For no particular reason I decided to check my rep on LIVE. Turns out that a whopping 24% of people I play online perfer to avoid me. =(
Now let's think for a minute on the games I've played on my 360 online. Like 3 matches of Halo 3, and the rest were all fighting games. (SF4, BB:CT, BB:CS, UMK3, SSF4) Now 50% of those 24% avoiding me, claimed it was from me quitting early. To comment on that, well, I've never quit early, because it makes me rage when others do. It's -possible- that when i see others DC, they're seeing the same thing for me and thinking I DC'd. I mean my DSL is pretty crappy. However 99% of the times someone has mysteriously DC'd, it was when I was stomping them fairly hard. =|
Conclusion? People who ragequit like to avoid their better competition by claiming said comp ragequits on them. =| An alternative explanation could be people raging hard about my choices in fighting mains (Robo smoke in UMK3, Nu in BBCT) and thus trying to give me bad rep because they're feeling a bit vicious. Regardless and in either case, Way to be mature kiddies. Way to give LIVE gamers a bad name. =\
The other 50% didn't have a listed reason, so i'm assuming it's complaints on player skill. Be it "too good" or "too bad" at the game. Some of these might be legitimate. I've occasionally fought someone who stomped me hard enough that it'd make sense to classify me as too easy of an opponent. I guess though there have been a few times (Most notably with Robo-smoke in UMK3 or Nu in BB:CT) where I've decimated someone and they probably wouldn't want to deal with me any more. =\
Anyway, just found it kind of sad that 24% of people i face don't like playing me. I'd like to think that I can be a fun or friendly guy, especially when in a voice chat room on fighters. I guess though it does make sense. Fighters are easily one of the most competitive genres of multiplayer gaming imo.
