I learned, trust me when I say when I hit that third objective my base now covers as much of the map as possible and everything is built multiple times in multiple places. They hit my experimental resource generator? I have 2 more. They destroyed 4 galactic colossi? That was just one of several squads (I prefer UEF or Cybran but I beat the game as them already).x EvilErmine x said:

I've found that unofficial servers with regulars are typically mid, because I've seen some players that were in competitive in them alongside pub players that had a good amount of talent. You'd have to do some exploring, because some server providers also have servers full of low tier players moving up or there are certain times of the day when the slew of regulars won't be there. High tier is competitive itself (complete with password protected servers and rankings you need to maintain) or at the very least 6's/9's with potentially prospective competitive players.Flames66 said:
Valve servers are low tier/a grab bag. You never know what you're going to find, but because all you have to do is click "find match" I would imagine that a fair amount of beginners find their way into them alongside the occasional pubstomper who wishes to be a sadist.
That time when you get killed in Binding of Isaac when you defeat the boss, and a minion finishes you.
Nothing... I SAY NOTHING is more frustrating, especially if it's the final boss.
Other than that, in online games, I tend to quit more often than not due to technical issues, than anything else... last time I tried LoL (second and last time probably) I was disconnected two times while in the middle of the river and was promptly killed there... and all my team mates welcomed me with open arms... if, by open arms you mean "shouting, insulting and racist remarks" on my adress.
The first time I played LoL, I wrecked a chick with a bow with the only hero I like (Cho'Gath, since he makes OMNOMNOM sound during his ulti) and don't suck that much at, that she left the game, insulting me all the way.
I've made many opponents cry, rage and quit in Tactics Arena though. Those were good times.

I actually have video of me making a guy rage quite in Black Ops 2. But I'm gonna give a warning - this guy types some pretty offensive words (its on PC, nobody is shouting). Plus he said he was going to put my "hacking" on youtube, and since I have a youtube channel, I couldn't resist the irony (is this actually irony? I'm always confused of the situation).
What basically happens is he killed me from a staircase on the side of the map, a pretty common spot that ppl like to sit since they spawn very close to it. Well I ran back to that spot immediately after spawning and didn't see him, so I threw a concussion grenade and got a hit marker.
So then I took the long way to get to the staircase (there was a shock charge in my immediate path) and someone on my team popped a UAV radar, and his red dot was sitting there in the corner.
So I took my knife, jumped on his head, and stabbed him. He never even shot back.
He then proceeded to cuss me out, call me a hacker, telling me I was "youtubed" and then he left xD
EDIT: As for my own personal ragequits I don't really do such things. I never get mad enough at a game to do so. At the end of the day unless you are a professional player K/D and W/L don't matter at all - just play the game and have fun.

I think I take the prize for most beautiful rage quit in at least my area. Street Fighter 4 was my first ever fighter (I now know that's like giving a toddler a fixie bike and taking him up a mountain to learn how to ride it) I'd bought if for £6 and was excited to play it. On my third session with it I still couldn't do and any special moves and this fat fuck kept using a super to kill me. I got so angry I took out the disk bit into it with my teeth shattering it, then my mouth still dripping bits of disk I proceeded to smash the case until it exploded into little green bits of plastic.
It's a shame I binned the remains actually I did an impressive job on it. So yup I'm an angry lad... I have since bought SS4 again and learnt how to pull off a few wins as Guile, thanks to some tutoring from a friend.
E Honda is the fat fuck and I am the indistinguishable mess.
So I'm playing Player Matches in Tekken Tag 2. I run across this guy who just...not very good. Oh fuck it. I mopped the floor with him for the first two rounds (my team is Kunimitsu and Alisa for those wondering while he was playing as Paul and someone else)! Then for the third round, he obviously ragequits. I decided to message him one little word: "COWARD."
He replied saying something along the lines of "STFU! This is my first time playing, blah blah blah grumpy grumpy grumpy."
I responded "What's the point of buying a game if you're not even gonna play it? There are poor kids in Africa who wish they could afford games like these!"
Unfortunately this guy apparently had a good Troll Radar and didn't respond.

I play Blazblue. I main Hakumen. Hakumen has Zanshin (counters opponents attacks if they hit Hakus barrier). Zanshin does decent damage and leads into decent combos.
I have won plenty of matches by doing nothing BUT zanshin against easy players, stylish mode noobs, and even a few good players for the lolz. Wanna know how a good bunch of those matches might end?
With a big ol'rage quit because there is nothing more infuriating than an opponent who is essentially a brick wall that can punch you back.
Boy I do love using Hakumen... >
The only time I ever rage quit is if the fight was a laggy as fuck mess and that is less a rage quit and more me just giving up halfway through the slideshow that is the fight. Only real rage quitting I've done at all really is against people who abuse pink throws, because that scrubby shit is not something that should be rewarded with a win.

I have two, but they weren't really a comparative environment. One was when I was playing minecraft by myself, and I swear 50 creepers spawned within 100 blocks of my house. 20 minutes later it looked like I had gotten carpet bombed, so I called it a day
The next I was playing Dawn of War: Dark Crusade with a friend and 6 computers. He was attacking me the whole game so eventually I got fed up and retaliated. I fought all the way back to his HQ, and was in the process of destroying his Mars Pattern Command (building that makes a big-ass tank) when I get request for him to switch to my team. I thought it was a fun game and that we would beat the computers, but I was wrong. While I was killing the computers closest to me, he fills his vehicle and infantry cap, puts them in the middle of my base, and switches teams. Quit because I was more angry at the betrayal than losing (guess thats what I get for letting down my guard)

My worst Rage quit ever? Minecraft. Seriously. Sometimes you just get the worst luck, in the worst places, at the worst possible time. I never rage, otherwise, except with Borderlands 1 and 2 (but that never goes beyond a "Fuck, Frogger, Frick, Forage or just a glorious middle finger to the screen), it wasn't nearly as bad as the day of the Minecraft rage. Funny thing is, since I got better at the game, that is, more efficient, I realise that it was all over very little.
Let's just say, there was a couple of cardboard boxes behind me (I can't remember why), and they suffered greatly. Then i went and petted my cat and sat down with her for a while. then I had a lie down. I know, melodramatic as fuck. I was alone in the house, by the way, otherwise it prob'ly wouldn't have even happened.
But yeah, in most games, and in competitive gaming situations, I don't tend to rage, the only time I remember getting angry in a competitive game is when I got kicked from KF for "living". Some admins are just...not very good at their jobs. My crime was I said "Close one!" when he got ambushed by 3 sirens and survived. I was really steaming for a while after that.
I listened to this Scottish guy totally FREAK OUT over essentially nothing in Left 4 Dead 2, once. Seriously. I've never heard a guy scream that way over what was essentially just the game. He seemed friendly enough, when he was calm, though. Guess he was just the kind of person you have to keep on the good side of.
Actually, after reading a few other posts, I do quit, but not in a rage. Usually because I'm bored or just like "Well this isn't fun."

I don't speak or type during games and people who try to smack talk have no effect on me at all. I actually find people who do smack talk people less skilled players than themselves just purely for the fact they are better pretty sad and immature, people I might add normally QQ soon someone starts beating them.
Oh, I agree the A.I was dumb as dog shit. But as much as I enjoyed the first game there was just something so great for me to do with the second one. An A.I made for the Red Eye would have been great (Train Cannon was one of my favorite pieces of the game...too bad hijacking it is an unbelievable pain in the ass) as well as the level in the first chapter where you have to have 4 data posts running for...5 minutes? But yeah...that.rob_simple said:
I also tried playing Operation Raccoon City solo on Professional...never again...
A couple of times when playing Football Manager. One time, I'd had a brilliant season managing West Ham and got to the final game of the season in 1st place (dem free transfers), 2 points clear of the competition. Arsenal.
Problem is, I had Arsenal away last game. I really didn't want to lose out at the death (normally I'm fair, I've taken defeat in a few finals before but this I wanted to win), so I ended up resetting about 15 times until I won.
Other time was when I was playing Dortmund in the Champions League. They injured all four of my defenders. I tried to soldier on but got massacred the next game and decided that as that was ridiculous (they were all out for 4 weeks to a couple of months) I was well justified in quitting.
Basically my rule for that game is try not to quit, but in the case of extreme bullshit I won't judge myself too harshly.

I don't know about any other LoL players but sometimes you can tell that you've lost a match in the first minute of the game. This happened to me quite recently when I was playing Ezreal and had Lux as "support." Keep in mind that this was ranked and not actually in ELO hell (Silver II so not good but not at the bottom).
I could tell that we were going to lose as soon as I saw what my "support" had bought as their first item. A fucking Doran's Ring. For those of you who don't know, support NEEDS to buy wards or you are going to lose the lane. If their jungler is even remotely competent, all they have to do is look at everyone's inventory at the start and see who doesn't have wards. You can bet they are going to gank your lane if they know that you won't have any warning of them coming. This basically means that either you sit back extremely far and miss a lot of CS while hoping that your enemies push the lane so you can farm under tower or you get camped and die many times.
I sat back and farmed with my Q which would normally work out pretty well since Ezreal is one of the safest farmers but unfortunately my "support" didn't stop at not buying wards, she pushed the lane by doing her best to farm with all of her AOE abilities. So not only do we not have wards, we are pushed and my "support" is deliberately taking my CS. Naturally, Lux was ganked and killed. I escaped because of my E and because I was already back a lot farther than Lux. Lux came back and we were immediately ganked again. I once again escaped but Lux was once again killed (by their ADC both times btw).
So now I am in lane dealing with the worst support I have ever had and an enemy ADC who is 30 CS ahead of me with 2 kills. I decide that maybe we can come back if one of the other lanes does well. Our top lane was even with their enemy and our middle lane was only a little bit behind in CS with their enemy. Unfortunately, the enemy mid was Akali. She noticed that our lane was failing so she decided to come down and join in on the fun. I saw her coming because I had bought wards since Lux showed no sign of ever fulfilling her role. I pinged Akali and safely escaped but Lux in all of her wisdom decided to fight a 3v1. Of course she died and gave the kill to Akali.
For those of you who do not know, Akali is quite possibly the biggest snowballer in LoL. If she gets even one kill, she you use this to become a completely out of control monster. This is why she is currently so dominant in SoloQue. So, now we are dealing with a fed Akali and a fed bot lane and a feeding Lux. There are still 12 minutes left before we can surrender and our top lane has just left because he sees how futile our situation has become leaving us at in a 4v5.
I didn't want to waste 12 minutes of my time being stomped on so I left and that ladies and gentlemen is my most recent rage quit. Probably the first one in a long time. I did type GG WP to my enemies before I left. I'm assuming that I wasn't reported very much or at all since I have yet to receive a message from leaver busters.

I rarely ragequit, but when I do, I'm playing CoD or Uncharted 3 multiplayer. I've since given up on both. (Unless a buddy comes over and we just want to have some shits and giggles in Black Ops 2's gun-game with only knifing. Yeah, I'm that guy.)
My most recent example of ragequitting is fighting
for the first time on 1999 mode. God DAMN that was infuriating. Because when you die, she gets full health. And with all of those little zombie dudes she keeps summoning, it becomes god damn impossible to even land a few hits on her.
But then I saw a neat little trick on Youtube where you set all of your gear to melee focused items and only use charge. It was such an OP set-up, but it worked. ^-^

I don't ragequit unless there's input lag and it only seems to be affecting me and not the other person. Fortunately those moments are few and far between; I think the last time I openly ragequit was back when SCIV was still the rage.
So... let's see
Funniest Ragequit(s): I can't tell you haw many times people have ragequit on me in MK at the character select screen. Reasoning? I play Tomas "Smoke" Vrbada.
Most WTF Ragequit: This one happened in Blazblue: Calamity Trigger. I pretty much pounded on this poor schmuck with Jin, and while Jin was in his win pose, the other player ragequit. Yes, you read that correctly: during my character's win pose.
Honorable Mention(s): This one happened in a ranked match in SF4 ("vanilla," not Super or AE) with me using Sagat versus a Sakura player. I got lucky and managed to land a Tiger Knee (the move, not the input technique) and canceled into Sagat's Tiger Genocide super. Before the last hit actually landed - and would've won me the match - the only player ragequit.
I have no respect for ragequitters, but I take hate-mail with glee. It let's me know that I'm doing something right.
Good times.

No people don't get better randomly they get better at a fighting games through practice. Something that I suspect, from the nature of your complaints, that you're not doing enough of. Hell, it's what you should be doing for 99% of the time that you're actually playing the game. I know in UMvC3 that I don't take a team online or to a gathering until I have hours and hours under my belt with that team. It could even be a team that's comprised entirely of characters that I'm familiar with but if this is some new configuration then it's time for more cowbell...er...training room. That person who's doing those crazy swag combos and has all those setups has probably put a hell of a lot more time into the game than you have. It might not be as physically taxing but actually getting good at fighting games requires every bit the dedication and training as an actual sport. Also you know what, they could be the biggest swinging dick on the planet but if I played someone who was legitimately 50x better than me at SFIV or UMvC3 I wouldn't care if they styled on me or taunted after every round or character kill because I'd be focused on trying to learn even one iota of what they where doing that was making them effective so that I might apply it to someone else later. Here's a more expanded phrasing of what I said above: get better at the game or shut up about losing and that there's no excuse for ragequitting.The Wykydtron said:
I don't rage quit. Period. I think it's a dick move, if your opponent is better than you, let them get the win properly, don't just quit and waste everyone's time.
This is especially infuriating in fighting games, since I have to work DAMN hard to get a win there, and when I finally get one, a rage quit grinds my gears to dust.
But, I can think of one genuinely funny story involving a rage quit. It was in Left 4 Dead 2, and a guy rage-quitted me. No, I don't mean he rage quit ON me, I mean he rage-quitted ME. Allow me to explain:
So, we were on the final stage of a run, on the rooftop level, and everyone was in the chopper but me. I was running as fast as I could to the chopper, but I was getting swarmed by zombies. It looked like I was going to make it... but then one of the guys in the chopper used a sniper rifle and shot me in the head. That's right, he was sick of waiting for me, so he just shot me in the head to finish the level.
I should have been mad... but I found it hilarious.
