I would actually argue (and read the whole thing before responding that I'm wrong) that this anger can be a good thing.

I realize that one can offend people easily by raging with text, especially when using bad language. Personally, I try to ignore such people, and tell the "n00bs" what they need to work on instead of just saying they suck.

However, when you think about it, everyone gets angry sometimes. There are some players I added who can be really good sports one day, and rage their heads off on another. I am usually quite gracious towards my teammates, but when I play LoL after having a bad day, even I will rage a bit. Those who blame others tend to be the ones most stressed out in real life.

But don't you think it's better that way? Instead of taking out your anger on the real world, you can stream it off in lines of text, which at the end of the day can't cause that much harm. So while people blaming others ingame can be annoying, it's better than, blaming a friend, colleague or family member who is actually close to you for your troubles.

So yeah, there probably are a few real jerks out there, but honestly, why do we play games other than to have fun and relieve stress? In Call of Duty and other such trigger happy games you shoot people, in LoL you rage at them :)

So next time someone is blaming you for something, just take it and be the punchbag for a bit, and things should settle down :3
