Stop playing with jerks
Here’s the thing about people who angrily call other gamers noobs: They often harbor an unhealthy obsession with the game in question, and make up for their social insecurities by blaming others for their own inadequacies - at least that’s what our therapist keeps telling us every time we start ranting about this one noob we can’t stand. He calls it “displacement.”
The answer? Games aren’t supposed to be stressful. They’re supposed to be fun. So stop hanging out with angry elitists who play every round of capture the flag like their lives depend on it. Whether you’re talking about consoles or PCs, most online games have a system you can use to mute and ignore foul-mouthed players. Flesh out your friend lists with amiable gamers you cross paths with and enjoy playing online again.
