You probably don't host lobbies with rank restriction very often :lol:
Not sure what you mean, i often join lobbies with title like 1v1, 3v3 and once im in, people dont respond, abandon game, complain i'm too high (pr22 vs pr25 is absolutely resonable imo, i played it on both sides).
Why in general are people so obsessed with winning? I'd rather have a good game I lost than a bad game i won because i bashed someone much lower.

I missed that. Some people actually believe that you have to rage to become good, so he could have been serious :chinese:

There are studies on this. It's called "ladder anxiety". You can google it, there are lots of articles and videos about it :chinese:

PS: Here's a video I just found about it

eg i host a game ms/lt up on RE - then a PR5 joins, i say sry too low rank (if i care nowadays), then i get flamed and i have to kick 3-5 times and pest for some minutes. This happens quite often. "Why in general are people so obsessed with winning?" It isn't fun to be on a team an literally have no chance. Sometimes you know the game result already before the game starts, if you know the players. And maybe google the effects of Winning/Losing on the psychology, social status.

I always read that face as "satisfied with the (typically somewhat edgy or trolly) joke that was just made" which fit this occasion

You like strategy games, no? And there's no mechanics in Go. Mostly it's a game designer's wet dream, and you're a game designer at heart. It really is the perfect game. You qualify because you'd be able to appreciate this, and because you're not greedy.
