PixlBit

I remember the very first time I ever played Call of Duty 4 online with people. They were raging that I was a level 1 noob and blah blah blah..

I may not have known the maps, but I finished it on Veteran difficulty before I played so I was well aware of how to play the game. By the end of the match I had the best k/d ratio of my team and instantly jumped to level 4 or 5.

I suppose the moral of my story though is that people should try to learn the basics of the game before they instantly try to jump online and be tough. I knew what to do before I jumped online, and I absolutely crushed it by doing so.

Yeah, that's a good idea. The problem with LoL though is that it only has a very limited tutorial, and then you're on your own. I played with Bots for ages until I found a hero I was comfortable with though, and I'd advise others to do the same.

This is why I am not the biggest fan of online multiplayer.  So many dicks.

I usually hate multiplayer, but for some reason I got addicted to LoL... Still don't know why.

I know some trolls get their lulz on by playing exceptionally bad in online games. In this case I think you had the right to be a bit miffed regardless. Not only did this guy play like shit but he was a self entitled little prat too. "Hey, honor me for sucking so bad,duuuuh!'

Normally I say "Hey, it's just a game!" and I don't get upset at people. However most people I game with genuinely try and give it their all so even when they die I know that it isn't because of a lack of enthusiasm,passion,and interest. (Some deaths are even funny and fun to joke about. lol.)

But this guy simply seems rotten to his jaded lil core!

Yeah, even when I have a bad player on my team, I'm usually nice to them, and I'll give them advice over the chat or something, but this guy just really annoyred me. Btw, you should totally play it with me sometime. I want to get a pixlbit team together!

I imagine its the pure gall of asking for praise and then getting abusive with you when you were honest, we ve all been there bro, I remember countless times having to leave a COD zombie game due to sheer stupidity. I know theres a balance and everyone has to start somewhere (like watching me get whooped at ACM deathmatch) and whilst I have on occasion been onthe receiving end of game rage due to a few bad plays across a number of games it sounds like he got what was coming. Plus having a conscience about it means that your not a gaming ass. Worse than your rant at this lad is the 'holier than thou' attitude that permiates some gamers minds!

Yeah. I have a friend like that. He thinks bad players shouldn't play at all. I'm like really? You used to suck terribly...

You are a bad person and you should feel ashamed of yourself. Now send me a gift basket in the name of honor.

Honor? Honor? I'll show you honor when I shove my foot up up you - ah forget it. *gives gift basket*

He probably was a 7 year old not being supervised got dads game and trying to play not really realising he was pissing off his hole team then got his feeling hurt and started raging, im not the best at games like CoD etc but at the same time if i cant help a little i get out of the way and try my best to help my team, but this is why i dont like playing online.

Yeah. I was annoyed that he wasn't following our advice either. We told him to change lanes because he was trying to take mid, which a beginner really shouldn't do. We told him to go jungle, because he might be good at that and at least if he died he wasn't feeding the other team.

You're the reason I never got into LoL! Haha nah I never experienced any rage whilst playing. I could never get into the mechanics of the game, I just didn't find it interesting enough.

I didn't used to either. I found once I found the right hero though, I really enjoyed it. The game is really deep once you get a hold of it, and trying out different builds is a joy!

The game does a poor job of training new players. There is not much of a tutorial to speak of whatsoever. You really need to play with your own friends and work together.  Even then, you have to go outside of the game to study it before really getting involved.

I disagree with your decision to verbally abuse the player. Team work means you work together, and being a community driven team-work game you are going to encounter bad players and it will affect your stats. This is the main reason there is so much abuse in this game, one bad player will turn a 20min session into a grueling 1 hour grind. I found that giving bad  players advice during chat and directing them into what to do is a lot more helpful than being a dick. Even worse, if it was a kid he might have taken your words personally. 

If he was being a dick, then he probably deserved to take some heat. The game is good at generating spiteful pricks. LOL.

We gave him advice. I didn't abuse him until the game was finished and he asked me to honor him. I told him I reported him for being a bad player and that would help him be matched up with people closer to his skill, and he told me he reported me for a bunch of stuff and that I was gay and a terrible player and whatnot so I snapped.

 I've had bad players before, but usually they'll apologise or ask for help, not act like they're better than everyone and ignore help from everyone. Even the other team hit all chat and told him to jungle because it was getting ridiculous.

Well fuck that guy then! I don't like to see players get bashed either way. It's hard to watch and makes me uncomfortable. How did you get so good at the game so fast? I haven't played in a while. I might have reverted back to that sucky kid that gets bashed. 

I remember trying out a healer/support. They aren't really used for death/kills, or are they? I was just healing everybody on my team keeping them alive and they were all like kill something, which kind of defeats the point of that class. Sometimes people who claim to know how to play are also wrong. 

I have no idea. I just stuck to one player and got really good with him, and built him up with the ability to escape when shit goes south. When most people would run away, I can get a few more hits in and then escape. I can't play as anyone else though. I'll have to learn soon in case someone takes my character.

 Also, it doesn't matter if you suck. It's more if you take advice and don't act like an asshole. That was my problem with him. He lost, he was a dick, and he expected to be rewarded for it.

Really bad you had to go through that. Because I don't play much online games (or should I say rarely), the only experience to an annoying player was in the online mode for Resistance: Retribution and a group of campers from the enemy team. The good thing is that their camping didn't really last long.

Yeah... Still you should play LoL! I am determined to get a pixlbit team going. Doesn't matter how terrible you are, it's just for fun!

I stick to Free For All and Deathmatch gaming online to avoid such matters. I do respect team players and their desire to win matches. If a person is not willing to do their best to help the team they should not play team matches at all. That is simply messing around with other's enjoyment of the game. I say the fellow deserved what you told him. Not that he probably cared or learned anything from it. These kind of people seem to pride themselves on being asswipes.

Yeah. I mean, if you want to do that, play dominion, where dying is nowhere near as important as normal. Actually, you might like dominion. It's like Conquest in battlefield or domination in CoD except a little bit more strategic.
