I'm honestly dumbfounded. We'll get a TKer on our team, and it sucks, and ruins the match, and no one's happy. But one of them pops up on the enemy team, and suddenly I start hearing, "Well, at least it'll be an easy win! That's good for us!"

Not saying everyone is like that. Plenty of people apologize for the inevitable bad game. But for the others, the lack of sportsmanship is painful to witness. I don't see the appeal in an empty win. If you aren't being challenged and playing your hardest during a competition, why bother? I guess the fake money is just that appealing to some folks, but to me it's just bonkers.

I know this isn't the Olympics, and worse yet it's on the internet, but it's still a sporting competition between teams of players. You still shake hands and GG, even if your match sucked and you got rolled over and you hate everything right then. I honestly don't get why people struggle with that.

If something is worth doing it is worth dying for. I do not remember where I got this quote but it makes sense in this context.

To the original post: Yes I have to agree with you, although I have only seen that myself once. Often it's a rally to help the other team help down the offender, before we finish them off.

I am happy when AFKers return. Another battered target=quick kill.
