I didn't think this needed to be said, but apparently it does. I know that twitch chats are usually devoid of any intelligent discussion, but I never thought it was that bad on AoE2 streams. Guess I was wrong?
When Memb's stream went down today, his chat was filled with "F F F TITANIC DISASTER STREAM LAG LAG LAG FFFFFFF". Do you think this helps the situation at all? The next stage was people saying "T90 STREAMING NO LAG, GO WATCH NILI OR DAVE" etc. etc.. I think it's really rude to advertise other people's streams in a streamer's chat.
Then in Nili's chat people were saying "let me know when Memb is back online"... that's what the follow button on twitch is for ffs.
The point is this. Saying inane things which are kind of irrelevant to the gameplay such as "what is the other semifinal", or "what time is final" etc. is one thing. But just contributing to a bonfire of emotes and capital letters is never useful, and probably adds a lot of stress to Memb (or whoever it is). If you are one of the people who joins in, please consider not doing it - its just toxic.
It's probably completely pointless to post this because it wont change anything but I just need to vent cause it pisses me off haha.
