What "pro" gaming behavior ticks you off?

[delicious.delight]

the only honest way i could see probehavior as annoying is if you have vent and someone on there wont stop bitching.

but in terms of text and typing and teabagging: who gives a shit, i don't. you shouldn't either. it's the internet. people do that lulz. it kinda reminds me of dirty fighting. almost everybody would do it if they got into a situation where they had to fight, so one should assume that whoever he's against will be a dirty fighter, so one should fight dirty oneself.

same with trawlling and teabagging: do it too lul. it shouldn't matter nor should it piss you off, cause if it does you're pretty srsbiznus and chances are you're massively targeted by trolls.

but generally i like the pros cause they get pissed if you kill them in really retarded ways, and they're usually just as easy to troll as people who get angry from getting teabagged lulz.

if a pro was constantly killing me in an fps game chances are i'd end up switching to the bazooka and try to AOE and spray and pray RPGS.

When people beat me even though I try my best.. which is like all the time

I know I suck but why don't you just get lost. Damn people who are better than me.

Hey, join the club why do you think I'm on the computer and not playing X-box because I'm sick of watching killcams. I just don't get Call of Duty how do you get good? It seems immpossible

Well I've only played CoD once and it was against my mate and I thrashed him even though its his favourite game. So now I never play again so I can hold that one victory over him. So to answer your quesiton I have no idea how to get better, I'm just lucky.

spawn killers hard scopers and campers whith shotgun and than you ask'em to play nice they say that you're getting owned cos you are a bad gamer that don't make any sence

That's because you're an utter fuckwit and they weren't nearly as willing to say as much to you with their cloak of +4 internet anonymity as I am. I have sex with my girlfriend, drink casually, and don't both training for things I don't find entertaining, though I do coach a 'sports' team, to use your vague term from your 'two sports' line. I don't play video games my every waking moment, and whether you realize it or not being a teacher is actually a very time consuming job. Do any of these facts matter at all? Naw, not really, but since you shared your life story I thought I should share mine. Otherwise I'd have you at a tremendous disadvantage.

So, why do I expect you to pay attention to what's going on when you play a video game with me? Because if you're only ever going to be playing while you're 'wasted' at your 'parties' you're actually hurting everyone else's enjoyment of the game. That's why they're hostile with you. Now, these hostile people you were attempting to characterize do exist. They're a sad sort who only play with other people like them, and only until those people decide that they are too 'lolol nub' to play with them, and then they sulk off to a new group that is 't0o pr0 4 u' until eventually they pick up a new game and starts the circle of life all over again. However, with you? I think it's well warranted.

Of course, that's just my assessment from your 'bro' attitude you just displayed.

"LOLOLOL VIRGINS LOLOLOLOL I R HAZ LIF SO GUD I HAZ 2 BRG"

Even if they are 19 year old virgins going to some community college... Their conservative nature is none of your damn business and has nothing to do with their worth. Maybe they're one of those rare high moral folk that actually believe chastity to be a good idea? I know I didn't wait until I was married, but then again... I was lucky enough to grow up in an area with quite a few attractive females with low standards. Sue me. Why does that impact their gaming lives in the least? Some of those people are definitely clocking 16 hours a day on their latest toy, but fuck me if some drunken frat boy going 'FOOOOOOTBAAAAAAAAAAALL' during my recreational activities is going to be let off with a casual 'Could you stop shouting into your mic about that fat bowl you just smoked and play the game?'

This. All of this. Internet for you.

Also why the massive importance on sex? It's not -that- important.

theres actually a huge difference between the pro's, theres the people who think their pro, and the real pro's, the real pro's rarely even venture on public games and are usually fun guys to hang around with, the wankers in public games who go around spouting nonsense are often just avarage or slightly above avarage players with giant e-penises

 

[mindclockwork]

arrogant players are annoying wether they're good ones or newbies.

 

[Outofideas]

Stop having fun guys [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StopHavingFunGuys], that is all.

Ahh damn, you ninja'd my thoughts AND linked me onto TVtropes! You fiend!

 

[ultimasupersaiyan]

I hate the pro gamers who pick on the all rounders and newbies. Just because we are either new to it or in my case play other games of different genres and never stick to 1 game for more then 3 days straight. These are the worst! These are usually professionals who enter tournaments or are aspiring to be in one. I'm targeting FPS players here admittedly because them and fighter game pros who act like jackasses online.

 

[ryai458]

what really annoys me in COD games is drop shotting where once they see you they just lay down and put half a clip into your feet, it doesn't happen often but its still annoying.

People who rage cause you're new to an area/map.

For example, World of Warcraft. I've recently hit lvl 80 and i occasionally get lost cause i haven't done any of the WOTLK instances. So people who're in a group with me get all pissed at me, not my fault i'm new to it.

 

[GryffinDarkBreed]

people who yell to their teammates "32425 seconds until sniper respawns". the halo 2 days but theyre still faggots

oh and light machine gun fags in cod. all they do it spray and pray

Funny, because most of the time I used the M249 as an M4 with a 100 round magazine. Just because I use an LMG doesn't mean I'm just going to spray bullets everywhere, it just means that I'm a challenge whore who has been forced to use LMGs for the points. Also damned near necessary to take down choppers reliably, as RPGs unrealistically veer off target every god damned time at the last possible second before impact.

Camping, spawn camping, and thinking everything you do is better and more respectable just because you've played the game a few hours more.
On MW2 release day, people already moaning about 'noobs' using nades! We were all bloody noobs on release day you fools!

Not true my good fellow. in this instance the people in question are noobs, in addition to being newbs. everyone is a newb because they are NEWBies to the game, but not everyone is a noob, one who resorts to unskilled ore generally frowned upon tactics due to a lack of skill, i.e. m16 w/stopping power in COD.

Fair play, you knew what i meant. I just think its generally unfair to be harsh to 'noobs', we were all there at some point! In the early days, folks do whatever it takes to get a few kills. If you never improve and carry on using these tactics, then you have issues!

There's such a wealth of information on every aspect in WoW that the only reason you don't know something is you haven't looked it up yet.

Couldn't agree more.

Although my new favorite game modes are throwing knives only on Rust, and one where the only way you can get kills is by cooking frags and blowing yourself up next to your buddies.
