How often do you encounter polite players?

Slyfox101 · 08-12-2012, 05:52 PM

Topic. Serious question.

Not good players, polite players.

Aka, those who don't rage. Those who just calmly focus and play.

For me, it's on a very rare basis. Even when I'm working together with my team and filling my role it seems to be mostly hostility in pub games of all modes.

Occasionally, I'll encounter a few who don't rage or spam but there's always at least one. More often, many. Your thoughts?

E: I play in High (mm tier) skill games.

Its terrible because most of the time,im afraid to start matches just because of that.

'Intelligent' isn't really suitable. I have an IQ of 209 and I let out every nasty word in my vocabulary every game.

I gave a more specific definition of what I'm talking about.

Fair enough. I had a similar thought when I made the thread but I couldn't think of a more suitable term to apply.

Perhaps 'coherent'?

'Polite'

Just the other day, me and my friend played in a PUB where a guy first-picked Pugna and the other 2 randoms followed up with Necrolyte and Ezalor. "gulp"

My pal was playing Mortred and I was playing Dark seer.

Pugna lost his mid to a Tiny, pretty badly. And when I say lost I REALLY mean lost. 6 deaths before the roaming stage even begun. It wasn't even close, in the end we lost to a 41-0-? Tiny.

But despite this everyone in the game just played and tried to handle the impossible game. It felt so refreshing even though I was on the losing side, so I could contain my rage and simply suggest to Pugna to not instant-pick a Pugna and then claim mid.

We lost hard but in the end it was a showing of maturity this community seriously lacks. GG in my book!

On-Topic: I encounter 'polite' players in barely any games. I'm in the lowest bracket though.

Mulldrifter · 08-12-2012, 06:09 PM

They are very rare but what is rarer is when your team is full of people who don't give a fuck and are indeed playing for fun.

I had the glory to play yesterday like this, we were all laughing our asses off and we also won.

Skyforger4.0 · 08-12-2012, 06:18 PM

I only encounter intelligent players in single player.

aestropher · 08-12-2012, 06:36 PM

What's intelligence without stupidity? It's almost a boon that the majority is bad-mannered so you could exercise your superiority over them.

fr0zenknife · 08-12-2012, 06:42 PM

Rarely, though i am generally polite.

I have no problems with it, by the way. I don't find it necessary.

About every game, for some reason I barely see rude players. Personally I shut up most of the game, not counting the usual gameplay communication(ss, gank etc).

Also, it's always the worst or the best player who complains the most.

RaidenStorms · 08-12-2012, 06:47 PM

I'm polite and efficient.

I rage, when polite doesn't work.
