How do you handle yourself when you get owned in a game?
This thread was inspired by one over in the 343 forums.
When you just keep getting killed, you lose, you get beaten by somebody better than you, what do you do?
Do you rage, yell into the mic and throw the controller each time you die? Do you send the enemy team an angry message, written out carefully explaining how much you hate them?
[b]Do you stop playing and give up, blaming the game for your loss?[/b]
[i][b]Or do you accept that you did bad and you got owned, blame yourself, learn from your mistakes, and try again, determined to get better and trying not to repeat your mistakes from the last game?[/b][/i]
I'm pretty sure the fact that most players do not do the last example is the reason many competitive games have been reduced to "accessible" piles of casual randomness.

I've never been in a game where someone was able to continously beat me throughout a game. A whole team, yeah, but never just one person. I have no real preference about whether I win or lose, as long as I did my best and it was a fun match. Some of my best memories are from matches that I, and my team, lost.
