There are the bad personalities, which often aspire to become the worst "noobs", unwilling to learn, listen and suggest. And the friendlier and more rounded personalities, who aspire to learn and put advice to use in a contructive manner. People who analyze the situation, without first casting blame on everything and everyone besides themselves in a fit of fury and rage. Those are the noobs nobody likes. As most people have already stated in this thread, I believe. | ||

Your overall game experience is being degraded because of their existence. That's why people hate noobs so much. Starcraft has team games too you know. Although I only play team games for fun, it really is infuriating to be paired up with someone in 2v2 who goes mass DTs. | ||

The word is pretty much reserved as an insult, there aren't too many self-admitted noobs (or maybe just an overwhelming number of oblivious idiots). | ||

Second, to go with the first reason, without face to face contact, it is easier to bitch someone out without consequence. Without face to face contact, people wont feel as sympathetic to a new person either. When someone isn't playing well, more experience people on their team will get frustrated and just go with insults instead of helping them out. Third, avid gamers probably don't have a chance to feel better than others in real life nearly as often as theyd like to. They might be made to feel inferior in their normal life, so they want to make up for it when they play games. It feels good to be better than people at something, and putting people down online probably enhances this feeling of superiority. | ||

When I tried to get into HoN and QL after quitting WoW, all I would get is 'teal leave' or 'leave tdm, quit browser'. I really liked those games but never even got a through a noob-labeled game without some sort of abuse. In the end, even though I wanted to get good at those games, it's hard to spend your precious free time being abused. I remember playing ROC DotA and getting quizzed about items cost to see if I was a noob. at some point after getting quizzed enough I'd learn the quizzing patterns and memorize the costs and I could finally start playing DotA regularly | ||

The ones I get angry at are the ones that join my very hard or insane computer games when I'm trying to just take a break and have fun for a few minutes. Seriously guys, if you can't beat a medium computer by yourself, what the hell are you doing queuing vs insane in team games? | ||

I could go play a garbage game(ie. LoL) which is noob friendly(respawning rax's, good idea), but skill and game mechanics are a must, im not saying im the best, im saying im one of the better player's, who wants to play with equally good players, i have no issue's losing in a game that was well played by both sides, i might even say GG. But losing because of someone else(noob) is infuriating, everyone DOES make mistakes, but if you can't make up for them, at least in DotA, expect to be flamed(in fact i have many fond memory's of flaming noobs out of games, from both my team, and the opponents, playing with 3 friends meant there was always room for 1 pub noob to be on our team), even winning against noobs is irritating. For Starcraft/2, i dont really care, its 1v1, thats cool, of course i get pissed when they do some BS cheesy strat, but when i win, it just makes it that much more sweeter. for 2v2+... see above. | ||
