10 Types Of Gamers You See In FPS Online Play

1. The Elite (a.k.a. leet, l33t, l337, etc.)

My clan is fairly good at the shooters we play on. Although we're more likely to run into an unfortunate group of random casual players (who are then immediately pub stomped), occasionally we encounter genuine competition. Sometimes, that competition is stiff. VERY stiff.

The elite is a combination of the try-hard and the know-it-all, but isn't necessarily a douche. This person makes an effort to win, knows his or her stuff, enjoys playing, and plays to win. They may not seek the absurd level of dominance that a Try-Hard does, but make no mistake - they aren't playing this game for fun.

These are the players that play in teams, track their stats, keep in touch with the developers, make the YouTube videos that contain montages of them absolutely destroying people, helpful hints, professional strategies, or even play in the championships of their respective games. They've got sky-high win loss ratios, with the score per minute and kill to death ratio numbers to back it up. In short, they're the most formidable opponents on this list.

These guys aren't invincible, but more often than not, they're the last people you want to see. They are capable from starting a small game to having you blasted with air support and vehicles, and there's usually nothing you can do.

Well... except a graceful rage quit.
