I just can't take seriously the people who insist that it's unfair because they are getting ganked 5v1. They never understand that in every situation, five friends playing on the same server could do the exact same thing, but more effectively. It's completely an e-peen thing. Losing implies that they suck, and that's unacceptable, so they must come up with an excuse. When it's five separate people, they must be a bunch of dicks who go around ganking with unfair odds. When it's a five-boxer, they can use the much easier and more satisfying 'omg hax' defense.

When, really, the answer is don't go up against five guys by yourself, dumbass.
