User blog comment:Zeowolf0/Wolf's Rant - Ranked Games/@comment-137.226.66.4-20130122112617

Well, people are a lot more anxious to win ranked games than normals, so the reactions tend to be more severe. But except for a few really, really bad examples, most of my ranked matches this far have been more civilized than the random ones because people were more focused on playing a good match.

However, I completely share your anger. I have had about 3 recent non-ranked and 1 ranked game where the best player in our team started flaming others for "sucking at lol" (even worse: when ppl on the winning team start flaming the other team for "being such losers"). We even won some of those matches (and I did pretty darn good in the match where I was the one being flamed - 10+ kills, positive k/d ration, helping my teammates etc.). But somehow, the sheer ARROGANCE of those people pissed me off a lot more than one of those usual trolls who will just swear at everybody.

Usually, those guys will end up spewing lines like "you suck so much, never play this game again" or "go play the tutorial". If you report the guy for saying this, he probably won't even be punished, since he didn't use any obvious swear words etc. But what kind of arrogant ******** do you need to be to say something like that to an other person?

Even better: commenting the moves of others while being dead themselves. ("you nab, you should have done this or that... yaddayadda").

Personally, I tend to take much more offense when a good player starts flaming than I do when the worst feeder on the team feels like unloading his anger.

TL;DR: Being good at some internet game doesn't make it right to flame others for playing a bad match. If you feel differently, please slap yourself.
