Has anyone ever intentionally lost at video games?

Post by Douglas Bubbletrousers »

I'm currently losing on purpose at League of Legends to work my way down to the absolute lowest ranking.

That game has rankings that go diamond, platinum, gold, silver, bronze, then iron is the worst. I had started out in gold and am now down to the middle of bronze. I had to lose quite a few games to drop that far. This is way more fun than playing the game for real and trying to win.

The people have gotten dumber and dumber as I've gone down. Sometimes it's hard to lose because someone on the other team sucks so bad, so I have to actively try to help the other team without making it too obvious. It's a whole new challenge in itself.

Pissing someone on my team off to where they quit midgame usually seals a loss.

Damn both of my accounts are suspended for 2 weeks for intentionally feeding the enemy team.

In my early twenties, some coworker friends of mine would get together and play a Madden tournament at someone's house. We had about 7 TV's set up throughout the house and we would play a bracket style tournament. I smoked everyone and got to the Championship. I was playing the director of sales at my company. I kept it close the whole game and let him win. I think he had an idea - but not completely sure.
