not sure if this fits into a category yet, but what about the kids who will immediately start talking s*** as soon as you get into the pre-game lobby? Not just trash talk, but just...a really annoying spew of nonsense using words they wouldnt use if their mom was around lol
Every single League/Dota player ever. Most of them are an in a league of their own when it comes to douche-ness.
leagues community is genial compared to hons i remember when i first started playing i almost quit immediately because a bunch of smurfs were in the game and yelling AND typing every little mistake that i did but not giving any advice 99% of the community is like this it has to be just as bad if not worse than dota
THE FAN GIRL: A rabid breed of human females that rage about their favorite people and what not. Strangely, though I never encountered one (Thank the Holy Lord), fangirls can be spotted on games. They build shrines of their own whatever-character-they-like and if someone badmouths about that character, they will ambush and maul you down. Be careful, their common in packs, even though they say things like: "He's MY future husband, not YOURS."
Come on, you guys know what I'm getting at. I sometimes feel sympathy for these players, because they can be very nice but be bogged down by the world's crappiest internet connection which in turn can damage the flow of the team. There are also the hurr durr laggers that blame the rest of the planet for lagging, when that isn't the case and they're the only person in the server with 450 ping. A cable modem. Use one.
12. The "mic-always-on" player Suggested by Nenntt
Yeah man, because we all totally love to hear every single thing that goes on in the background of this player's house. It's also awesome when you can hardly hear the game itself because of this person's incomprehensible reason to have his mic running 24/7. We all love hearing your siblings arguing in the background. We all love hearing you make crunch sounds because you're eating and playing at the same time.
The best part of all, is that we love hearing that static hum that is overlapping the audio of the game. 10/10
13. The "Not Actually a Gamer" Gamer Suggested by Metadigital
Every day you get at least one invite to the latest social game on Facebook from them. Farmville, Cityville, The Ville, it doesn't matter. As long as it ends in "ville" or is made by PopCap. They will tell you all about their latest Bejeweled accomplishments and complain about the ads that appear every few levels. Yeah, they know what an ad blocker is, but it just seems like too much trouble to get working. Just like actual video games.
Another good example of this is when people call themselves gamers when they play Wii twice a week.
14. Silent Bob
So you're playing some Left 4 Dead 2 with 3 other strangers, and one of them gets ensnared by a Smoker. As everyone else is distracted by hearing a Tank or Witch some distance away, this poor silent player is constantly losing health but decides not to type a single letter, as if this player thinks "Eh, whatever, I'm sure they'll save me eventually. If not, then good game I guess." When all they needed was a quick "help?" over the mic or in the chat.
It's not uncommong for this kind of player to have a mic sitting right near his face but remain unused.
Go ahead, suggest more types to put in this list. Don't be shy.
8. sometimes it isn't their fault for having s***y internet, its only bad if they are complaining about ti all the time.
12. its even worse when they don't have headphones and they have their speakers up at a level the mic can pick up, then everything just echos and becomes a pain in the **** to tell whats what.
13. the last point you made "Another good example of this is when people call themselves gamers when they play Wii twice a week." is invalid, if you play games on a wii and you only play twice a week that doesn't mean you aren't a gamer. some people might not have time to play games everyday of the week because they actually have lives and do stuff. also they might only be able to game on the wii because they can't afford to build pc or their parents won't let them get a console.
14. tanks are more important than smokers, killing tanks is usually a team effort.
I say you forgot the beggar, just had one today (not only asking me for; items, housing, help in a war against my friend, but also asked me to buy him a copy of minecraft... please note I met the guy only a few hours prior.)

I agree, and I wish he didn't attribute his own additions to me. I didn't write, not do I agree with, that last line.
I think I might have a few. The N00b Player:
That one person who always decides to join a server when they bought the game yesterday. "Omg guise! I'm so good at this game already!" They never take the time to go through a tutorial or look tips and tricks up online, but decide to leave the more experienced players to be held back and suffer because they don't know how to make a cobblestone generator, or don't know how to shoot a portal, or how classes on tf2 work.
(this one is probably a given though. I have a bunch of friends like this and it's so irritating. They don't even know how to tame wolves The R00d Player:
That one guy who always loves to bash on people just because they don't know how to do a certain trick or like to bash on players that are new to servers. If you can't climb a wall on transformice (terrible reference, but is most common for me on that game) then you're the biggest noob in the world, and should never play the game. They hound on people and don't even give them a chance to support the team, or don't even try to tell them how to do or use something. The will even have the audacity to yell and mock a senior player who isn't aware of a new feature, glitch, or ability.

Need or want a cheap reliable sever host? Well, Obsidian Hosting is just the right place!

A new player would probably be excited to jump into the game. If they do overlook the tutorials, other, more experienced players should give friendly tips to the new player.
Anyone ever see that video that takes place during a game of Black Ops, and two close friends are making sarcastic remarks about stuff like "Hey, let's swap girlfriends for the week!" followed by "Sure man, done deal!" Then some 11-year-old boy joins in and starts saying "Girlfriends eh? Yeah, I know right? I get laid all the time you know?"
There was this awkward silence, then both teams burst out laughing at the same time, in both the chat and by mic. If anyone finds that video, I beg you to tell me where. It had me in tears. It will have you in tears.
Cant agree to number 13 , I am a gamer and play social games every now and then. I also have an xbox 360 that i dont play very much, because mostly when I do game its on the pc. Playing social games every now and then makes you no less of a gamer then any other gamer.
2. The Griefer Thanks for reminding me of this one, whatsamagiga. I had no reason to forget this one.
That guy that blocks your house doors with obsidian in Minecraft. That guy who dances in your line of fire when you're trying to snipe someone. If you read on through this list, you'll find the "Misery-Eater" gamer type, but griefers take a step further by trying to troll EVERYONE, and not just the opposite team.
Like many other sad pathetic wastes of oxygen in this list scraping the bottom of the suicide barrel, this type of gamer probably never got any sort of attention throughout his life, and the only way to grasp it is on a server full of (innocent) players. These types of gamers also seem to get angry when they get banned, as if they got banned for no reason.
Go ahead, suggest more types to put in this list. Don't be shy.
Glad you didn't forget me.

Don't forget...not all of you are perfect and were probably in one of these categories (at least) at one time or another. I personally know I've been in a few
Here you are, just playing a game minding your own business, and the chat and mic suddenly spam(TF2 BTW)" SELLING HATS AND GAMES AND MORE CHECK MY BP BP BP BP 3 REF FOR REFS AND REFS AND RECS"

The Mic Spammer
The entire game, you hear "Trolololololololololololololololololololololo"
The entitled gamers. These are really common in free-to-play games, especially MMO's.
Ah yes those guys. The guys that feel that they should get there way and not have to pay for micro-transactions because wanting money to keep your business alive is bad. I hate those guys.
Basically, people that ask you to report someone when that person did nothing and the person who asks for the report starts breaking half the rules of the game through vulgar words.
Ex. Report this guy PLEASE! He can't do /he's worthless/he should uninstall/I swear someone dropped him on his head/[racial slurs]
The beggars
"Commend me" "Commend me" "Be sure to commend me" Why would I commend you when we haven't said two words to each other? You want me to commend you because you won and did half-decent? Heh, no.
The Sub-Optimally overachieved (I wasn't sure how to word this)
This is basically people that brag about something they did in a game when they're only doing what they're supposed to do. For example, when I'm playing dota 2 and their support starts saying stuff like "Yep, sure does feel good to see wards on our map." Congratulations, you did what you're supposed to do, so what?
Easy goers; easy complainers
People that complain about a game being too easy when they set their game on the easiest setting.

Griefers. I'm embarrassed to not have added that one at the start. I added it now, and I made it #2.
As a Pokémon fan, I don't like those "ORIGINAL 151 ARE GODS" people very much
