If you're competitive at games, you should be beating yourself up over missing larva injects or not last hitting a creep perfectly, or losing a track of an enemy hero while you're csing. | ||

I was pretty decent back when I played a lot. In Brawl, I can drunkenly mash at a controller while playing Lucario and never die. Brawl is fun, but they made it way too easy to recover.

I raged for the first time in several years last night, when I played mid Veigar, and died a couple times to a roaming Twitch that my allies decided to feed 11 kills to, so that he could 3-shot me. They then proceeded to spend 5 minutes calling me terrible and bad before I just /ignore all'ed. Soooooooo useful. :p I do use /ignore but only in dire circumstances. Generally, I like to report the worst ones, so the more specific complaints I have, the better. On November 10 2011 12:44 Chef wrote: Sore loser is the correct term.

But that really has nothing to do with the game. 1) As always, I exaggerated. 2) My father literally says things like "losing is not an option" and "there is doing and not doing, there is no 'try.'" I wasn't trying to be inspirational. 3) I really only get noticeably frustrated when I make a fool of myself in front of my boyfriend. Not sure why, because I can just royally suck in front of my friends and shrug it off.

In sports, you can drop the ball or miss someone, but it's the things that nobody will blame you for which makes you lose. Not putting in that extra effort in a run, or not covering your guy tightly because you're tired, having your feet in the wrong position. If you're competitive at games, you should be beating yourself up over missing larva injects or not last hitting a creep perfectly, or losing a track of an enemy hero while you're csing. I curse loudly over missed CS all of the time. Haha, never really get upset over it, just swear a lot. | ||

I only rage at my own mistakes though and I knew I wasn't playing at high enough level for race balance to matter so I never raged about balance. I have friends who rage at LoL/Dota if they have bad teammates, but if I'm in a situation like that, I take comfort in thinking that I'm not as bad as my teammates are. I feel horrible when I play like trash in front of my teammates though. My little brother rages hard at Gears of War 3 though, I should set up a hidden camera. :D | ||

I don't rage much at SC2, never raged much in Dota (mostly just utterly sad and frustrated, since there comes a point after your 25th death that you just realise there's no point to, well, anything). I rage like f**k on a golf course, though. If I was rich I'd probably be smashing half of my clubs every round in anger. | ||

Perhaps losing a lot changed it. Getting humbled on iCCup is a pretty valuable experience. | ||

If there is one thing i learned throughout the years its this - No one plays the 64 version. Melee is fine and all, and brawl was..... yea.. But nothings tops the 64 for me ^__^ I wish i could meet someone who could beat me in 64 smash.... D: Its like my dream friend. hah. Link + ness 64 ftw! Half the people i meet who play smash have not even played the 64 version before, or have like once. Makes me a saaaaad panda. | ||

I don't really understand the point of legitimately getting mad while playing a video game on a non-pro level. You're supposed to be having fun. Being competitive isn't really an excuse because if someone was truly competitive, then they'd know that raging doesn't help at all. Why is playing a game on a non pro level a reason not to get upset? Just because something isn't being played on a pro level, doesn't mean it can't be a serious competition. If anything, playing at a pro level should mean you try to control your emotion, because you are playing for money. Also, winning is a lot of fun. | ||

People who are not okay with losing tend to learn much slower.. My experience in athletics is the exact opposite. People that take losses devastatingly hard seem to work the hardest to prevent them from happening again. That is of course unless they just quit all together, but then they won't be continuing to learn at any rate so I assume that 2nd scenario should be tossed out. Side note: taking a loss hard does not have to equal tears and depression. | ||

Just to clarify, I'm talking about legitimate and lengthy rage fits, not short outburst. | ||

In my dorm we played 64 a lot, but switched to melee when someone bought a game cube. Ahh those were the days, smash every day. Senior year I played melee vs my roommate 1v1 every day loser walks out to buy lunch/dinner, it was fucking intense. | ||

Sometimes someone would walk out with $100 in their pocket. I guess my problem is ive never owned a gamecube! I did sport the dreamcast tho. There was only 3-5 of us that played it that much tho back in the day. The drinking games got really ridic..... hah. I did love the in-game tourny options with melee tho, that was a super nice addition. | ||

Only for Melee and Brawl, though, 64 was srs bsnss. I actually own my own gamecube controller, though not a gamecube. The controllers most people owned tended to be messed up, so I would always bring my own over with me to play with. | ||

I think of it as playing video games is something I invest my time into, while winning may be just as much a waste of time as losing, I definitely have a lot more fun when I'm winning. Its not a legitimate reason to ever get angry to the point where you make other people feel like shit because of it, but I don't see much wrong in being upset at yourself (especially in SC2 where I know what mistakes I made). | ||

the level of flame is huge. If you are being ganked heavily, you will be behind throughout the whole game and your team will flame you non-stop | ||
