Without even knowing it, the thirst for Respect is one of the key drivers for many Gamers.  Buried deep in our subconscious we grind for better achievements and exotic talents that are higher than our peers with the overwhelming desire to be “liked” and Respected.

I’ve been running the same Blind Banshee build for months merely because is earns so much respect in Div 2 protecting the team and being an effective King-maker.

Here’s a Path to Respect

Be considerate

This build doesn’t kill NPCs very fast, but it sets up teammates to kill without being harmed.

Act respectfully

With hardly any real damage to NPCs, I need to encourage teammates to focus on certain non-obvious threats without demanding they “SHOT HERE”.

Listen and Watch well

I need to have good situational awareness, map knowledge and enemy spawn knowledge to anticipate where the threats come from and where they are likely to run to.

Be useful

Look out for teammates under severe threat of dying and disable the threat immediately.

Don’t make excuses

I’m very squishy so always need to look after myself and can’t blame anyone for me being out of position or foolishly flanked.

Let go of anger

Sometimes, it seems no one is shooting in the right places, just relax and be patient…don’t rage quit.

Be willing to change

If all fails or the team asks you to, switch to a Damage per second Build
