Why do you rage quit?

[PeskyJim]

I'm interested (really) why people rage quit. What is it that drives you to leave the match?

This is a question that interests me, because I never leave a match unless I really have to go because of something urgent, but that doesn't count as rage quit.
Rage quiting a match, means you leave your team mates behind to deal with a problem you could not handle.
So basically you are running away because you cannot accept loosing?
Or is it because your team mates suck? The match is only 5 minutes long, why quit?
Did you know that by leaving, you ruin the game for everybody (ranked) or damn the next person who will join in your place (unranked)?
Maybe you don't give a f*ck about others, but then why do you play a team based game?

Please share you thoughts, and if you can, just answer this simple question at the end: Do you have siblings or are you an only child?

TL;DR, but the main reason why people ragequit is because kids of this generation were raised under the 'instant' culture, which states that 'i dont have to work for it to get it. I want to get it now, or else!!'
Basically what i'm saying is that everything they want, they can get it right now, rather than earning it properly with time investment/money/respect/etc.
This is true with many aspects of real life teenagers of nowadays, and video gamers that are rage quitting is just one of the examples. So if a player rage quits, regardless of the emotion storm happening in his head, he thinks that 'someone took it from me, its not fair!' rather than 'i didnt work hard enough to earn it'.

I hope i explained it well.

I rage quit when I'm paired with a semi-pro against veteran and expert. And that's not ruining the game for anybody. The game is already ruined.

The only time I quit a game is when the game takes place in the Wasteland Arena. The game is unplayable for me there (fps suddenly drops from 40+ fps to 10fps) and it causes random freezing, which doesn´t help my team in any way. So I leave and let someone else take over.

Hahaha what the hell are you talking about?

While I definitely agree with you that more and more kids these days seem like entitled little punks, they certainly did not invent ragequitting.
I started playing video games with my dad and his freinds on his Atari and can remember the days when people would congregate at arcades. People have been quitting and throwing controllers in rage for decades. This is not new.

You lose less rating if you quit

Actually you loose the same and the first guy will get a 15 min ban, after the first have left the remaining players on the team may leave only with the point loss as a penalty

stop matchmaking me with flying veterans, expers and masters! I'm playing for fun, so f u all

[parasitegod]

I RQ, when I'm there left alone with AI's or, when I'm put already ongoing game, where the situation is just hopeless. There is also a third occasion, when something in real life comes up, but usually I finish the games I have started. What I have noticed is that the so called veteran players are the ones with the most touchy nervous system.

I leave if team sucks ♥♥♥♥... ( 95% of matches )... if people stopped sucking ♥♥♥♥ all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time.. then this game would be great..

why do I rage quit?

I play to have fun. No fun, no play

[fractal]

I've never rage quit.
If my team sucks then I just go into support mode.

You learn nothing by leaving.

Never have.
I have more character than to engage and not finish.

I don't rage quit myself and fail to understand why players do. In a game that requires paitience,practice and preserverence to succeed in, why deny yourself the experience? You can learn a lot from a loss and just quitting because you didn't win won't help you improve any.

Even worse are the early rage quitters, you can quickly go down two ,nil and with proper time mount a comeback. My most exciting games have been comebacks that you win.

This is one of my most exciting matches I've been a part of which was a comeback. Sadly you can't see the score due to the water mark but you can see the score below in the timeline. We scored 1 goal,then the opponents dropped 3 on us. With about a minute left we scored again and with 10 secs left I tied it with a parkour aerial and my team mate won in in overtime.

Why deny yourself the chance to play in exciting matches like this if you just assume you will lose? I am willing to bet that the high level players got to that skill level by playing and learning from every match.

I guess when the players are ♥♥♥♥♥, encountered a player, "jewder", who was absolutely sure that I stole a goal when he hadn't even touched the ball yet. he called me names. the next match he kept trying to demolish me and the one after that he made fun of my gameplay. can't stand sore looser / winner.

it's simple.. playing with teammates who suck is a waste of time.
