Before we start, I'd like to apologize if this is the wrong section to post this.
Getting back on topic, I'm intrigued because the term seems to be thrown out here and there. I just want to know how most of the people here define it.
Originally, I know that calling someone a scrub is more of a comment on somebody's state of mind when approaching games rather than a comment on one's skill level. You used to call someone a scrub if they refuse to adapt or make changes to their play style due to a variety of possible preconceived notions, which usually fall into the following categories.
1. They think they're too good at the game and refuse to change.
2. There's a "proper", "fair" way of playing, and people should follow these "rules".
3. They constantly whine about certain tactics and strategies instead of playing and looking for ways to get around them.
4. They blame their teammates for everything.
The term wasn't just limited to newcomers. Even skilled players could be scrubs.
Here, it seems that calling someone a scrub is equated to being a newbie. So how do you guys determine a scrub?
It's not in my intention to start any flame wars and the mods can close this anytime if it reaches that point. I'm just opening this thread out of sheer curiosity.
