RAGEQUIT!

[spacepope22]

There's been a lot of ragequits lately in TF2, for obvious reasons. It's funny though, because after some of them leave, we would win the match.

 

[Torrasque]

This guy sounds like a massive douchebag.
And the kind of guy that I LOVE to make rage quit when playing MW2.

 

[Flutterguy]

Well really your asking more then one question but I'll give one answer...he's sounds pretty douche to me.

 

[Triangulon]

I don't tend to rage quit because of the joy one gets from finally recovering, or killing the guy who is dominating you. It has its place though, lets face it it is hillarious to cause rage quits!

 

[Techno Squidgy]

The only time I rage quit is when I'm already in a bad mood and I just cannot be bothered to carry on playing.

For instance, having a fairly bad day, decide to play some CoD4 to blow off some steam. Entire server is filled with guys using grenade launchers. play for 5 minutes, "No, fuck it, I can't handle this right now.".

Went and played Mario Sunshine XD

I love causing rage quits just through being persistent. Repeatedly stabbing someone who's acting cocky over chat in any game

 

[iLikeHippos]

yes i am the rage quit guy off of rooster teeth XD

Pfft, no. LtmKilla always promotes excellent grammar, YOU MOTHER #####!!!
And he's got some damn taste of wittiness when it comes to insults...

All in good fun, now. Don't take it harshly.

OT; You do realize there's a fun video series of rage quitting? Youtube it .

Personally, more often than not do I NOT ragequit, but I'll curse throughout the game a lot. Especially when I die in a manner I find unjust... Which is kind of, 60% of the time.

I don't RAGEQUIT, I *getsannoyed* quit.

And even then, only in COD when some [REDACTED] has gotten 4 chopper-gunners in a row and I'm sick of spawning onto 12 or so bullets.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I'm infinately patient on my own and try to have fun whatever happens but if the team I'm in is obviously so fail it's completely beyond redemption then I'll bail or go off and just get kills.

Back when I played WOW one time in WSG I was on my rogue and a twinked up shadow priest was graveyard farming everyone, I spawned stealthed and managed to kill her before the other team could get to me. They basically put all thier eggs in one basket and we were able to 2-3 them which was cool. I tend to judge the situations as they come.

I only ever played Total War online. Whenever I was on the receiving end of a severe arse kicking, I'd say screw it and banzai all my dudes (even my archers) into the nearest enemy. Better to go out in a blaze of glory than to retreat like a coward. I know there is an admit defeat button, but tis not as fun as yelling in the mic/typing in the chat box "BLUBLUBLUBLUBLUBLUBLBULUB" as you charge all your goons to their doom.

That's pretty hilarious, I'd love to be on the receiving end of that.

OT I'm quite prone to rage quits [especially on cod] not because I'm losing, but because you have one of those games where nothing, and I mean nothing goes right, run around with assault rifle? Get sniped. Snipe back? Get stabbed. Getting stabbed loads? Well there's nothing you can do against that arsehole strategy, since people running at you with marathon seem to be made out of titanium or something.

Another thing that will make me rage isn't losing, but losing because my team has the collective IQ of a piece of wet cardboard. The main things they do in Cod is;
Camp out, in capture the flag / sabotage.
Run around trying to quick scope and getting destroyed by someone who isn't a complete tool, and fuelling their killstreaks.
Doing everything in their power to not get the objective.

Halo;
Quitting early
Taking the power weapons and running away, instead of waiting for the banshee / tank to come along and annihilate us.

Things like that would make me rage, but just losing? No. Your friend sounds like the worst human you could find online. Defeat makes us stronger.

What I hate is when people who quit during FIFA. I mean seriously, so many people on that game quit when you start beating them too badly. It becomes an art trying to win, but not win so badly that they quit.

In team games it isn't as bad, since they can get replaced by someone else and the match goes on, but in one on one competition it's infuriating. Plus, if you never play against someone better than you, you can't improve, so what is the point? I'd quite like to visit the houses of everyone who quits and destroy their Xbox 360 for being a massive douche.

Plus, in FIFA the achievements are fucked up because they don't count disconnects, The achievement of playing 100 games online took me 130 games, because there were about 30 disconnects. Plus, the achievement of winning five games in a row is almost impossible, because it resets if someone quits on you. I had 6 matches in a row the other day, but because on of them quit before the match finished I didn't get the achievement.

A friend of mine has recently gotten a knuckle tattoo. For anyone who isn't already aware, knuckle tattoos are the finishing touches on any loser's desire to make himself unemployable. They typically consist of eight letters, but they invariably read "IM STUPID" no matter what is actually written there.

Now, this friend of mine considers himself a professional gamer. His Gamertag consists of annoying characters that signify his relationship with other players who are on his team. He studies the maps of whatever game he's working on. His K/D spread is always at least 2:1 no matter what game he's playing. He has never made a single cent off of this profession. He is terrible at any game that is objective-based rather than straight Deathmatch. He does not concern himself with taking out large, difficult enemies that only count as one kill. He only ever uses sniper rifles. He never loses.

Why does he never lose? He never finishes a game he can't win.

This man employs the art of Ragequitting to a ludicrous extent. I have never seen such pride in one's tendency to run away from fights. He believes it's a legitimate strategy used by real gamers who know there is nothing to gain from getting shut out by someone who is better than you. All gain is only achieved by stomping someone who wasn't playing nearly as competitively as you. The game punishes for leaving early? No problem! He unplugs his modem, and no penalty is laid.

And now his knuckles read "RAGE QUIT" (or as we have learned from earlier "IM STUPID," though in his case, I'd argue "AND ALSO A FAG" should be added).

Is this normal? Do people actually think running away from fights you can't win makes you a winner? Do you know anyone else who is this joyless in the act of virtual killing?

You're argument/story was interesting and well written until you threw in some random homophobia. Thanks. Or was that irony?

 

[Danceofmasks]

What the fuck ... there's more to learn from losing than winning.
Until, of course, you're so badass you almost always win straight up.

So .. RAGE QUIT also reads I AM A NOOB

It was a joke thrown in by an adult who knows when and when not to take words seriously. I'll get in this argument right now if that's what you want, but you have to be out of your skull to think that was a homophobic remark.

That has eight letters. I smell an idea.

There is one way quitting can equal victory, when you quit just to spite your teammates.

Example time!:

Once upon a time a man in his early twenties was playing a game of League of Legends, he was new to the character he was playing as but by no means was our intrepid hero doing badly.

Unfortunately the big bad cockends on his team decided that because our hero tended to be the only survivor of fights gone wrong due to being ranged support and knowing when to run they all decided to blame him! Our brave hero endured the waves of abuse for a full ten minutes before finally succumbing to pettiness and deciding that despite the game looking like a victory for his team he would quit the game and laugh and laugh at their inevitable defeat.

Yes, it was a moral victory.

I've been in similar situations. Like I said, the game I'm good at and played a lot for a couple of years recently was Halo 3. But in that game, the MVP is highlighted immediately after the fight. Even if your team LOST, you can still win MVP. So what do I do when everyone is blaming me for everyone else sucking dick? I wear my MVP status like a boss. And I usually got MVP status. I'll gloat here and now, but I never teabagged and I never talked shit. I let my scores do the talking. Even if I wanted to blame someone for how bad our team was doing, when the MVP was listed as ilovemyLunchbox, I really didn't need to care about what anyone else had to say, because Halo thought I was more valuable than them.

cut,

In Fighting Games, Rage quitting is very common. It's sad, but I LOVE catching them. Sometimes, they send me some salty messages.
What's nice(to me at least) is that there is a site to post players Rage quitting in several games. http://www.rage-quitters.com/

 

[Azo Galvat]

I rage quit when my team is being worthless and we're getting stomped. And even then, I usually take all of my losses, no matter what.

But it's no fun getting stomped repeatedly, so leaving to find a new lobby or game is a pretty fair tactic, especially if half your team left before the game even started. This guy sounds like he sees it too much.

That's usually in shooters right?

 

[Danceofmasks]

Well, on topic, there really isn't a problem with quitting for any reason, so long as:
It counts as a loss if you do.

I mean, it's what happens in starcraft ... nobody every plays to the end (every building somebody has is destroyed), but they'll concede defeat and quit.
