I don't see any reason why players should hate on noobs

If you are bad then you get named a useless noob.
If you are good then you are considered a hacker.

Once I got kicked out of too many FPS games on my first play day (it was a FPS game by Netgames) since hosts suspected I was hacking. I just told them I was new and good at aiming... then I quit that game by the end of the day! :hp_kyu:

If they're calling you a hacker and you're not cheating it's basically a compliment really.

I'm somewhere in the middle, Not bad enough to be called new but not good enough to be called a hacker.

Good for you, that rule doesnt apply to everyone. I hope you know that, some either forget how the game work in general or forgot how they pull it off that clutched the game.

Then they were never good.

Nope, then you said I suck then because I had 1000 hours in certain games. I was rusty before but took around a day or at least less to adapt into it again. Which again, it all varies how much hours they put in, in order to get good again. But anyways nowadays I've been coming a bit more often so at this point I remain being good. Sometimes I suck though.

I know someone that plays like a hacker and almost thought someone was a hacker. But I come to accept he is just genuinely good and nasty at the game.

Bold of you to assume you played with the person before.

I thought you said:

So can people have never been good at the game or can they "just stop being bad" because "it's easy to stop being bad"?

It's easy to stop being bad but everyone is still bad. Which is annoying.

Maybe they don't consider pieces of entertainment to be the most important thing in their lives? Also if you can do it in every game and it's so easy surely you can tell the people here how.

I'm fine with them as long as they're willing to admit their mistakes and listen to more experienced players. If they wanna try some new stuff, that's fine by me, but I don't wanna see them trying it out over and over even if they're being told that it's either ineffective or a waste.

But, when those newbies do wanna learn the game and actually ask me to provide a feedback.. That's when I'm glad that they are even there, because it makes me feel superior.
Playing against them, however, is also an issue because they're too often so predictable that it entirely removes whatever challenge that would've been there if they were, at least, average players.

Noobtubes is one. And two is because they made you lose or died.

Actually, that's a completely justified reason; Literally nobody complains about them nowadays, unless the player is new to the game or isn't aware that Blast Shield exist in MW2.
I've encountered a lot of players who were claiming and boasting about how good they are at the game, but when I've asked them about some basics, like if Ninja Pro is worse or better than SitRep Pro when it comes to comparing the intensity of sounds of footsteps.. They were completely off and proving that they're just entitled and bad players in the end.

TIL treating a piece of entertainment as a second job and playing it for 40 hours/week (either giving up weekends or playing it in your off time assuming you either have time after you commute or are willing to have <8hrs/day of sleep) for 5-6 months is "nothing" to some people.

Because folks who feel more superior and experienced love to hate on those who can't learn a game within 3 minutes of playing the first time.

I only hate them in a team based game. Otherwise I wish them the best. I usually try to save them, keep them from getting blown up or something. They also make good point makers on the enemy team. So really, whats to hate about them?

[Pocahawtness]

Arrogance, intolerance, impatience... take your pick.

When things go wrong people often look for someone to blame. If anything stands out about a particular player then they can be the target irrespective of whether they were the problem or not.

Most often I see the biggest failing of a team is that they are not actually performing as a team and that isn't necessarily the fault of the noob. It's just easy to blame the noob.

People have different play styles and often have different personal targets in a game. Anything that singles you out may result in you being labelled a noob and cast out.

A lot of the time it's bullying really.

People should learn to support each other no matter the failings of an individual, no matter their play-style. Apart from anything else, others really respect someone who offers support.

I love getting a ton of noobs in a game. It makes it more fun to go through the process of learning to be a team. It doesn't always work, but when it does it's really rewarding to see the team succeed.

Doesn't matter but you're bad and thus can't distinguish legit players and cheaters from one another.
