Sinful Sunday: Throwers (aka griefers)
I think that most of us play games for fun, but the moment we stop having fun we seem to handle it differently. When a game becomes frustrating for me I switch to another game or take a break, but then there are also people that see it as their duty to make every miserable. These people are griefers, they're not having fun so now no one can have fun and they'll do their best to make everyone as miserable as everyone else. In some games, if that's possible, they'll try to throw the match as in making certain that you lose. This isn't just annoying, it's ruining the game for other people and it says a lot about someone when they do something like that!
Why are some people trying to lose a game?
There could be multiple reasons. Maybe his or her friends are on the other team and this person considers it as his or her mission to make certain that his or her friends win. Then there are people who got into an argument with someone on his or her team and decided that the best way to get back at this person is to make certain that he or she loses. But there are also people who are just sad sacks of shit and they just want to ruin the fun for others and make certain that everyone on his or her team loses. What's so funny about that? You would have to ask someone who does that but my guess is that these people are just annoying douchebags or whiny little pricks that get sensitive about the slightest thing and then respond in such a childish way. Throwing a game is immature and serves only one function and that is to annoy your team. No matter what your reason is I don't think you can justify this kind of behaviour. If the team you're playing with are a bunch of assholes then you can either ignore them and try to beat the match and move on or leave the match and hope that the next team will be more fun to play. Deciding that you need to throw a match is just poor sportsmanship and it doesn't make you any better than the people you're punishing, I'd say that it makes you worse of a person.
Have you ever tried to throw a game or griefed in a game?
I've been close several times, moments where I had no fun in the match because of the behaviour of my team mates. People that were very hostile, unpleasant to play with and had some very frustrating behaviour in the match. It makes you want to get back at them, you want them to feel as miserable as you're feeling but if you do that then that doesn't make you any better than these douchebags. Of course there are moments where you let yourself go. For example in Rainbow Six Siege an asshole tried to kill me with a poison bomb, he was playing as Smoke on my team, and when he saw that I survived he tried to shoot me but I gunned him down first. I didn't even kill him but downed him. My team mates thought that I was the agressor and killed me. I explained what was going on but nobody responds, yeah great fun. I could've been an asshole and in the next round I could get a C4 and kill them all at spawn. But how would that make things right? I decided to leave because with people like that it's not fun to play and dropping down to that kind of level doesn't really make you feel better, I'd say that makes things only worse. It's tempting to get back at someone or to teach someone a lesson, but honestly there is no victory in that kind of behaviour. Even when you win you lose, that's just the sad truth about griefing.
