Hello. I have played a few games with Irek, and have not experienced any rage problems. He's a good player to play with.
If your new, (less than 50 games I rekon) then tell people before the game starts. Same if you're fairly good. Tell them in case you're a noob stomper
Also ingame, typing a messsage to someone is time consuming, so often the easiest things to type come across as rage... It is a game and so both people communicating through the limited use of gamechat need to understand that. What you type can look like rage, what you read can look like rage.... then sometimes it is LOL.
As far as the AU/NZ community goes, I find Aussies much better sports than other (I'll not mention angry yanks ) and usually quite friendly.
On the point of DYING.... Consider DYING as a CRIME in the fantasy world of demigod. You are still alive in real life, and feel no pain.... But dying ingame is EQUAL to dying in real life if playing a good game is what you aim to achieve.
Do EVERYTHING you possibly can to NOT DIE.
If you want to win, then dying to lock a flag, or dying to down a tower is soooo not worth it. It's like giving your Queen for a pawn in chess... Though in chess you really can only make that mistake once. Just because you respawn, does not mean all is better. You miss out on earning gold, earning EXP, TIME to get back position, and you hand each of these crucial resources over to the enemy player.
Look, I never will defend anyone raging - it's not necessary But I will say that raging is not what I've experienced with Irek, and I think it's not what he's about.
