re: Why do people rage when they get thirsted in BR games?

So in these BR games, if you're on a team, instead of dying right away you get knocked and can only crawl, and you have a timer where you're essentially bleeding out. Before the timer runs out your teammates have an oppotunity to revive you. But somoene from the opposing team can finish you off before you can get revived, and that's apparently "thirsting".

So what I can gather is they're getting pissed because they feel you need to do the more tactical thing of using you as bait because if you're down, that means you have teammates still in the game. So they think you're more worried about getting kills than winning the game.



ETA Sounds like a crybaby term made up by "hardcore" gamers.
