Example: When I see a Shadow come in, I assume they will just spam Electric Slash all the time and then get killed all the time in far off corners when they did a Shadow Strike and failed. And I expect them to whine in the forums about how (when his shadow strike starts with the enemy seeing him) the enemy knew he was going to show up next to it and stunlock meelees him in the middle of his Shadow Strike.

When I see a Fury or Vanguard come in, I assume they will not help with the objectives. If it's against the Collectors and I'm not in a good mood, I might just leave the lobby right there.

When I see a Demolisher come in, I know the game will not be fun because that dude will just sit there and spam grenades. Oftentimes they won't leave their support pylon camping spot even for objectives.  I hate Demolishers with a passion.  I have yet to meet a team player Demolisher.  Usually they eat up all the ammo and grenades their pylon produces, and on some maps they set up their pylon next to an ammo crate and eat up all the ammo and grenades of both their pylon and the ammo crate.

Geth can be very powerful but usually just die a lot.

On a positive note: when you see a Turian Soldier or Sentinel or a Justicar, it's usually a good team player.  Though with the challenge grinding going on now, you can't even be sure of that anymore.

What are your prejudices?  Which classes make you ragequit a lobby?

Was expecting something about fictional racism.

I don't assume anything.
They'll reveal their playstyle during the match.

You assume to much. I've seen way too many counterexamples to all your "prejudices". Perhaps you're just too quick to judge and haven't had enough experience or a wide enough sample.

camping outside the map with a sniper rifle and unlimited ammo from pylon... never coming down.

I have prejudices against Volus Adepts, Demolishers, Shadows, Phoenixes, Slayers and Novaguards.

If it's not a U/U/G game, and the host choose deliberately this map & class , you can be certain that he's gonna glitch.

Vanguards tend to make me think ok is this going to go well, and most Drell. In the right hands a good character too bad not many people with the right hands join my games.

but shadow players tend to get to me the most.

Oops I think you won't like me a lot. :) I play Demolisher and Vanguard very often. And just to set things right.. those granades are mine, mine, MINE!! OK? :)
However I don't like to camp near the pylon, but I do like to charge out with the vanguard and kill stuff during objectives. Not on the other side of the map, but rather close by so you don't get swarmed while escorting / hacking. On the other hand I usually do half or more of the disable / enable objectives.

I don't trust random Shadows, Slayers, Demolishers, Destroyers, Novaguards, Furies, Drellguards, GI's, GS's and Vorchas

EDIT: Forgot the TGI.

I have no prejudices, which sometimes works against me. Yesterday I readied up with a Typhoon Slayer with no comsumables on U/U/G and an N7 33 human soldier with a Viper II on Platinum. I was playing with BSNers though, so it wasn't all bad.

You seem awfully full of prejudices. Of all the things you mentioned, I only recall meeting two Demolisher who camped on Rio. In 7 months of playing.

Are you on XBox or PS? Because I don't get these issues. About the only (slight) prejudice I have is that I expect most Kroguards to get instakilled a lot if it's not Geth.

This is the same basic principle as race prejudice, orientation prejudice, gender prejudice, etc. Taking some bad examples and unjustifiably generalizing to a whole group of people.

Sure, a multiplayer videogame isn't as serious a venue to do it in, but you might want to self-examine the way you judge people.

The best thing about this thread is the title, as here "prejudices" is mentioned.

And prejudices these are.

I personally do not ragequit any lobby because of a certain class.

Dude if you vanguard only close by, you are my best friend.
But I have had my fair share of vanguards who die 10km away while the three other players are escorting the condescending drone through treacherous territory with hordes of cloaked Geth Hunters around.  On the other hand, I have never had any of those vanguards whine on the mike that nobody came to revive them.

Oh regarding the disable/enable objectives: I recently played a game with three infiltrators, and NONE of them felt like doing those objectives.  Maybe we should write a handbook for noobs.  If you play class X, this is what is expected of you.

Chill, man, this is not about judging people, but about your expectations when you see class X.
Nobody is judging anyone until after the game is over and you saw their actual performances.

I think listing the prejudices is a good way to learn what not to do when you play class X.
And expecting bad stuff is a good way to approach PUG lobbies, because then the only surprises you get are positive. And who doesn't like positive surprises?
