Competitive multiplayer games are often played for fun, to increase your rank or to spend time alone or with friends. But unfortunately you can sometimes come across social outcasts who can ruin your day just by playing with them for a few minutes. I'm going to classify them from the least dangerous to the most dangerous.
First of all, there are those I like to call 'random'. They don't even know why they're there or what they're supposed to do, they don't even know what their role is. It's as if they've just started the game. In Moba, they like to try out new things, extraordinary builds... If you can carry the whole team by yourself, do it and don't pay any attention to them.
Then there are the trashtalkers. They talk badly from left to right for no reason. Even if you don't feel like answering them at first, you're bound to get caught up in their madness. And if you don't respond, you're going to keep his bad vibe with you, because he originally came to get on your nerves.
And finally, there are those who are capable of making you sick after just a few minutes of play, the Trolls. These are the perfect blend of the two mentioned earlier, and even worse. They can turn against you in a game, eliminating you or making sure the enemy knows where you are. Some of them contribute to the opposing team's victory. It makes you wonder why these kinds of people have access to the internet.
