Online etiquette when I suck
-
Scenario to think about... you’re obviously better than me, and are winning like 6-0 after two innings. Would you rather I play out the game and lose big, or just quit and give you the W?
I ask because I’ve quit before (never mid-play... always between innings) because I think good players would rather have a quick W than drag out a boring lob-sided win. I’ve heard the term “rage quit”, but if I do it it’s because I think my opponent would prefer it. Would good players rather me keep playing and win 15-0, or get an easy win after a couple of innings instead?
-
I'll never say no to a quit.
-
Play it out
-
Im the same. If Im getting my [censored] kicked, I say we both move on. I have nothing to gain really. You get the W anyway. Plus I feel less interested in trying to give any effort, but then again maybe playing it out could make me better. I don't know, I'll stick by the quit factor.

Depends. If it's Ranked, then I would say don't quit, but if it's events then I would say to quit.

I say play it out, #1 only way you are going to get better is playing more good players, #2 if they are that good, you'll get mercy ruled anyway problem solved. #3 I dont believe in the come back code, but man do I see it happen a lot for me. I have had many games were it looked like I was going to get smoked only to pull the game out of my [censored] in the end. I know I have had my opponents cussing and screaming on the other end.

In ranked do you get more points the more runs you score or if you stick out the whole game? I’ve wondered before how the points work.

Idk. But in RS a loss hurts you while events a loss doesn't hurt your rating or record. Plus you have a better chance at a comeback over a 9 inning game rather than a 3 or 6 inning game.

Quitting is fine imo. Just don't dashboard! I can't even begin to understand the type of immaturity it requires to dashboard! Really sucks when it affects a stat or prestige grind.
Dashboarders need to grow up but it ain't gonna happen. I'm certain they have way larger life issues than video game rage.

I will quit in Events games if I'm down 4 or more. My signature quit is
"Here's an inside the park HR for ya pal, once your done rounding them bases I'm going to quit and we can both move on towards our goal of securing a digital Fred McGriff baseball card! Have a great day!"

I had someone dashboard me once when I hit a dinger... this is a rare occurrence for me and I vividly recall the pain of that moment lol. Will never dashboard in the middle of a game... don’t understand why people feel better taking away someone else’s accomplishment.

You’re entitled to do what you want. I always play out but wouldn’t fault anyone if they wanted to move on
-
I don’t give a [censored], in ranked if I’m being robbed by this game and my opponent is getting very early out in front doubles im done. If your better then me I’ll take the beat down and learn from it. But if the game is not rewarding me why would I suffer through it. I’m concentrating on showdown, at least I know the computer is gonna screw me

IMO “rage quitting” is unplugging while the solo shot to make it 9 - 0 is still in the air because you’re blind with anger.
Recognizing that you are outmatched (at least for one game), and choosing to do better things with your time is just smart.
Also, 70% of this community will complain no matter what you do...so just do what you like.

Please quit cuz sooner or later my pitches will stop locating, I'll put a couple on and I'll serve one right up for a 3 or 4 run bomb. So yeah save me pain lmao Hell i don't even care if you dashboard lol

With Stamina working as it does this year, quits are the most beneficial thing to anyone, no matter what side of a blowout you’re on
-
I strictly play RS and I'll take an opponent quitting anytime of the week. Automatic W, but more importantly, added ranked points to your rating.
I find it hilarious when you're beating your opponent so bad, that instead of saving time and just quitting, they rather stick around and pitch batting practice to your guys.
-
I agree with the comment above about getting better by playing stronger opponents. That being said, running through your bullpen can hurt you in games to come.
I try to play it out if I can.

I think you may have an irrational hate for “dashboarders.” I don’t do it to steal stats from anyone, but why should I wait for you to watch your whole replay when I know I’m going to quit anyways?
