Online gaming has exploded in popularity over the last 5-10 years and with that comes a huge variety of people you can end up connecting with from all around the world. Online gaming can provide a completely different experience compared to its offline counterpart – as each player will bring their own personality into the playing field.
Today we’ll explore some of the distinctive personalities you can cross paths with whilst online gaming.
The Competitive Champion
This player has only one thing on their mind – winning. A participation trophy means nothing to this group of gamers. They mean business and they thrive on competition. Whether that means racking up the most kills, earning the most gold or obliterating the leader boards. These types of gamers are not to be messed with. If you’re looking for a casual gaming experience then it’s best to steer clear of these leader board assassins.
The Casual Gamer
A lot of us don’t have the time to excel in online gaming; real life requirements can prevent these gamers from topping the leaderboard but that doesn’t mean they’re not having fun whilst doing so. This type of gamer is in it for the experience and is just happy to be along for the ride. If you’re looking for a thrill without the additional pressure, these are the gamers you want to be seeking out.
The Socialite
This type of gamer is in it more for the community than the game itself. If your online game includes voice chat, you can put money on their microphone being on and having a good old chit-chat whilst the game progresses.The journey is more important than the destination for this group. These gamers are great to play with if you’re looking for online friends.
The Troll
Unfortunately, online gaming can also bring out the worst in people. More often than not you’re going to run into this type of gamer. They thrive off disruptive behavior and will create as much destruction as they can. Due to the anonymity that can come with online gaming, they act like this with the pretense that they won’t face repercussions .You’re not going to have a good time if you’re grouped up with a player like this. The best option is to leave the party and try to find another group who will provide a more pleasant experience – or hit that ‘report’ button.
The Instructor
The perfect player to team up with if you’re new to the game you’re playing. They’ll take the lead and be more than patient with you as you get up to speed with the tasks at hand – as well as what buttons you should be pressing. They’re wanting to top the leader board but also bring you along for the ride so they’ve got team players to celebrate with when the game comes to a close.
The Role Player
Role-playing games can be a lot more immersive if the players take on the role of their character, and this is exactly what you’ll find them doing. Role-players delve right into the fictional world they are partaking in. They’ll often take on the character’s personality and embrace the lore of the game being played. Whether they’re a magical mage, a brave warrior or a stealthy assassin, they’ll add an extra layer of depth into your gaming experience.
The Ultimate Strategist
The brains behind the operation. This gamer knows the ins and outs of the maps, the quests, the objectives… the list goes on. You’ll often find this player teamed up with the competitive types as these two personalities go together like peanut butter and jelly. These are the players you want to be teamed up with if you’re looking to be crowned victorious when the time is up.
The Multi Tasker
If you are in it for the experience rather than the victory flag; this is another type of gamer who will be fun to team up with. You’ll often find them lagging behind or AFK (away from keyboard) for a portion of the game as they’re probably watching a movie or eating dinner whilst also trying to master the online world. You won’t be winning any games here but you’ll have fun explaining what they’ve missed out on whilst they weren’t paying attention.
The Rage Quitter
Playing with this type of gamer can be like walking on eggshells. They haven’t got time for mistakes and if things aren’t going their way…you’ll hear about it. More often than not they’ll have their voice chat enabled and as soon as things go south, they’ll be screaming down your ear. This type of player can’t grasp the idea of losing. You’re in for a fun time if your team is excelling in the team objectives but if things aren’t progressing in the way they want, you’re in for a bad time..
The Doom-and-Gloom
This player chomps on negativity for breakfast. They’ll find any possible way to complain and moan. They have an answer for everything and as we know – misery loves company. This player will try to bring everyone else down with them. A player worth steering clear of unless you want to be a part-time counsellor whilst the game progresses. These players see online voice chats as a way to vent out they’re real life problems to anyone who’s willing to listen.
The Comedian
These players are just here to have fun. They want to add a ray of sunshine into the gaming experience and have a good laugh with their teammates. Immersing themselves in the online world isn’t as much of a priority. They’re there to enjoy the journey and ensure everyone else is having as much fun as they are. If you’re looking for an easy going gaming experience as well as a few laughs along the way, this player is your perfect match and will be worth teaming up with again.
Curiosity Killed The Gamer
This gamer is similar to the multi-tasker in the sense that they’re usually lagging behind. The difference here is that this gamer IS paying attention but they tend to lack any contribution to the game objectives. Capturing the flag is not number 1 on their priority list. They’re more curious to find out some of the uncovered areas of the map, as well as possibly finding bugs or glitches within the game. A great player to be with if you’re feeling adventurous.
