Like if a game is laggy, and they keep playing just to get that win, instead of quitting.

Does that make someone a tryhard, or does that make them someone with a potentially bad internet connection who is still determined to have some fun?

By ruining the gameplay for everyone else?

There is no such thing as a tryhard.

Sounds like you're self-centered and self-entitled. But I could be wrong.

Nothing. I do quit. But sometimes it seems like the laggy people count on others to quit so they can get that win. Like if someone starts quitting, they will do something to stall so they get the win. Like in an FPS they might Teabag, or a fighting game they might Taunt. They seem to be obsessed with their record.

Explain.

Irony.

Damn I'm sorry that you're so entitled you don't think people who lag should be allowed to play your games. How does someone even get like this.

I never play games online but how does one know if they are lagging? And how does it affect the other players?

what games are you talking about specifically?

if it's server-hosted the lagging person is just screwing themselves over, P2P is sometimes a different story

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Well

People who don't quit on a game ever > people who quit as soon as one thing doesn't go their way

well I sometimes play age of empires and a lagger can really ruin the game for everyone. Won't let us vote to end the game early so the only way to get out of the lag game is to take a loss.

I assume it's situations like that the TC is talking about

When I played SFIV, I got almost as much of a thrill from beating a good player through debilitating lag as I would have normally.
