I was in a match of Chaos Canyon and, as Ban Hammer, I managed to dodge the enemy hyperlaser's ult, and because I hate Hyperlasers and hope every second they play as the character is another day they're getting cucked, I shot a quick sticker at them, nothing to crazy, just the Ban Hammer sticker you get when getting the Tyrannical Warden badge, and thought nothing else of it because, why would I? Well, I should've appearantly, because the next time they popped their ult and shot me because they are a very fun and balanced character, the killfeed had shown to me a highlight of my phighting days, the hyperlaser uses the same sticker right after killing me.
Whenever I get mad, (excluding the incident) I almost never get mad at the player, I get mad at the character they're playing, its not their fault Sword or Hyperlaser are low skill / high reward
I am so glad my poor ragebait seemingly resonated with them so much they felt the need to return the favor when they killed me, this has taught me that Hyperlaser players do have emotions! They only feel hate! And honestly, Hyperlaser does read to me as the character you play when you don't wanna actually play the game, you just wanna get a bunch of kills and MVPs
Also, unrelated, but I feel like Hyperlaser should have some mechanic that can at least make them a bit more fun to play against, but I don't know what to change without polarizing them further, my main thoughts would just be intenser damage falloff (or just damage falloff if they don't have it), their M2 only dealing damage through walls if it hits the head and deal significantly less damage if not shot through a wall, voltanic grenade creating a smoke screen instead of a free escape, have it grant a quick turn rate so you could trick enemies, and weaken evasive maneuver a bit
Oh yeah and their ult, like my opinion on most of the ults, a complete rework is needed. I had a thought about a laser that progressively deals more damage to you as you fire it, meaning you need to actually think while you fire it, it also locks you in place
