Trying to figure out kids in matchmaking

I was recently playing a game of rumble hardcore ( stats ) and I placed 2nd in the game.  Now this is probably the first time Ive ever earned a Rampage in Matchmaking.  Not everyday I can go 15 kills without dying.  I can get 10 and right up to the 15 kill mark, but not to it.  I usually play with good players, so its a rarity almost.  Now I killed a guy in the Snipe 2 area who had a shotgun.  I picked it up, crouched down right above the doorway from snipe 1 so that I was centrally located in the snipe tower no matter which way they came from.  Now I received this just by shotty + beatdowns.  So towards the end of the game the guy who placed 3rd starts talking shit to me because pretty much all my kills were with the shotty.  This same guy before the game was saying "I cant even get an experience points for this game" due to him being a higher level than anyone.  So he continually makes comments towards me about how I was garbage because I used a different weapon other than what I started with.  Maybe it was cheap, but a kill is a kill.  Now there are only 7 players Im going against.  15 kills doing the same thing.  Now when in a game do you decide to stop going a certain way.  I mean how many times do I have to kill them to establish that Im in the snipe tower with a shotty.  So do kids get mad if you outsmart them?  I wasnt do anything extrordinary, but it was working for me.  I dont understand why people get mad over things like this in a game.  I mean its the same as when people run around with the sword, and whip it out at the last second to kill someone.  9 times out of 10 youll hear that player say something stupid.  I mean who will honestly sit here and say they wouldnt pick up the sword if they ran across it?  I think if more people would educate themselves on the game, and how to play it..... there would be less people getting mad.  Its really easy to kill most of the time.  You just have to put yourself in an area where your weapon does the most damage.  If youre a smarter player though youll figure out what areas you do good in, and which ones you dont on each map.  Once you learn an area youll know what weapons do you good.

Im surprised, but perhaps shouldnt be that you get those sort of comments in rumble hardcore. I have had a similar scenario play out on Ascension (non-hardcore) in which I holed up with a sniper and shotgun in the main tower. The same players would run in and give you the easy kill repeatedly, then bitch about it as though they didnt make poor decisions. I recall one player bringing in a shotgun (more ammo for me!) saying, "lets see if you like how it feels!" as he tries to gun me down with it, failing.

There are definatly some areas on maps I play better, so naturaly I gravitate to those areas when I can, if the other players start running at me and dying like little lemmings, they deserve what they get :)

Sounds typical...people always blame everything and everyone before theyll blame themselves. It wasnt that he repeatedly ran over to snipe like a dumbass. Nope, he deemed it undesirable that you were using your circumstances to your advantage and it worked out unfavorably for him. Good job!

I think its some sort of revenge thing. I have a tendency to try to dislodge someone from a certain area if theyve killed me a few times there. I recognize that it makes no sense, but its something I have to try and usually fail to do.

i have the same problem as frightened ninja sometimes, just ask smoke, but i dont bitch about it. you win with what you can. reminds me of a game in hardcore rumble when i was stealing this kids kills, over and over again. Tard starts yelling at me, why are you stealing my kills?!, and i told him, "cause youre letting me". that was it and after that he had a vendetta against me for the rest of the game. too bad he sucked.
