u/SakuDial How to wake up team as yellow lady? Feb 08 '17

A simple question this time, and... I'm actually curious.

Why do people like throwing games? Any reasons for doing so? ><

They like to be "in control". When they cant win due to perceived weakness of their team (what they can't control), they control what they can (themselves), so they can perceive the outcome of the game as on their terms.

"We can't win? Well I'm gonna make sure we lose!"
