Myself and three other goons played a couple games of copy the pubbie in LoL yesterday. This is where you queue with 4, then you take the same summoner spells as the random 5th and buy all the same items he does. We took it one step further by copying everything he said in chat as well. He asked if we were bots. Eventually the other team started doing it too.

I can't play LoL anymore because people get so drat mad if you're not playing perfectly, or even if your team is losing but it's not directly your fault. When people get angry I just start buying up terrible items and talking about how different this is from WoW in the chat. At least I did, until I stopped playing because it gets tiring doing that every single time someone flips out.

I have a friend who is super into one of those games and even he can barely stand to play it sometimes. He says half the time he just plays it with the sound off when he doesn't feel like being super serious.

In any dotalike game, you can piss people off just by playing. If you're playing poorly, they'll rage that you're feeding. If you're playing well, they'll rage that you have more kills. LoL actually has one of the better communities. Scary, no? The key to enjoying it is to play the game for what it is and give no shits about the other players.

If you're playing well, they'll rage that you have more kills. Last night I was 7-2-4 about 15 min into a game of dota as nightstalker. We had 8 deaths as a team and like 13 kills. I was a part of almost every kill and we lost eventually because of one terrible sven. That didn't stop a lucifer top that lost his lane hard from bitching that I had 1/4th the teams deaths in a 5 player game but didn't care at all that I had a part of 85% of the kills. It was a long game and he seriously raged for about 40 minutes at every kill I got as well as every death. You'd think playing a support with 0-0-20 score or something would avoid you from getting yelled at since teammates would like you and you never stole a kill, but I would have games like that as janna in lol and they still flipped a poo poo. Simply playing is trolling to about half the player base. I'd say lol has the worst playerbase from my experience. Dota was actually really good until I reset my elo to pubstomp and now it's terrible again.

Trees have no player-placed blocks in them and are just a natural result of bonemeal use or time, so the blocks they make aren't logged. This means that if they try to roll it back, they'll have a big tree replacing a bunch of their blocks.

Here's some griefing I used to do from something other than online shooters and sandbox games, Guitar Hero: World Tour. I used to play fake-guitar games at a city tournament level before the fad died and I moved on to singing, or worse, TF2. In higher level play for these music games there's a method called "pathing" which is just a name for the pattern, or path, of star power activations you do during a song. Since star power doubles your point earnings for a while and some parts of songs have more notes than others, you could get a higher score by figuring out the best activation path. Eventually an optimal path is found by somebody and this means they are mathematically impossible to beat at that song. This can be griefed by learning the best path to a song everyone hates and selecting it, so that way not only do they have to listen to and play the song, they have to lose to you no matter what. For Guitar Hero: World Tour that song was Monsoon which in my opinion is kind of catchy but imagine the average xbox live Guitar Hero player's reaction to that song. Back when I used to go play random ranked "pro-face-offs" online (both players have identical note scrolls and same difficulty) I would win a majority of matches just because I would earn 100%. On the occasion that I get matched against someone who is also 100% material, the only way either of us can win is by having better application of star power than the other player, and the best-2-out-of-three match usually goes with both of us picking the song we are best at and both winning our own song solidly and going on to the tiebreaker. When the gods smile on me and I got to choose the tiebreaker song I would pick Monsoon and sit back while they, never bothering to learn the path to such a lovely song, lose by a huge margin even if they get 100%, and then prepare for the torrent of hate messages about just how unfathomably gay I am for learning the path to such a gay song and how gay xbox live players like me are and did I mention gayness yet? Xbox live sure has a fixation with gayness. I retired the grief after one night at a party achieving the holy grail of its permutations: Me and three friends were playing the game's online Band-vs-Band mode, where an entire group of four players (Singer, Drummer, Guitar, and Bass, a Full Band) is matched online with another Full Band and you guys play the same song together and try to beat the other band's score, just like 1v1 Pro Face-Off. Because my friends were just casual players, or downright inexperienced, we tied the other group, who seemed to be a little competent and I told my bandmates that if we were granted the tiebreaker selection we should play Monsoon so we could be guaranteed a win. Sadly, the enemy band got the selection and we all braced to lose or play Overkill of more Dream Theater again. The enemy band picked Monsoon. They chose Monsoon on their own volition. They thought THEY were griefing US by choosing that song as the tiebreaker. Needless to say the room erupted and we beat them squarely and won the match and it was the most fun a group of four people could have while having to listen to Monsoon.

I usually queue with 2-3 friends (or goons) and if any one person decides to cry about KS or anything (it's a team game), all of us basically try our best to deny that one person from any kills, any buffs, any lasthit gold without making it seem obvious.

Biowarfare posted:The best part is when you have one or two other people with you. Hahaha, yes yes yes! It's even better when they are playing a squishy character, and you or a friend is the tank. Just never ever save them from anything. My friend, who used to main Shen, got mad at one guy for being a non-stop rear end in a top hat and whenever the guy would get into a fight, my friend would Shen teleport to me, no matter where I was or how much health I had. Then when the guy would get angry, we'd be like "Sorry man but Shen had to help me out of a jam, he doesn't have time to save every shmuck crying for help" even though I would be fighting like 2 minions maybe. I'm pretty sure I've told this story, but I don't care. One of my best personal griefs was when some guy got mad at me for kill stealing, in a bot game. He was playing some slow, lovely champion like malphite or whatever. I was playing tryndamere. I had like 400 base movement speed with all my phantom dancers, and I was critting for around 700 damage or something. Whenever I saw him near an enemy, I'd run over and either wait for him to die before mopping up, or I'd just dash in at the last second and one hit the enemy bots. I think my favourite moment was when he tower dove 3 bots, died, and then I jumped in, got a triple kill, and left. Then I just typed, "Oh neat, a triple kill! I guess I'm pretty good at this tryndamere guy, lol" as I returned to base.

Two DotA classics include selling all your items, buying a lot of chickens (item couriers), filling them with branches and marching them through the middle lane. Play some grandiose music while you do it. The second one involves selling your gear, buying branches with all your money and leaving them in the spawn. Every item on the ground looks like a golden treasure box so the shining looks glorious when the fountain and whole shop area is covered in them. About League griefing, I really like playing like an idiot and rear end better over trying to get good because playing League of Legends legit, unironically and as well as I can gives me a headache and makes me feel depressed. It's just such a tedious and horrible game. It's also odd how the DotA community has a ridiculous prejudice against Russians for no discernible reason. I remember when the DotA games always had "NO RUS" tags and a country pinger who checked where you were from. If it stated "Russian Federation" you were either kicked or everyone spammed chat until you were kicked.

In some games I find they know a few english phrases and are aggressively dicks 'fuk u fat american george bush eat cheeseburger'. Dota-likes tend to be the 2nd group where they bark out orders and say poo poo like that when you don't play perfectly. Also, if it's a free2play game there tends to be a huge population. European players seem to have similar complaints about russians. oldgoatmon fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Jan 4, 2012 |

I figured it comes from wanting to play with people that speak your own language. Lots of times in lobbies I see Jpn Only or USA only and go in anyway, start speaking the appropriate for a sentence or three, then switching mid-sentence. People really hate hearing or talking to someone who speaks a different language. Even in none co-op games like fighters.

Russians (and to a lesser extent, Brazilians) draw hate in online games because of a combination of racism (dirty foreigners don't speak English!) and because they tend to be overly aggressive on the whole. There are obviously exceptions to the rule, but by and large they mask a lack of skill and/or willingness to learn by rushing into the middle of the fray with no concern for their own safety or the odds of winning, or how it affects anyone else. They give no fucks.
