I don't go online, and when/if I do I try not to talk to anyone because chances are, they'll be a gaming prick... or as yatzee once said, a bunch of hooting dickholes
What "pro" gaming behavior ticks you off?

It seems like a very high percentage of these pros, what with their headsets and mics are actually just arrogant, annoying, think-they-know-better-than-you, fuckwads. I mean I know this isn't true for everyone, but mics... oh lawd.
When young kids think they're awesome. Given I'm not great, but I was carrying the flag back in Halo 3 and my OWN teammate killed me FIVE feet from the goal! He then took the flag and carried into the goal and scored!
He then had the gull to tell us how much we sucked. Did I mention he was...eleven? Twelve?

Arrogance, I HATE arrogant people. I have to knock them down and humiliate them. That's what drives me in games.
I hate the people who accuse me of "not knowing how to plat a Balance Druid" just because I don't have Eclipse. I've tried using it; either it never procs at all, it procs and there's absolutely no noticeable change, or the lag makes me miss out on half the effect's duration. Sometimes a combination of the three.
I choose not to take it because I don't enjoy having it. And people call me a "noob" and say that I "don't know how to play a Moonkin" just because I choose to trade a few hundred DPS for fun. Besides, I'm usually pulling at least 2K without it (in so-so gear).
Also hate it when people ***** at me for valuing crit over haste. To me, it makes no sense to favor haste over crit when crits give us so many bonuses.

Id have to say the irritating "fights". When someone gets angry they start threatening and trying to provoke a fight. These people really dont get its a game and its about fun, albeit some people like to pull glitches and hacks, as well as have egotistical attitudes that ruin all the fun... This is the reason why I dont play FPS's.
I hate being a map, 4 players me at level 18 they're all at level 50+, they complain like little bitches when I kill them! My KDR is still 1 kill to 5 deaths but they still *****! They're worse than old women queuing for prescription in Wales!
The fact that they believe the sniper rifle = better than life.
Halo 3 "pros" or notorious for this.
Also Hardcore for MW2 is considered pros only.
Apparently all the pro's do is camp, wait for people to walk by, and kill.
At least in normal team deathmatch you actually do something other than camp. Sure there's camping, but significantly less than hardcore.

People who look down on you because you like playing games other than Counter Strike, like you're not a real gamer if you think video games should be fun and have a story. oO
people who call tactical advantages "noob" for instance (on call of duty) - juggernaut or the grenade launcher. or (on counter strike) rushing really fast to hide in the corner of a room so they pass you and you can hit them all from behind cause they didnt look. also being spawn killed.
Whining/poor sportsmanship. I remember hearing several months back about people wanting to ban certain characters from Brawl tournaments and thinking how idiotic it was because if a player was truly confident in their skills, they could own any player using any character regardless of whatever character the other player is using. So wanting to ban characters sounded to me like a bunch of poor sports reaching for excuses. IDK, I'm not a professional gamer and I don't play in tournaments, but that's what it sounded like to me.
I played in a brawl tournament which was 90% Ikes, and not one single Ike survived to the finales.canadamus_prime said:
Really, most of these complaints are more about noobs than pros. Teabagging, for instance, is a complete noob move. Pros shouldn't do crap like that.
I'm not a professional gamer (meaning I don't make money from playing) but I have a professional attitude about how the game should be played. My main annoyance is when people refuse to talk when playing a strategic team game, or when they don't have a mic. Especially when people who take the game seriously do this: if you're not going to communicate with your team, don't get mad later because it didn't go well. The team that talks the most wins the most.

Doubly true if you happen to be a gnome...Amnestic said:
also you can always just log off if they are corpse camping you, or lvl an alt for a bit.
Two things really piss me off, the fact that they usually think they're better than other games just because they get the highest score, and fucking retards that jump around every corner in an FPS, giving them the advantage. I hate them so much that if I ever met someone who did it I'd probably beat the shit out of them.
Since when were pogo sticks issued at the armoury? Asshats.

Team-switching so that all the n00bs who haven't "unlocked" the ability to do so yet are on one team, getting butchered by all the pros on the other. Teams should be evenly balanced so that everyone has a chance to play against the most varied opposition possible.Wayte said:
EDIT: Although thinking about it, that's probably more of a problem with servers that allow this kind of thing, rather than with the pros themselves. Although I'll still go out on a limb and say they suck.
