Let me tell you how I act when there’s trash talk from the adversary.
I defuse it. I make a light joke and show respect. It immediately changes the atmosphere and people have fun together while fighting. This happens a lot on FPS like CoD, Battlefield, etc.
Defuse it, don’t escalate.
If the method is within the rules, but it’s lame, make light hearted fun of it. They know what they’re doing.
Never get personal. Your gaming experience will radically improve.
If all fails, shut down coms and focus. Win or make them pay their victory dearly.
Get mad, lose focus and you’ll give them a double victory. Not only do they win the match, but they got you personally while at it. Is it really worth it? It is not.
