If you think being obliterated in that match of PUBG last weekend was the worst thing that happened to you, then think again. Here are 7 things that hurt more than losing in games.

Losing your connection
This happens a lot, especially when you're gaming in that comfy spot in your room that doesn't get a good WiFi or data connection. 2 minutes into the game, you nail down a couple of awesome shots and you get the prompt “Connection Lost”.
Giphy The most annoying thing to happen in sports titles, especially FIFA. Both you and your opponent somehow cannot crack the draw even after extra time and penalties.

Waiting for updates
This scenario is especially true when it comes to games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Warzone. After a long day of work, you finally sit down to decompress and play a game and the updater opens up saying there's a new update that weighs 100GB.

Opponents that talk down
You're in a random lobby. You've had an awesome, sweaty match, and you respectfully say ‘GGWP' to the opponent, only to have them take a diss at you. Worst feeling ever, because you were being nice to someone after ages.
Getting killed by bots in multiplayer matches
Look, we know AI can be pretty hard, but they are kept in multiplayer lobbies to fill out missing people. The last thing you want is to be pwned by a bot in front of 4 other friends.

Forgetting to charge your controller or phone
This is technically your fault, but you always make sure you believe it wasn't. Why couldn't you just charge it before committing to play?
Losing to a noob
We've all come across that one player who really doesn't know jack about gaming, but he ends up taking your kill, or worse, wins the entire game by fluke. The amount of bragging rights and validation they receive by that is just gut wrenching.
