Gaming is supposed to be fun—but let’s face it, sometimes it gets way too personal. Whether it’s a backstabbing friend or a teammate who just won’t listen, certain multiplayer games are infamous for turning laughter into shouting matches. From living rooms to Discord calls, here are five games that have ruined friendships and made rage-quitting a common occurrence.
1. Mario Kart (Any Version)
Platform: Nintendo
Why it causes fights:
Mario Kart is pure chaos dressed as a family-friendly racer. You’re in first place the whole race—then bam! A blue shell knocks you out, followed by a red shell, and suddenly you’re dead last. Add banana peels and lightning bolts, and you’ve got a game that feels unfair on purpose. Nothing ignites fury like being overtaken by your best friend right before the finish line.
2. Among Us
Platform: PC, Mobile, Console
Why it causes fights:
Among Us turns your friends into liars. Paranoia runs high as players try to figure out who the Impostor is. Accusations fly, alliances form and break, and people hold grudges well beyond the game. It’s not just about survival—it’s about betrayal. “I can’t believe you killed me and acted like nothing happened” is a common post-game quote.
3. League of Legends
Platform: PC
Why it causes fights:
Few games are more toxic—or addictive—than League of Legends. With its steep learning curve and competitive ranked mode, frustration builds quickly. Misplays get called out instantly, and teammates are often the first to blame. Flame wars are frequent, even among friends. “Mid diff,” “jungle gap,” and “open bot” are phrases that end friendships.
4. Overcooked (1 & 2)
Platform: Console, PC
Why it causes fights:
This one looks innocent—cartoony chefs racing to serve dishes—but it’s secretly a stress simulator. Every level requires tight coordination, fast communication, and zero room for mistakes. One dropped tomato or misplaced plate and it’s instant chaos. You’ll hear a lot of “What are you DOING?!” and “I said CHOP onions!” over the headset. Couple’s therapy in game form.
5. Call of Duty: Warzone
Platform: Console, PC
Why it causes fights:
Warzone demands teamwork, but not everyone gets the memo. From lone wolves who ignore the squad to people who take loot without asking, there’s plenty to get mad about. Add kill-death ratio obsession and clutch-or-die pressure, and it becomes a perfect storm of passive aggression. Getting sniped while your teammate’s looting? Say goodbye to that friendship.
Final Thoughts
Multiplayer games bring people together—but they can also tear them apart. Whether it’s yelling about missed objectives or accusing your best friend of being “sus,” these titles are notorious for pushing tempers to the limit. So the next time you fire up one of these games, remember: it’s all fun and games… until someone rage-quits.
