Am I wrong?

tsk, going to bed.

its a videogame
youre probably bias, but what does the guy expect, hes whinging coz he played a game and lost.
WoW breeds the worst gamers.

nerdiest post ever holy shit

tl;dr obv

but you wrote this essay over some sort of wow fight?

holy shit... an essay.

rofl.. i cant believe i even skimmed that uhh i agree with all these people here

holy fuck who gives a shit

hah! that was my first reaction but it seems alot of others had it too. Good writing I guess? to reliably induce a strong response

People who get mad at losses in LoL and purely blame other players (esp normal games) haven't played enough games and/or are often insecure about their own skill. I was also apart of the game and did not really care too much for the loss because it was a fun and entertaining game.

Here's how I felt about the play during the game in question (if you care about sharing this analysis with your WoW friends):
Picks were a mistake in the game but there are plenty of things that we (the junglers) did to optimize the situation and the early game was in our favor despite our picks. Your friends in their post-game anger ignored the things the junglers accomplished. Firstly, we got first blood in opponent's jungle, stole their red buff and what should have been an 1-1 trade ended up being 1-2 because top lane made a mistake. Early game double jungle helped secure a few kills for mid lane and one for top lane, none for bottom lane because it was less opportune. We had solid early game dragon control and we took the first dragon uncontested. I was also able to get us first tower of the game @ top after a successful gank. The two main things that went wrong early game were bottom lane losing/feeding and unable to hold the 1v2 lane, and the other jungler being underleveled. Like you mentioned, this problem could have been resolved with better communication and bottom lane should have asked for one of the junglers to go lane with him. Even then, game was pretty even until we lost an important teamfight for second dragon.

Basically picks were w/e, it's a game vs pubs and we could have won
Everyone made mistakes, no reason to be angry after a game. Instead, try to analyze it and learn something.
Letting LoL or any other game affect your emotions is bad
No you're not being biased. You're being rational

and people wonder why there are wars out there!

holy shit man, its just a game

once a friend asked me on dota "why don't do you do what I tell you to do?" - I'm a noob at dota
i told him "because I just wanna know the game and have fun" and never played with him again

seriously, the guy was playing PUBs on GARENA (or something like that) and wanted me to play seriously a game that I play no more than 3 matches a week
fuck him

JEEEEEEEEEEEEESUS what a fucking long ass post over some common shit.

In my opinion, it comes down to ignorance and lack of communication. The ignorance falls on your friends who chose two jungles for god knows what goddamn reason. Same shit happens in HON all the time. It makes me tilt.

But it also falls on your WoW friend for not voicing what the fuck the problem was. If I see two people in HON choose jungle heroes I say something.

You sir, have too much free time... tl;dr

I am a very competitive person - I will take the most innocent game and turn it into an exercise in cut throat tactics and use anything to win.

Throughout the years of playing with friends, acquaintances and strangers in all manner of games (PC, console, board games, etc), I have learned that in the end, it is what it is: A game. Sure you can feel emotional during the heat of the moment and perhaps for a few hours (or days!) after words but ideally, a mature person will let it all go and realize it is just a game.

It is easy to lose sight of why you're playing in the first place, which is primarily fun. Being an ex-WoW player myself, I know that things like winning and having that competitive edge can overshadow why you started to play in the first place. Winning can be fun but without fun, winning isn't as great anymore.

In your situation, I would just let it go and let it just die out. Hopefully someone won't hold a grudge over such a petty thing and with time, fade in the recesses of their memories.

I was just puzzled at why people couldn't see the obvious flaws in their views, like Christians that can't see the obvious relevance in FSM to a God. I wasn't upset, but now I'm starting to. Am I being trolled? Jesus...

Maybe you're trolling yourself? I don't see what the big deal is, regardless of outcome. Two groups didn't like each others play style and you got in the middle. Fireworks ensued, it happens. I know these people are important to you but from an unbiased observer, it doesn't look like much of an argument. I answered your question - you shouldn't have gotten into it in the first place and let the two groups resolve their petty differences on their own.
