If I want to quit, I usually wait till I win a game, because I don't want people to think I'm salty.

I agree. In Splatoon for example, matches with balanced teams are much more fun instead of dominating the other team.

That's noble.

I can see why it can be annoying for some, but the thing I've noticed a lot from those that find it irritating is that they fail to notice the other player not having fun on the losing side. They fail to see the equal frustration that the other player is feeling, yet that tiny amount that do just shrug and go "git gud", which never breeds positivity from that kind of exchange.

I'm actually glad that some games out there allow for the player to "surrender" to the other, especially for those that know when they have been bested, but it's unfortunate that those who seek to be "in it to win it"fail to accept surrender as a legitimate option to use when you have been bested. Not everyone loves having their face dragged through the mud, well after victory has been assured for the other player. If I know I've been bested (and I know myself more than anyone else) I'll toss in the towel and move onto playing another match. For those games that offer the use of surrendering to your opponents, I'll take up on said option, for others that don't, well I try to avoid playing with other players and instead opt in for co-op modes or Humans vs AI.

Tbh I think most games should offer the option for surrender, rather than opting to look out for one side and not the other (especially when one side is suffering frustration and all the other side can do is just piss all over them and expect no consequences)

Games where my team is getting trashed are also fun for me. I always try to go Rambo on those, try to be a one-man army.

It never ceases to amaze me how vital the results of a virtual competition are to real people.

In video games, you are pretending to fight. In actual fighting, you really do... in fact... fight. There is a difference.

Welcome to online gaming!

...and the more competitive you get, more and more stuff like this happens.

In fighting games I don't get salty when I lose because it's for the most part a learning experience (unlike shooters were you depend more on others), however what kinda got me salty in smash 4 was losing a close match and my opponent inmmediatly leaving, because I would have loved a rematch and the unwritten rule of smash 4 is you gotta fight a best out of 3.

I honestly get WAY more mad at Single player games

I really only rage quite in Rainbow six siege
