One of my favorite things about this server.

Very few if any teenagers play. Honestly, US teenagers protected by anonymity and the internet are basically destroying games like LoL and SMITE. You can't play a few games without some emotionally addled 15 year old nerd raging all game and ruining the match for you.

The concept of not criticizing and insulting a teammate because they screwed up in a middle of a game they are trying to focus on, is a completely alien concept to someone in their teens. Try duoing a lane with your average teenager in any MOBA. Unless you completely crush the other team, a teenager will stop mid game to inform everyone that you suck, and get so emotional that they start playing like shit.

I have to admit they have faster reflexes a lot of times...but this can be overstated. The best jet fighters in the world aren't going to be 15-21, they are probably more like 35. Same with many things that require reflexes in the world. Their reflexes are simply faster because they play more. They certainly are inferior at strategy.

Bah, I just realized I should have probably just posted this in RnF. Sorry guys.

Meh, you can just tell them to fuck off and group with someone else. That's why teenagers don't ruin MMOs as much as MOBAs IMO.

EDIT: I guess should have added, yes there are 35 olds like that.....yes there are 15 year olds not like that.....do I really have to say this everytime I use a generalization?

15 year olds prefer the lesser skilled games like WoW for their pvp, they wouldn't last 5 mins on a real pvp game.

"Men are stronger than women."

WAIT A MINUTE...haven't you seen Rwanda Rowse? She is stronger than many men (maybe most), and I know a guy that is waaay weaker than my GF..

If I was writing a newspaper article or academic paper I would agree with you. But not every game forum post. It is never everyone.
