How often do you encounter polite players?

Tenochtetlan · 08-12-2012, 07:07 PM

heck even Newton had an IQ of 190 and his understanding of the structure of atoms was utterly underwhelming

OT: I often see people who do not talk but very many who bark russian from minute 1 on.

Who the fuck said anything about intelligence correlating with politeness. In my experience the smartest people are always rude and socially retarded. Also, lol@u.

DC is full of world class super geniuses.

I bet he would rage in normal bracket.

Was making a point. My IQ is actually 210!

BlizziC · 08-12-2012, 07:13 PM

So this is some kind of intelligent definition/prowess now?

CasualPubbie · 08-12-2012, 07:20 PM

I suck at making examples. Point was that being ingelligent doesn't make you polite (OP used intelligent instead of polite before he edited it.)

Oh, the wonders of the ternary numeral system.

OT: Rage and release your inner beast. It's also healthy as you let your stress out.

All you have to do is be polite and most people are going to be polite back. So if you are running into a lot of rude people its probably because you are a dickhead as well. I mean sure people say or do something that is kinda douchey but if you just accept it and dont make a big deal about it there is a pretty damn good chance that you are gonna communicate nicely and easily the rest of the game.

Oh how I wish this was true.

Sadly, it's far from it.

I can confirm this is false by personal experience.

You can't claim it false, since it's not a scientific fact that he's stating. It could be true for him, and your experiences make it false, however nothing is ever definite

40% of the time. I'm part of that 40% of course; I remain polite and calm even when losing a 7-31. Fountain kills are sweet revenge.

It generally works for me, but sadly not all the time. I wished it was, though.

I find it hard to be polite when your team is uber amazing, like when you get a lina that skips dragon slave, goes stun + passive, I ask: why would she do that?
Answer comes by something like this: speed to escape?
Or when get an invoker that has force staff + dagger and his boots, you ask why?
"For positioning noob!" after 2 secs get's stuned to death, yes enemy team were 5 disablers.

Mulldrifter · 08-12-2012, 08:06 PM

My IQ is not high enough to be polite with noobs.

Cymen · 08-12-2012, 08:22 PM

Every day. If you greet them nicely and keep calling miss, people will start talking and everyone is friendly to each other. Actually works. Just tell people when they did a good job rather than screaming when they misclicked lol.

I do this every day
The enemy is just hiding at the fog everytime.

Earlier today i was on a really bad loosing streak. I end up getting raged at in most of those games. However, after checking some chat servers, two people invited me to join a party in one of them. I told them I suck before hand, but they said they were completely fine with it. They were quite polite throughout the game too, as well as the two randoms

For some reason (maybe luck?) I ended up ganking far better with viper than I ever had with all of the other heroes I played (earthshaker, veno, lion), and ended up going 26/7/21. I even added them to my friends list

MeSoloTopPlz · 08-12-2012, 09:36 PM

Honestly,i rage almost always when i have noob allies,nota good thing,but hey i gotta let some steam off.

LDNeutral · 08-12-2012, 09:44 PM

I tend to be forgiving and don't rage that much, its hard but I'm just the kind of person who isnt very good at getting mad at people S:
Also I had a couple of friends and we'd play with each other and one of them wasnt that "skilled" and my other friend would always rage and get pissed off at him and honestly I felt rather bad for him even though hes trying his best so I try to contain the little rage I could make at people who are actually trying.
