In most games your ability to combat enemies isn't progressively built. In MOBAs, when you fall behind, you lose the ability to do a lot of things. Because everyone loves being able to kill shit, people get frustrated by that, and especially when they're going to be waiting another 20-40 minutes before their next game. You see similar levels of rage and saltiness in any other game with actual consequences to mistakes and long set-up times like WoW, Eve, etc.
I just had these kids put me on tilt so hard I LoL though. The guys goes 0/6/0 in lane and I go 1/4/1 in lane (obviously losing but not as bad as him) and he starts flaming me and then his duo buddy starts flaming me and then they told the other team to report meMade me so mad. Then they were on the other team the next game even though I reported them for harrasment (good fucking job riot immediately match me with people I muted and reported)So they start flaming me in all chat and they get carried and win because my attack damage carry neglects to build any attack damage
People take MOBAa waaaaayy too seriously.I watch streams sometimes and holy cow

I mean, they've probably shortened their own lifespan by being so angry for such a long period of time. I can't believe they reported you haha what a pack of flogs.

The textchat feed is just a mess of terribly spelt insults.
My favorite insult is "that's why you're bronze!"Bitch if you're playing with me you're bronze too
I pissed off a dude while working at the library, some librarian put on LoL on the big TV (personally I wanted to tell her to put Evo 2015 but ehh...) and that guy was talking about how they have unfair matches because of the color giving the player an advantage so while passing by I said "it's just a theory" and he got all butthurt and yelled "It's a scientific fact!" Ah good times.
It is statistically true that top half of the map is at a disadvantage because of camera angle and river objectives though.

I never understood why they don't just mirror the map for each teamThey tried and they'd have to redo the art because the map is made to be seen from a certain direction and looks weird as fuck from the opposite.In Dota the concept is more compelling because the engine is more flexible but in league they can't even change an attack speed value without fucking up the code base.In the end they just decided to put the higher MMR team on the lower winrate side.
