History YMMV / AmongUs

* ViewerNameConfusion: Polus's critical sabotage, Reset Seismic Stabilizers, is often mistakenly called "reactor" by players, due to being practically the same in terms of gameplay as the Reactor Meltdown sabotage from The Skeld, Mira HQ and The Fungle, with the only difference being that the scanners used to fix it are far apart instead of next to each other.

** A common defense against the unsporting behaviour of the playerbase is that the game should only be played with friends. Some argue that this is how you "should" play - others argue that it's actually boring since playing with the same crowd means you learn their habits, and can thus deduce a credible suspect [[{{Metagame}} off of how your friends behave]].[[labelnote:*]] For example, if you know a player who's quite talkative, and suddenly they are quiet? You have reason to suspect them even if they're not doing anything suspicious.[[/labelnote]]Some argue this is part of the game, others find it much more interesting when you're playing with strangers because you don't know if some random person is lying or not and have to actually pay more attention to come up with a credible alibi or prove your own innocence.

** Whether or not voice chat should be used. Many argue that it makes the game far too easy since it's not hard to [[{{Metagame}} deduce who the impostors are based upon information outside the game]] - and methods to subvert this (ie, auto-mute until meetings begin, regional chats, discord bots made to auto-mute "Dead" players) require so much setup that it might just be easier to stick to just text chat. Others argue that it doesn't and is way quicker than just using text chat (Which is itself rather slow) since people will speak way faster than they type.

* BrokenBase: While different players obviously favor different game settings (map, amount of Impostors, anonymous voting, visual tasks, extra roles, etc), people are particularly likely to go ballistic over whether Confirm Ejects should be turned on. Detractors argue it tends to make games easy for the crew by making serious accusations easily dealt with through the "we eject A, then B if they lied" method (unless there are too few Crewmates left to risk doing so), letting them track how many Impostors are left, and casting immediate suspicion on whoever defended someone in the meeting who turned out to be an Impostor (albeit this [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter isn't fully reliable]] and [[EtTuBrute can be exploited by the Impostors]]). Meanwhile, proponents like it for RuleOfDrama, as it allows all the tension built up during the meeting to explode when the ejected player's alignment is revealed, and tracking how many Impostors remain allows for more scenarios of the crew knowing that if they don't eject someone in the current meeting, [[ForegoneVictory the Impostors will just need one more kill to win]], again making for an extra tense deliberation. Luckily, this divide doesn't exist in games with only one Impostor, for the obvious reason that if the ejected player ''is'' the Impostor, the game ends immediately anyway.

** While all maps maintain a solid player base, The Skeld continues to be the preferred option by a significant margin due to its simple layout and moderate size.

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Obnoxious/annoying players will often get themselves ejected even if they're obviously not an Impostor and thus their removal gives the actual Impostors a lead, simply because people would rather play at a slight disadvantage than put up with such players' antics, even when they aren't actually disrupting the gameplay in itself.
