly.

That's fine! But. Again. Own it instead of pretending it's something it's not

yeah they did exactly the opposite of the advice...

And id bet they put up with it because "getting flamed" in bar is like 1000% less toxic than most online games and so i stand by 'friendly' on the relative scale of competitive online games today.
