A phenomenon observable in most online video games with competitive matchmaking and ranks, in which random players tend to be far more abrasive and uncooperative than those you meet in casual drop-in games or community servers, even ones hosting games in competitive format.

There are a variety of reasons for this, not least of which is because clueless kids think they're going to be MLG esports pros and thus blame anything that goes wrong on you, regardless of how well anyone is actually doing, and frequently ragequit, leaving you unable to pick up the match.

Joe was warming up for a round of competitive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive by dicking around in some servers with custom game modes.
