| Jan 3, 2019 at 4:17 | comment | added | nukeforum | I think this interpretation, while accurate, may be more modern. In a more classical context, a tryhard would be someone who is treating a friendly, casual, or otherwise non-serious game/mode/match as a serious, competitive endeavor. The implication is that a tryhard has "ruined the fun". | |

| Nov 27, 2015 at 7:49 | comment | added | Marv | I think that the "also" is redundant, I have never seen anyone who called someone else a tryhard, without justifying a lose :P | |
| Nov 27, 2015 at 2:34 | comment | added | dyesdyes | Try hard is also a term used by losers to justify their lose... | |

| Nov 26, 2015 at 10:31 | comment | added | Marv | Well when you are aiming for winning when you play, then it is a mistake not to end the game. Even when I am playing for fun I want to win the game, as nothing is more fun than winning :) | |
| Nov 26, 2015 at 10:30 | comment | added | h0ch5tr4355 | it actually substantiates your post, you can't talk about failing when noone intended to finish the game. So there was no mistake done. | |
| Nov 26, 2015 at 10:26 | comment | added | Marv | Well in your example it would not be the enemy that tryharded, but your team that failed to take your advantage and finish the game. All what the enemy does is turning your mistake into a win. Giving examples for tryhards is hard, because it is as I said opinion based and depends on the person who calls someone else a tryhard. | |
| Nov 26, 2015 at 10:25 | comment | added | h0ch5tr4355 | True, that's why there are normal queues and ranked queues. Normals for trying things out and just having fun, ranked queues for trying hard. So calling someone in ranked tryhard is ridiculous while in a normal its legit in some cases. To give an example for League of Legends: playing with friends e.g. in aram but never finishing until the enemy got 1 attempt and finishes it directly: Then the enemy definitely tryharded. | |
