If we play and win, I say some complimenting words and still try to end the play session. If we play and lose, I try to stay quiet and end the play session a little faster. I directly avoid teaming up, because I think I’ll sour relationships. I simply don’t have a network of people to consistently play with, and I’m a bad sport when it comes to group play. It’s easier for me to be exploitative of inherent co-operative weaknesses of strangers than it is for me to form a trusted coalition of players to fight another. I solo queue religiously, and I find that my games are generally easier that way. It’s a real “focus on the negatives” issue with me. I do not have a good history of playing competitive games well with people I know.
