What "pro" gaming behavior ticks you off?

[Wayte]

Ok, so as a gamer I constantly hear bitching about noobs in games, but never the supposed "pros." So here's the thread to do that in; what supposedly "pro" things in games tick you off? It could be a cookie cutter strategy, or just something they do in your favorite game.


Mine would have to be when there's a newer player on the team, but everybody ignores any plea for help and advice the guy gives, then yells at him and possibly bans him when things trainwreck. Warcraft 3 custom maps are notorious for this.

Spawnkilling. That's it for me.

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.

I only really mind it when they teabag.
What REALLY gets me though is in Halo 3, when some guy grabs a sword/shottie and camps a iny room, then teabags like what he did took any real skill.

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.

when ego skyrockets.

reason for never using headsets.

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

This. Also the ones that are so over competitive that they hate when their teammates are doing better than them

Juggernauts on cod4. I said it before but when I meet one I do everything I can to ensure that I win the game.

 

[Atvomat_Nikonov]

The ones that call you a noob for not using their preffered weapon or tactic. I was called a noob on Call of Duty 4 for using a silenced weapon with UAV Jammer to clar out nests of snipers/campers. You know why I was called a noob? Because I wasn't using an M16 with stopping power.
I'll play however I want to on CoD, stop telling me how to play.

 

[Smudge91]

The ones who act like complete arseholes. When i was on a pvp server on WoW, it would annoy me when you'd get a level 70 (thats when the level cap was 70) came and grave camp. Or when its everyones fault but their own when things go down the drain.

 

[Sneaklemming]

Spawnkilling. That's it for me.

Spawning isnt pro- is a noob move...

 

[Psychophante]

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!

I got ya one better. On one game in WC3(it's my lazy day game so I have alot of stories from it) there's a game where there's 11 little critters against a big titan. The titan left, and I was nominated to take over because the host thought I was noob. Within half an hour I'd killed everybody else, and had the host threatening to ban me if I didn't give him time. Needless to say I dismantled his base as slowly as possible just to punish him ;D

 

[MGlBlaze]

Spawnkilling. That's it for me.

I told someone to stop spawnkilling in CS:S one and they said they couldn't be doing that because they didn't kill anyone as soon as they spawned... and by 'they' I mean THE ONE DOING THE KILLING. It was infuriatingly wall-banger worthy. Seriousely, I remember the exact words;
"No, I'm not! I'm not killing anyone as soon as I spawn!"

I wish I was fucking kidding.

If it's red, it's dead. If you don't want to get spawn camped, you shouldn't have rolled on a PvP server.

Sheer arrogance. This can go with elitism, but I'm also including people that claim they're good when they stick with cheap tactics to win or score, such as kill stealing (TF2 Medic assist kills don't count), using an exploit (GunZ's "K-style"), going for an obviously-overpowered playstyle (aka in WoW, "Argh I'm not omnipotent as a warlock anymore, I'm rerolling loladin cause they are now.") and of course taking the game way too seriously when their arse is being handed to them.
