Rage Quitting

-RAGE QUITTING-

This is very obvious. When the game doesn't go your way, you're losing, or you're frustrated with the other players using tactics you deem 'cheap' even though they probably aren't, or the other players are too good, you simply quit out of the game to prevent the other players from registering a win against you.

If you can't handle a fair loss, you shouldn't be playing a competetive game. It really is that simple. Unless players were performing tactics listed in this section for cheating and unsportsman conduct, there is zero reason for you to rage quit. No amount of calling the other players cheaters for using quick fire rockets or spamming explosive rounds is going to justify your rage quitting because none of that was cheating.

Quitting because your partner 'sucks' is no excuse either. If you WILLING choose to play with a random partner you don't know, you are ACCEPTING that they may or may not suck. If you refuse to play with a sucky partner, then only play with players you know don't suck or with friends. Again, you CHOSE to play with a random partner. So making the excuse that your partner sucks does not make it ok for you to quit a match because you're losing. I've had MANY
games where it was 2vs1 because my partner was terrible, yet I still finished the match, even sometimes winning. But, I didn't quit out because I lost.

And if you quit simply because you refuse to lose, then you're even more pathetic. Just because you 'want' to win doesn't mean you do. Accept that and get over yourself. NO ONE is going to win every single time they play. You're GOING to lose from time to time, accept it and move on.
