Ragequitting to deny someone a victory

[Look-a-Hill]

I don't, but I really want to a lot when I'm playing Fifa and I'm nothing is going right for me and I'm getting hammered cause my opponent is using either Chelsea or Real Madrid. No skill involved other than Drogba and Ronaldo overpowering everyone or outpacing them.

Or people who celebrate goals and watch replays and just waste your time. I want to play the game, not watch your boring goal.

I've only rage quieted in single player, if I loose in multiplayer I just go "FFFFFFFUUUUUUU-"

Just like that guy. I don't really care if people look down on me for it but I refuse to allow spammers to claim victory. I'm not too good on fighters so I don't know how to adequately counter the spam onslaught. I play online for fun and if some fag is spamming a single power move, I get angry and no longer have fun.

I have rage-quit several times in games such as mw2 where your team can either make you or break you. When I see that someone has dropped a nuke that was completely hollow, (taking notice of how some of your teammates are 1-17 or 1-19) it feels like a dishonorable move but expected. especially when it looks like your team sees it coming from a mile away but still chooses to do nothing about it. Or in instances where your KDR is the only one that is positive on your team and you feel like your being held back almost. I may sound irrational but it is just the way I feel.

I cannot blame you.

I rage quit, or just quit when someone's using an aimbot.

 

[omega_peaches]

The only time I quit when I was losing was when the power went out...

Spoiler: Holy Shit! I cannot blame any of you. Modern Warfare 2 is beyond broken. They have to fix this ASAP...but they won't.

I made a few people rage quit in MW 2 because I was running around knifing and they were convinced that I was somehow hacking, my score didn't help much. Also in League of Legends, when I play a character I am good with and start to go on killing sprees, people just quit complaining that the team they are with is n00b and that they are good. Its dumb, why not stay and get your bonus instead of being a *****?

It really depends what you consider a rage quit, I know sometimes when playing L4D2 I use quickmatch a lot and if I join a completely terrible team I'll just leave, I really don't feel like suffering through a match with a bad team when I just joined.
But then I think there are some cases where raging is justified. For example I tried for like a month to get my realism accomplishment in L4D2 (I still think it is one of the most poorly conceived modes ever) and I'd always make it with one group or another to a finale or the level before the finale and while the previous levels went fairly decently people just got pants on head retarded for absolutely no reason. After like 8 or so tries on the same section and we make no progress I just leave.
Also cases where another team or players are being complete jerks, I'll just leave, I'm playing a game for fun I don't need to hear a bunch of prepubescents yelling in my ear ruining my enjoyment of a game.

That said I rarely leave a game or rage quit when it actually involves screwing some one over, I usually finish the match and then leave to join another server.

Also lag can sometimes be a big factor, I think out of the 3 or 4 games in MW2 that I've actually left before the match was over was due to terrible lag for everyone except the host, who used his good ping just to completely roll everyone.
I don't think me leaving has actually ever cost anyone a victory.

I rage wuite, but never to the extent that you showed in the video.

lets say some fool gets a ac-130 or a chopper gunner in MW2, then spawn kills my 3+ times in a row. Im gonna rage quite because that is just so fucking stupid and not fun that I cant play the game without anger.

I sold that game because of shit like that, now I play TF2 where you cant be spawn killed

I only ragequit when the situation is god-awful. Take this situation, for example. I was playing HQ pro on MW2. The entire enemy team has either the FAMAS or UMP .45, always with a tactical knife pistol as the secondary. They also all had Semtex, so they would just send barrages up at the capture point whenever we were anywhere near it. It was horrible. The game was about half way through (with them in the lead of course) when a barrage of harriers and precision air strikes came in. I proceeded to ragequit after screaming at my TV. My friend (who miraculously had the willpower to stay in the game) told me that the enemy had gotten a nuke not long afterward. Ridiculous.

I rage quit alot, especially back when I played MW2. Why sit and fight for a team who doesn't have a fucking clue what to do and against people who are all using glitches, cheap tactics, overpowered weapons... Man I've got to buy Source

I've quit in the middle of a MW2 match once (as far as I remember). Reason being that I was having an off day and had no kills. Figured someone else could join and actually help the team.

I don't know if that was a "ragequit" but I wasn't feeling angry at the other team, just myself.

well My brother has had that problem countless times on MW2 and swears up a storm. It pisses me off. I'm usually sitting here commenting on threads, and he is like "GOD fuuucking Dammit!!"

I lulz a bit, but then it gets annoying really really quickly.

Rage-quitting is a pathetic thing, and not tactically smart if you are on the losing end. Doesn't anyone read The Art of War anymore?

If fighting is sure to result in victory then you must FIGHT!

Sun Tsu said that... and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than YOU DO PAL because he INVENTED IT... and then he PERFECTED IT until NO living man could BEST him in the ring of honour.

Then he used his fight money to buy TWO of every animal on earth. Then he herded them onto a BOAT... and then he beat the crap out of every single one of them.

And that's why any time a group of animals are together in one place it's called a ZOO!

UNLESS IT'S A FARM.

I was like "Wtf is this guy on..." then right when you said "Herded onto a boat" I started knowing what it was, then I just laughed and laughed.


Thanks for making my day better.


OT: I don't ragequit.

But I do rage.


I will make you cry if you do a shit job on Domination in MW2. Like seriously. I've made two 12 and younger cry, and I made a 12 grader cry.

I made my best friends little brothers cry in the game.

We don't play MW2 together anymore.

(I am really trying to stop, but Domination is such an easy gametype to win, I have no reason to)

If I join a game of demolition on MW2 where it is the last ten seconds of the game(it happens a lot to me), I quit simply because I don't want to choose my class and then BOOM, waiting for 50 seconds.

Also on fighting games like street fighter 4, say there's a guy as Ken spanning shoryuken and literally nothing else, I'll just be like "fuck this" and quit, because it's the move spammers that do not deserve a victory.

Spoiler: Ah, the first post did not appear. I'll add another ragequitter one

 

[j1-2themax]

You know, I don't play much online multiplayer, but I think if somebody ragequits, they should get some kind of blemish on their record, like multiple losses or something similar. Sure, it might affect people whose connections legitimately drop, but I have to imagine it would cut down a lot of the ragequitting.

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

I would quite every once in a while in GW alliance battles if there were far too many leechers and people who thought you win by just killing people, because I'm not going to waste 20 minutes to not enjoy something.

Beat an opponent in SC4, but as the "KO" was coming down, opponent rage quit. Then they decided, to send me a message saying: "Haha!". I wanted to reach into the internet and choke slam the little twerp. My response was to send a message asking if the player was 5 years old, then put them on my block list as I didn't need to know the answer.

AH. I remember this from my SC4 rant. Whether Xbox 360, PS3 or the Wii online ragequitters piss me off to no end. If only you were the recording type. A very nice why to embarrass that player.

 

[Aura Guardian]

I think most online games should keep a counter in a profile that keeps count of how often someone disconnects during a game. So you know when you're playing with someone who has either a shitty connection or a habit of disconnecting when they lose.

I think that actually works.

When playing SF4 (PS3), I've only encountered a few rage quitters. That game shows disconnection %, so people are more aware of it. >3% is generally acceptable as that could be random connection issues (disconnects on it's own, lag quit, etc. Mine is 1% due to having the internet cut out on me a few times mid-match).

However, compare with Soul Calibur 4 (PS3), that game is a breeding ground for rage quitters and immature asshats who try to maintain a "perfect" record by quitting if they lose.

OP: A notable rage quit:

REally? I've never played street fighter four so I wouldn't know. But it's nice to know the idea I've been ranting about since I first played an online game was finally thought up by someone who works in the industry. Now you can know if the people you play with will disappear mid match (which would be helpful for games other then fighters too) or if they're just an asstard who can't handle a loss.

But yeah that happened to me all the time in SCIV. One time I almost had a guy beat and he ragequit. It wasn't even in a ranked match either, we were just playing "for fun" and he still quit. I ran into him later and beat him so fast he didn't have a chance to quit though. People in that game rage quit over ring outs too. I hate it, if they don't want to ring out then they shouldn't let themselves end up next to an edge.

I think Tatsunoko vs Capcom counts it as a loss. I'm not too sure though.

I did that a few times on L4D on the xbox with friends. Though I heard that L4D2 will have bots.

I hope it does, so so many times have I had a game ended because of ragequitters.

I use to play with a pre-made team and to us that was how you won at L4D/2.

Either your team rapes or the other team rapes, so the match is basically decided after 2 or 3 rounds. I've rarely played vs matches where its closely tied all the way through. So since its obligatory to use creative smack along with the rape, you expect people to ragequit. So I understand when people quit because they don't want to be dragged through a whole 10 rounds of rape.

That said at least L4D2 made the scoring system a little easier for comebacks, but still versus matchs are far too long when you know you're going to lose anyway, its a clear game design problem.

Rage-quitting is a pathetic thing, and not tactically smart if you are on the losing end. Doesn't anyone read The Art of War anymore?

I never leave a match, Mainly because I don't like it when someone leaves a match I am winning.

Cowards need to accept god damn defeat.

I never rage quit. If I die, I die an honorable death and give victory to my foe if need be!

Indeed people who fail to uphold e-bushido must commit seppuku with their keyboard!

 

[Haunted Herring]

I Ragequit only when my opponents are using using cheap tactics, like in MW2 2 Guys were working together with one man army, Danger Close and Grenade launchers. With stuff like that and Commando runners, guns feel severely underused.

 

[zehydra]

I never rage-quit, I don't get angry at other people online unless they're cheating (hacks).
