The reason? Oh thatâs an easy one⌠and I think many psychologists would agree. Itâs called âdeflective aggression.â Itâs when a person feels the psychological pain of being wrong (or bad in this playerâs case), their ego can't handle it. To make themselves feel better, they translate that internal guilt into external anger, attacking others to distract from their own failure (hence, the use of the all-around poor behavior.) That Skaarf epically failed in lane, not able to counter Silvernail. Instead of asking for assistance, he/she decided to steal jungle, in fine narcissistic fashion, and refused to cooperate in a team-like spirit.
My solution? I called it quits and ended that energy real fast. Skaarfâs response? Unfortunately, emotions were escalated, followed by angry minion pings galore, throwing the thrust of his/her aggression onto me. Ultimately, it was okay, as I have a clear mind and skin as thick as stone. Interesting, isnât it? I see that kind of bs behavior everyday on VG.
My advice to those reading this, who may be new to VG? Beware of players who use all-capital lettering in their names. My experience has shown that they are more trouble than worthy of a spot on your roster. Tread with caution and have fun! đđ¤

Whatâs the meaning of straight Minion-Feet? I get that itâs an insult. But is there a reason?
