Alpha male? Why would you want to play with someone who has an inferiority complex?

Sounds like something a beta would say
If being a "beta" means you don't feel the constant need to overcompensate in order to better hide your feelings of inadequacy then sure, you pegged me right.
I'm still waiting for these "alpha" people to move on to an up to date model of psychology. Even the Myers-Briggs system is more up to date, and it first came around during WWII.

Ye, he's a beta
You do at least understand the flaws with the whole "alpha" and "beta" thing, right? It doesn't apply to humans in the way you think, and is used by people with an inferiority complex to make themselves feel better.
These "alpha" people have a real problem and they can be helped, but they have to admit they have a problem first. So long as they hide behind labels that make them feel powerful they will never become the truly confident people they could be.
We got the terms Alpha and Beta from wolves, and are still using it even though its out of date with technology...
It's an out of date mentality when it comes to humans is what I mean. Other types of animal actually have social hierarchies built around and alpha pair and a beta pair.
The people who use the terms for humans are doing so in a way that makes one group seem superior to the other. They view "beta" people as some inferior group one should strive to never be a part of. For animals that use the alpha/beta system the beta animals are literally the second in command, and are the leaders when the alpha animals are not around. Being a beta is a good thing for them, and earns you a great deal of respect within the group.
Humans are more advanced socially and so our social structure is not based on the rather primitive alpha/beta system.
The TLDR of it is that the alpha/beta system is a social structure, not a psychological one, and does not apply to humans in any way. People who view themselves as "alpha" have inferiority complexes and need some way to feel superior to others, and it's a real problem they can get help with.
I wish you saw how incredibly dense and pretentious you sound. This is a board for player recruitment of a video game - not a scientific forum.
First of all - the ego exists - and when humans use the word 'alpha' they typically mean a high performing individual with a very large ego. Or someone who is really good at something, and they know they are good at it. This is not a commonality. Therefore the word was adopted (LIKE SOOOOO MANY OTHER WORDS IN EXISTENCE) to fit that word into the world of humans.
Here's where you sound dense - no one who says 'alpha' is intending to describe a human being in the exact same way as these terms describe wolves or other animals.
So your TLDR - is wrong - being 'alpha' can absolutely relate to humans just like any word/idea can. No one is comparing people to wolves. It's a term used to described people who are good at something, and know it.
Also, in the league community, it's a meme. So if we pull our head out of our ass just long enough to look at the world in a realistic way (instead of relating every phrase to it's scientific derivative) we conclude that this post was asking for an ADC who is good, and who knows it, and also has kinda sense of humor (why I used the meme.)
Your entire arguement has a parallel.
Look at this scenario - I make a post that says 'lf duo partner - don't be a retard' - and then you go on a tirade explaining how the scientific explanation of mental deficiencies doesn't apply to a 'bad league of legends player'.... Which would be so obvious (like your wolf argument) that it isn't worth saying.
I don't doubt anything that your saying - but you're so far removed from context it sounds like you have your head up your ass.
Hopefully no hard feelings on this - I don't doubt your knowledge - it's just the context that makes no sense here.
I've had arguments with people who think "I'm an alpha male, I get to do what I want" before on here, so I'm sorry if I brought over any negative feelings from those other conversations into this one. There's a definite group of people who consider themselves to be "alpha" and it has nothing to do with being good at things. They really do appear to have an inferiority complex and they drive me nuts when they talk about how great they are and how they are better than the, to quote the guy I was arguing with, "beta cucks".
Well, since you seem like you won't quit your heresy until I slap you with some logic. Here we go:
Anyone who claims that social structures don't affect psychology are fucking retarded. In psychology, you approach questions using the biopsycho'social' approach. Wow, am I saying that society affects psychology? Wow, I am! There will always be those who are superior to others. It's a matter of biology, psychology, and society.
Biology- Animals in general always have a pack leader. Humans evolved for there to be a social aspect to it as well. Psychology- People, naturally, are either going to be leaders, or not. It's common sense. Some are satisfied with being lesser, some are not. Social- Resources are to be controlled. In this day and age. Power comes from the ability to control other people. Before that, it was a matter of who controlled the food.
Before your try to jump on the modern day Humanistic psychology's bandwagon train, make sure you actually know what you're talking about. Alphas and Betas are both very real. You denying it is nothing more than you being self righteous. Now quit being a beta cuck or accept the way the world works and be an alpha. Your choice, boi.
Wow you're a dense one. Face the truth mate, or at the very least actually read what I wrote, because you messed up on quite a bit regarding what I said. And next time reply to me please, so it informs me of your attempt to say something.
I'll use wolves as an example since they are the one most commonly cited. They are led by an alpha pair (one alpha male and one alpha female) and both members of the pair typically have equal leadership. The second in command is the beta pair, which takes command when the alpha pair is off doing things, and if they die the beta pair becomes the alpha pair. Everyone else is below the beta pair.
Lions have a different structure, in that there is one alpha male with mating rights and an alpha female who actually leads the pride when hunting and caring for young.
Great apes have alpha males too, but these males are not always the strongest or most intimidating of the group. They are often the males who work the hardest at keeping the group together, fed, and safe. Males who act like testosterone fueled idiots, as many human "alpha males" do, get the shit beat out of them not only by the actual leader of the group, but by the others. They are chased off and forced to survive on their own, at least until they are willing to rejoin the group at it's lowest ranks.
"Alpha" in all these cases just marks the position of leadership. It does not mark individuals capable of leadership, only those who have actually achieved it. You and people like you use it to describe an entire group of people, rather than a position, and so you try to use it to describe a psychological construct rather than a societal one. Yes society and psychology are linked very closely, but they are still separate things.
The best part of all this is there actually is a term for the non-leader group that has very little power and very little say, but it's not beta. Again I'll say the betas are the right hand of the alphas, and have a great deal of respect and power. The term you're actually looking for, which still doesn't apply to humanity by the way, is omega. The reason you and people like you don't use the term omega is because you have no idea how it applies to the social structure of animals.
I not only accept the way the world works, but I also seem to understand it far better than you do. You couldn't even be bothered to read and comprehend what I was saying before making your post here, and you expect me to believe you are leadership material? You didn't even bother to do some basic fact checking before you insulted my knowledge on this subject.
Don't be a joke, actually do some research before you try to sound like a leader.
So people studied animals - and use the term 'alpha' to describe their leaders - not their leadership qualities?
So I shouldn't ask for an alpha male - because 'most' people do not understand this distinction?
I feel like it's incredibly dense for you not to accept that words can mean different things over time.... WE made the words... WE choose how to use them...
Gay didn't always mean homosexual...
Alpha Male is now used to describe (sometimes) people who are high performers - and they know it.
To answer your initial question - why do you want to play with an 'alpha male' - because I want to play with someone who 1. has a sense of humor 2. has ability and 3. has confidence in that ability.
Confidence is a huge part of performing at any level.
You poor poor boy. If I cared enough to argue with you more, I would. But frankly I couldn't be bothered. You're too blind to others and you will only accept your ideas as truth. Which ironically is a very alpha trait to exhibit. It's a shame you don't realize it. later dude. Good luck
Holy shit this post is gold. You literally just said being blind to the truth is "a very alpha trait", which is about as wrong as you can get regardless of species. Leaders are not blind to the truth, only fools and the easily controlled are.
You're the one in need of luck mate, because you have a long way to go before you reach the ideal you think you are.
In this post you compared "a very alpha trait" to leadership... you just attributed this word (which by your own account should ONLY be used to describe wolf behavior) to a human trait.
I was actually referring to something he said, not making my own point.
