You are not benefiting anybody, including yourself, for abandoning your teammates in combat

They will most likely show you the same courtesy.

And no, you cannot ponder in your thick skull.

"I should be able to decide if my I abandon my comrades, at any given time, yet I will berate my comrades and report them if they do the same."

No. If you want to play like a team player, play like a team player. If you do not want to play like a team player, EXPECT your teammates to show you the same courtesy. They are NOT your bitches, to command at your every desire.

After all, you are NOT going to advance in the ladder by doing this, so it's probably a good idea that your allies DO show you that courtesy, so you STOP playing with people who are going above and beyond what is expected of them in order to achieve victory. Because if you do not want to diligently participate as a team, you DO NOT belong in the same category as the people who do.

Get over yourselves, this is NOT about you, you, you. Ok? Earth to Jim. Nobody gives a shit about you, they really don't. They never have, and most certainly likely they never will.
