What "pro" gaming behavior ticks you off?

[Helimocopter]

for some reason people who dropshot has always pissed me off, its happened to me where a guy gets a kill that was almost garaunteed to go in his favor, and as the last round leaves his gun, he goes prone needlessly. of course this doesnt happen much, most people who dropshot just can't shoot on their feet

 

[ender214]

When people try to kick a newbie for not being good enough.

 

[Julianking93]

Being elitist. They just think they better than everyone else, no matter what

Dammit. Ninjad. Anyway yeah. Being arrogant fuckwads. Especially when they insult their team mates for daring to get killed and being so incompetent that they can not follow their game plan.
We had a couple of those at the local net cafe. They quickly got banned.

Ninja'd

I fucking hate elitest fucktards. That's why I don't play online. I'm strictly single player.

Well, that and the stupid as fuck "T-Bag" bullshit. Half the 12 year olds don't even know what T-Bag means, just that its on Halo.

 

[Bloody Crimson]

Those who try to be like Yahtzee. Its pants-on-head retarded. *Groan*

Gamers who try to force their gaming belief unto you. That goes for every other aspect of life btw.

Sony Radicals?

Never giving you a chance to do anything
Killing new players in the area new players begin [I saw it happen in WoW, I tried to stop it and failed multiple times]
Spamming rockets or grenades
Spamming any attack
Simply being at a higher level then looking down on everyone else

 

[CrysisMcGee]

The fact that they kill me ten times in a row.

Otherwise, whenever they mock me or talk smack.

 

[Red|Zombie]

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.

Generally if someone can beat you, they are better than you. Maybe you had an off match, they had an exceptionally good one, but they still beat you and for you to to get pissed is pretty ridiculous. Also why should you be mad if someone jumps. Make a game yourself and dont allow the player to jump.

I disagree, sure sometimes we all have good games and bad games, but pogo sticking is an unfair tactic. As for the person who wins being better, there are always random M203's and Grenades, that have nothing to do with skill but pure luck on their behalf.

I never said anything about getting pissed off for losing, it happens, you win some you lose some, and kill/death ratios don't really come into it in Domination matches in MW2, which is the only game I play online these days. It's just bullshit to know someone is there around the corner, and have them LEAP around the corner like a cane toad touched with a cattle prod and kill you. Some wankers are notorious for it, every corner has to be pogo sticked to give them the advantage, which, clearly makes them the player with the lesser ability if they have to rely on that cheap trick to get any kills.

 

[historybuff]

Elitist arrogant jerk-offs. Nothing is a bigger turn-off.

 

[Inverse Skies]

Do you know what? Probably the most annoying thing about pro gamers is that they're good and liable to kill me, lots! This is what happens when you only have limited time for videogames, you lose that fine edge and suddenly everyone else is better than you. Sigh.

 

[scar-x-]

Those fucking 7-year olds screaming in my ear all the time.

... And they can sometimes beat me...makes me sad.

 

[scar-x-]

Actually, I usually mute everybody when the start yelling (Both on PC and 360). Too bad Gears of War doesn't have a mute feature...

 

[asdasdasdasda]

The ones play PURELY to win when the rest of us are playing for fun.

I play to win, because winning is fun.

 

[Podunk]

Edge-guarding and Chain-grabbing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

 

[True Nero]

You must play the game my way! It's not possible that there's a better way to play then mine! The only reason I ever lose is because of grenade spamming noobs who jump at you when they're shooting! They need to learn to play!!!!111!TOAST1!!!1

this and beleiving that because they are in a pro clan with others that are actually talented makes them think they are greater than the whole server population

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 hate tournaments period. Uggh. They only pick the boring/overplayed stages in brawl. And man was it ever boring to watch. I used to play in tournaments (2 only in the melee days) and I won 2nd in my first and 1st in my last because of Whining/poor sportsmanship. (I used Mario).

 

[onelifecrisis]

Umm, this thread hasn't mentioned any "pro" behaviours as far as I can tell... just generic arsehole behaviours. I can't really think of anything annoying that only "pro" players do, except for owning me of course.

 

[Aura Guardian]

I'll add Edgehogging in Super Smash Bros/Melee/Brawl. God that is so fucking cheap.

 

[Phenakist]

It's funny... they more they put into games the more there is to complain about...

If game developers learned the real meaning of balance we wouldn't be having this thread...

Imagine if chess became the new big thing.... again.. after many many many years...

"ZOMG NEEEEEEEEEEEEWB you check mated me that's totally unfair because I can't actually beat you after that!!!"

Well okay that's a bit out there.. it could happen... No. what am I saying... the flocks of 12 year olds would find it straining their brains... I mean we can't have idiots learning now can we...

But on topic, elitism in Guild Wars, simply because people lack the weeks of game time in certain game types doesn't mean they are bad... I mean just because it takes one "pro discriminating elitist" a month of game time to learn how to use a simple build and tactics doesn't mean it takes someone else, with a life, that long, like maybe a game or two perhaps?

 

[arcstone]

I'll just contribute with how much I like how most of the people out there using the word "noob" does not actually know what it means.


Remember back when "noob" meant "newbie"?
Those were the days.

I play to win, because winning is fun.

True, but would you rather win or have fun?
