15 Dumbest Ways to Die in Video Games

You-Died

10 – World of Warcraft: Standing in the fire,

  • You’ve played a lot of heroics in order to gear up; in 5 mans you could finish your rotation or finish off your proc before moving out of the glowing flames or poison, sure the healer might yell at you but it’s no big deal.
  • Then comes raiding and oh my god there’s fire everywhere, but whatever, right? Why would the pinnacle of end game content be that much harder than what proceeded it?
  • Well before you even get a chance to finish that thought you’re dead and your raid leader is wondering how you made it past the character creation screen.

9 – Walking into the side of a spike in a platformer,

  • If you walk slowly enough into the side of a spike there’s no reason for it to kill you, right? I mean in real life you’d just bump into it, maybe you’d feel like a bit of a knob for a second but no real harm is done.
  • Of course in real life there’s no way to double jump or ground pound either, so maybe you should think twice before applying real life logic to video games.

8 – Alt-tabbing in the middle of an unpauseable battle,

  • You’re playing a video game and you hear the noise that can only be associated with someone messaging you; you hit alt-tab faster than Usain Bolt can run 50 metres and quickly type in your response.
  • When you tab back you find yourself waiting to respawn.
  • I get it though, it’s just plain rude to make someone wait for your response to ‘not much, you?’ on Facebook.

7 – Using explosives in close range,

  • Panic gets a hold on all of us, especially when it’s a boss enemy or a horde of mobs, sometimes you just want to spray everything you’ve got in a hope that you’ll kill before you’re killed.
  • But still, panic isn’t exactly an excuse for being dumb and you can’t really blame anyone but yourself for launching a rocket launcher on the chieftain two paces away from you.
  • Even worse is when you throw a grenade at what you think is an enemy, but turns out to be a wall that returns your throw right back at you just in time to remove you from the game.

6 – Hearthstone: Using Life Tap when you have less than 3 health,

LifeTap

  • You’re missing the card you need so you press Life Tap in hope of drawing that legendary you spent all that dust on, but all of a sudden your hero explodes.
  • What happened? Was it a secret? Nope it was your dumb ass not paying enough attention to your health or you somehow forgot that Life Tap cost you two health points.
  • Either way you feel deflated because you realise you could have won if you just used the cards in your hand right.
