That's stupid. You don't play a game with the intention of losing. Proof: people who say "tryhard" are usually mad, meaning they wanted to win. Meaning they were also trying. If you weren't "trying to win" you wouldn't care when you lose. Fact.
I don't play with the intention to lose, never have. I don't go into a game and say "I'm gonna lose this game just for the hell of it." I go into a game with the intention to have fun, not win.
Another thing I don't go into a game saying is, "I'm gonna make sure I sit in a corner at the best possible position and defend this objective. Teammates, watch my back!"
No. It's not about winning, it's about having fun.
