5 Player Personalities That Cannot Handle Losing

By: Jonathan Kimak - Published: 2009-02-09

If you play any game long enough you are bound to lose every now and then. Most of us flex our hands, crack our knuckles and wait for the next match. But there are some people who cannot handle the strain of losing and end up going crazier than a glitched AI.

#5 The Rage Quitter

Rage

You're at a critical point in the game, maybe it's a CTF game where both sides are tied, or maybe your PUG is halfway through a three  hour raid when all of a sudden someone shouts "Fuck you all, I hate you" and then *poof* he's gone like a fart, leaving only the scent of moldy cheetos behind.

Like serial killers, rage quitters might appear quite normal at first. They speak well, make jokes and do their given task competently. But then, when something goes wrong, they disappear faster than a head cheerleader's virginity. And you and your remaining team mates are left to either continue on with a far lower chance of success or go back to a town to pick up another player, throwing hours of work away.

Rage Quitters are in some ways like someone with bipolar disorder. One moment they can be happy and exciting and fun to be around, but the meds wear off and they go from 0 to HULK SMASH AND QUIT in 3 seconds.

Hulk
HULK GO HOME!

#4 The Team Killer

Some games have a friendly fire option to make games a little more realistic. So if your buddy is securing a checkpoint and the enemy surrounds him you can't just lob a grenade in there to help him because he'll die. Of course that also means that your teammate might not be so thougtful and might accidentally blow you up.

TK

Then there's the Team Killer, who loves to kill anyone. Like any predator, however, they tend to aim for people even more retarded than they are. So if you're winning it's likely they can quench their bloodlust by killing new players. But once you start to lose and they get shot down more often, they turn traitor.

They start shooting you in the back, flipping over team vehicles and doing everything they can to make it even harder for the whole team to mount a comeback.

TK 2
Hehe! Fire!

It can get so bad that you actually hope that the TKer gets killed by the other team so that you have some time to escape your own base.

#3 The Aggro-vator

This is best known as pulling a  Leeeeroy Jenkins, named after the  video of a douchebag aggroing all the monsters on screen and wiping out his World of Warcraft teammates.


LEEEROY!

This doesn't only happen when your team is losing but can also happen when someone has to leave a game but for some reason feels the need to perform a virtual murder-suicide.  Everyone dies, the Aggro-vator laughs and then quits and will later find another team to pull this on. These guys make the rage quitters look good by comparison.

The Aggro-vator sees themself as a practical joker, having fun at other players' expense. But instead of coming out looking like the prank god Loki, they look more like a smirking Ashton Kutcher who just punk'd someone into having a heart attack.

You got punkwnt!
You've just been PunkPwnt!

#2 The Accuser

Ever met someone that has never in their life taken responsibility for anything that happened to them? That's the type of guy that ends up being the Accuser.

Accuser
J'accuse!

He gets killed in game and instead of "nice shot" he's screaming 'Oh my god you fucking hacker aimbot cheater cheater cheater." Then he's quiet for a minute until he gets hit again and spews out the same accusations. "You're a cheater, I'm too good to have been killed by a noob like you." Accusers are typically the worst players and wouldn't know a headshot from their asshole.

Eventually an Accuser will stop playing altogether and go on full whine detail in an effort to throw you off your game and get you to respond back instead of playing.

The thing that makes an Accuser so dangerous is that sometimes a game moderator might actually believe the crazy guy and end up banning you instead of the Accuser.

#1 The Turncoat

In real sports you may see some pretty stupid things happen, like a guy accidentally scoring on his own net in hockey. And while that player will spend months listening to jokes about the incident, the guy didn't skate to the other bench and switch teams.

In team PvP games, however, there are some players who, when their team starts losing, turn into Benedick Arsefaces and jump to the winning side faster than you can type noobfag.

So a good 8 vs 8 game turns into a less good 7 vs 9 game. And when one moron jumps ship all the mindless sheep jump with him and the once fun game is now a 4 vs 12 massacre. This can actually ruin the game for both sides. The winners have a victory akin to kissing their sisters, sure it's fun but it just doesn't feel right. The loyalists who stayed on the team despite the desertions are basically left to play total defense and at best can slow down the massive opposition before they get crushed.

And if the losing team somehow starts winning then the Arseface will jump back to their old team and claim victory and first prize for douchebag of the game.

The title doesn't make sense. The Aggro-vator and the team killer don't care if they lose. The Aggrovator intentionally loses just for fun. And the team killer normally knows that he deserves it when he dies.

The Accuser knows you're a hacker. He just KNOWS.

Also, let's be fair: it's hard not to ragequit sometimes. It's either that or let everyone know that my mic is viable as a cuss-funnel.

Some would know that <a href=http://www.bechristianlouboutin.com>christian louboutin shoes</a>ndred dollars for a pair of new shoes.So if there aren't any brand new with a discount this month.
what are those that they sell online? Many pair of that are being sold in auction sites may be second hand. ed hardy shoesThis is the perfect time for sellers to auction off their pairs because frustrated UGG enthusiasts would definitely turn to auction sites if they can't find what they want on regular sites.

Replica jerseys are becoming rapidly popular as regular attire. And therefore, you will notice many teenagers donning a Bill Russell or Oscar Robertson jersey in pubs, colleges and discos. In fact, even individuals who are not nba fans have started wearing these jerseys as a style statement.
