The Rage in MOBAs

Hey everyone! How's everything? Meant to post last week, but I had some time to spend with my family back home. We had fun by the way, lol.

Anyways, I wanted to touch on a sensitive topic that has probably been already discussed on many forums or articles. And that is the RAGE in Video Gaming, but mostly in MOBA games.

I'll confess, I rage even myself when it comes to games. It's that serious nature that most like me are aware of when we play on MOBAs or other online games. In fact, I'm already raging with Dark Souls...but that's a whole different matter, so I'll chuck that to the side. Anyways, it seems to me that sometimes that seriousness really blows things out of proportion. For games like League of Legends, it does create a lot of conflict and break-ups between friends. That's why its funny nowadays when Riot implemented those notices that pop-up on inappropriate behavior before the game starts.  From my experience, I see it all the time. But what's strange is it's the littlest of things that would get people mad. For instance, you're in a game, and you have a player that's new to the whole thing and suddenly the team starts losing because the player was still trying to get use to the game. The other members start yelling at him because of his "noobish" skills and decide to report him because of that. It really irks me when things like that happen. Attitudes just like that really downgrades the enjoyment and excitement of being able to play online.

I've had my moments in MOBA when it comes to raging, but I know when to keep my cool and not bad-mouth those that are trying to have fun with the game they're playing. It can be difficult to handle, but there are limits to where your attitude could go through when building up all that aggression.

 I'm not trying to tell you not to play because of this, I'm only saying this because its natural in online gaming. Just be considerate of your actions and how you speak to people. Sometimes that misconduct can carry over towards your own lifestyle and cause discomfort for those around you. Just be smart, don't be insincere. That's all.
