Games that made me rage

[munx13]

So I've quit MOBA games recently, after 1000+ LoL rounds and around 20 hours of Dota 2.


No matter which game it was (LoL or Dota 2) I would very often get pissed and angry, start flaming everyone and get flamed back, to the point where the chat window would be nothing but cancer and death wishes from players of both teams (myself included ofc.), sometimes even if I was winning.

In all the years I've played CS, Unreal Tournament and other competitive games this sort of rage only happened to me in MOBA games, so I've decided it's best if I stopped playing for my own good.


Has anyone on the Escapist had or have a similar problem? What game was it? Any idea why this game in particular causes this?

In MOBAs, it's a big deal, beacause another team mate can really fuck your chances of winning if they play poorly.

For instance, I was playing DOTA 2 yesterday as Slark, I was fed to high heaven, and we still lost because 2 of our 5 teamates were just really freakin' bad at the game, just diving at towers and being crap in teamfights.

Makes me rage so hard.

Still love the game though.

Yeah well, Slark isn't exactly the best hero to be carrying. Maybe stick to your Riki =P

But yeah, MOBAs/ARTS can and WILL make you rage due to bad teammates. I have my own team I trust (more or less) so it's not too bad for me. If you can get your own group of friends to play with, you'll probably rage less.

Team based games with random teams is mostly always rage inducing, my solution is to go find another server or concede the match however this is how I avoid going all tourette's guy on the team. I think the best example I have is mmo battleground or similar. A wow Battleground with a bad team can take up to 20 minutes depending on which map it is.

Funny thing i never got angry in LOL. in fact i ALWAYS would vote agaisnt give up just to play agianst stronger opponent longer and manybe learn something.

however antoher team based game - WOrld of Tanks got me raging sometimes. though not as much as others in my clan did but still. when you got 14 teammates who seem to be either brandead or monkeys with internet and they even call you idiot for being the only person who actually did ANYTHING. when your tank hides in the corner behind everyone, this made me rage. but then we woudl come in 3-man packs with the clan and we use the idiots for bait so sometimes we 3 woudl clear whole 15 opposing team guys. but thats assuming the opposign team is idiots. we were good, in the top 10% according to ratings, but still you cant take 3 vs 15 in a head to head.
Thinknig about it makes me rage.
Though i ahve stopepd raging for a long of things, im a peaceful gamer. nto going around "u mad bro" type, but i just better shut up and play the game instead. I can udnerstand how others rage though, i used to be that guy.

P.S. capcha this time is unreadable

Oh how did I know this was a LoL/DOTA thread before I opened it? Yeah it can suck sometimes, but when i'm playing Champions I find fun to play in general I don't really care if i'm losing. Plus our very own Padwolf inflicts me with her endless positivity whenever we play so there's that XD

Totally did not go 1/8/10 with Jayce yesterday >.<

I never really rage in general, I just get de-motivated



I used to rage at UMVC3 because I hit the brick wall of super slick stylish MLG synergy swag teams in Ranked. Seriously I was PISSED. Then I randomly noticed I was having zero fun with the game so why the fuck am I playing it so seriously? What goes this generic number next to your name even matter? Protip: It doesn't. Zero rage now XD
