Emotion over Reason
My past few DOTA games depict how emotion takes over reason.
I felt very awkward. Usually I wouldn't mind if people ks (kill steal) me. I dun really care unless it causes more harm than benefits to the team. For example, if I'm using some intel hero I won't mind if a late game hero steals all my kills. However, what makes me angry is when ksing is done on purpose and does not serve to help the team at all in any way.
For example, during a game just now, a shadowfiend user kept using his requiem of souls to ks my kills. Then when requiem of souls was actually needed on a whole group of people, it just wasn't used cos it was on cooldown. See what I mean.
Later in one game I had nearly 20 assists. Guess how many kills I had? Only 4...Yes...How pitiful. The person did not even say sorry for stealing every single one of my kills. All he did is boast that he's the top fragger. Now can I boast for having the most number of assists? Yea go tell everyone that you are THE TOP ASSISTANT. Lol see what I mean, it doesn't seem nice even to yourself.
Well, then in the next few games I just get super angry over small things such as a mere accidental ks and just custom kick the person who did that. I know that by custom kicking I end up wasting people's time spent in the game but I was angry. This anger was further aggrevated when my friend could not play with me due to his brother switching off the router in his room and locking the door.
If you come to think of it, we humans are more emotional beings than logical beings. We get all tensed up and emotional whenever our principles get challenged and we fail to use logic to reason our way out. Have you met people who could actually reason their way out whenever they are angered by their beliefs being challenged.
Suppose someone insults your girlfriend. Do you go "logically speaking your insult is not applicable because she cannot be a female dog as she is a human being and she does not engage in sexual intercourse for money" or do you go "(Insert verb here) YOU, YOU (Insert noun here), GO AND (Insert verb here) YOUR (Insert noun here)!"
Many people would choose the latter. I think I would too. I'm more of an emotional being...
