When you just keep getting killed, you lose, you get beaten by somebody better than you, what do you do?
Do you rage, yell into the mic and throw the controller each time you die? Do you send the enemy team an angry message, written out carefully explaining how much you hate them?
[b]Do you stop playing and give up, blaming the game for your loss?[/b]
[i][b]Or do you accept that you did bad and you got owned, blame yourself, learn from your mistakes, and try again, determined to get better and trying not to repeat your mistakes from the last game?[/b][/i]
I'm pretty sure the fact that most players do not do the last example is the reason many competitive games have been reduced to "accessible" piles of casual randomness.

I just leave the lobby and find another game. Of course I do that after every two or three games unless the lobby has rotated. I hate playing the same people for an extended period of time. Not going to lie though, I rarely go negative. That mostly stems from the fact that I go out of my way to avoid playing with randoms (or as limited amount of randoms as I can get). That and I camp like a dick.
