Are you good or bad sport when you lose in competitive online gaming?

[Panmisiek]

How you cope with losing?

I hate losing. Well, no one does, right? But each of us feels differently.

In general I could say I am bad sport. Well that's my nature so dont hate.

When it comes to individual 1v1 games, anywhere from slightly angry to 'red eye' rage where I could punch the guy's face inside out if I had him standing next to me. Especially in a games where you can taunt your opponents. But then again it depends what game I play.

If I play in a team and team mate fucks up I am going off at the guy, insulting and raging. And when my team loses I tend to blame a guy for fucking up.

When I am winning I am also bad sport. Taunting and insulting people I play with.

Yes yes, I am pretty much someone you would never want to play with do you D:

Well like I said, some people are gracious some not. But I have big respect to gracious people.

I find it depends on the game. I find it hard to play a lot of competitive CS games in a row because losing gets me riled up. I tend to shout at my PC a lot when playing Overwatch as well.

 

[TrueBias]

Depends on how fast i can get back in there. When playing DOOM back in the day all the way up to Team Fortress/Unreal, if i died, i was right back in the mix getting revenge.

Starcraft would fucking devastate me cuz of the time it would take to build a base just to see it torched.

Diablo 1 & 2 sucked cuz of hackers stealing my loot. We dont speak on the retarded lil brother D3.

Dead Island had some assholes hacking the game just to kill players. No benefit to it other than earning an Irritation Award.

City of Heroes and Villains i loved. But it was the only time i paid full price x2 for multiplayer only games.

Borderlands was mostly cooperative so i cant really say anything.

I think the first multiplayer game i had that i hated was i believe the first counterstrike that came with Half Life. If you died, you laid on the ground just waiting for the round to end. Fuck that dull shit.

See that? Almost all the games i mentioned have SINGLE PLAYER options, (correction: primaries) with multiplayer being the second resort.

 

[Pittie Petey]

I dont care, its just a stupid video game

 

[Theprospect26]

The only ones that get my blood boiling sometimes are FPS like COD and Battlefield. Especially when I KNOW I shot first and should have won a gunfight. I won't throw a hissy fit or anything like that, but i'll make comments out loud like "cmon man" "Are you fucking kidding me?" and "What the fuck?!" lol

I know that feeling bro. In particular games like Starcraft. I started playing online again and I had a terrible game today that pretty much set me to make this thread.

I played Age of Empires 3, 2v2 with 40 minute treaty to build base and so on. I made 8 layers of walls and I didnt noticed enemy builder sneaking behind my base. He quickly build barracks and send hordes of cavalry with 1 sec build. When I saw my 2 factories razed and farmers getting killed I just quit in 10 secs. When your supplies get cut out you might as well quit straight away. Pissed of AF

I just had 1v1 game (won) with a guy who had pretty much good idea but lost because he run out of resources.

 

[MidgardSerpent]

I would consider myself a good sport in general, played starcraft/broodwar and starcraft 2, Mass Effect multi-player and currently playing Dota 2. No game has ever made me rage as hard as dota 2 though, it's the most toxic playing community I've ever played in. Rager, quitters, feeders, or just flat-out horrible players that will always blame the rest of the team for going 0-8 as a carry. But no, I don't rage just because I lose, it's either gloating from the opposite team or more often the sabotaging and immaturity that comes from within your own team that can get extremely frustrating.

Also people, tend to give up far too easily, throwing tantrums or going 'gg' when the game is still perfectly 50/50 is just stupid, even had people go nuts in situations where we were ahead.

 

[Crimson Fury]

I don't really care if I lose. It's only irritating if it's lag or something stupid happens (like killing myself in Destiny just by swinging a sword).

It's hilarious when other people rage though.

I used to competitively play COD4 back in the day a little too much. Doing hundreds of gamebattles and playing non stop in a toxic environment filled with cancerous people. By the time MW2 came out I was so sick of the game I was getting enraged every time I picked up my controller so I just quit COD then and there. I hadn't touched a COD since MW2 until I bought the IW + MWR package a month ago and holy shit it's even more enraging now. I can only play 1 or 2 games before the bullshit consumes me and I rage quit lol.

 

[WalkenWouldOwn]

Me when I lose - {<hngg}


Nah it's not that bad. I don't like losing but I'm in my 30s with a wife and kids now, it's not that important lol. Used to get very rustled playing madden back 10+ years ago.

These are all the behaviors of people who have not matured to adulthood.

I imagine that if you quit age of empires like that, then you're probably one of the people who rage quit EA UFC 2 as well, as per the stickied thread.

It shows that you're very immature and haven't developed coping mechanisms or normal behavior patterns.

Being competitive is OK, but if you lose just chalk it up as a learning experience and either try again or log off. Personally I would prefer it if players like you logged off, it would better the whole community.

If you're at the point of screaming and wanting to punch someone, it's obvious that you're not suited to playing games.

And quitting 40 min into an age of empires game? That's just a bitch pussy move, you wasted the other players time and are incredibly selfish.

 

[John Stockton]

It depends how invested I am and how long my session has been. Both heavily contribute to saltiness.

 

[Phelly2]

For me, this comes down to the degree of difference between my perception of my own skill vs my perception of my opponent's skill.

If I think I'm the god-king of this particular video game, and I just lost to someone I consider an inferior player, I tend to get more butt hurt about it.

If I lose to a pro player, or if I haven't quite mastered the game yet, I don't care quite as much.

The point at which I start to care about whether I lose is after I start to consider myself "better than these noobs".

Who de fook is that guy?

Psychologist or something? Are you give me some advice on anger management then sir?

Yeah don't quit, it's weak.

Rocket league, if some guy gets a bit cheeky I'll offer him a 1v1.

Last night a guy was telling me to get good cause his team won 3-2 despite him getting about 70 points, we won the next game 4-1, he then said it again so I offered him a 1v1 in which I beat him 13-3.

Luckily I'm so immature I can tell you to go fuck yourself and keep raging at my computer.

If you lose to noobs then that should be a realization that you aren't as good as you think.

I lose all the time. To play any competitive game, especially a fighting game, is to learn how to lose. This is even more important when starting out.

Anytime you start looking to blame your loss on your team mates, noob tactics, over powered bs... You never improve. You need to understand what you did wrong and fix it.

I'm not saying to be fine with losing. You don't want that to be goal, but you need to find a balance between rage and apathy.
