Let me explain to you from the other perspective why noobs are frequently not welcome. Now let me start by I don't yell at noobs, I do my best to help them once they are in a game, no point in harassing them once the game has started.

Just put yourself in my shoes for a sec. I play the pantheon tourney mainly, and after waiting around 30min-45min for a game to actually connect, about half the time I am either 2v1 or with a computer. Now imaging my frustration that the one time I am actually with a person that it is a noob, his first day with the game, and I lose.

I am fine with noobs, but I think they should stick to custom or skirmish untill they have atleast played a few games and not ask questions like "Where do I buy equiptment? At the citadel?"

As much as I agree elitest players are annoying and the moment you make a mistake or make a build that they don't "approve" they cuss you out, but on the other hand, they are dedicated players. As a new game, demigod needs that group of dedicated players to keep the multiplayer alive and well.

I've played in of your games and I am truely appreciative of that. I am not a noob but I just don't pick up on strategies probably like the hard-core player does. I am trying to learn and be good but, I will never discourage a new player from playing because they aren't padding my stats. Thanks for your consideration of all players. 

Newbs are fine, until your team has one and their team does not.

Then they become a weight that drags you down.  You know you might have been able to win if it just weren't for that newb!

A matchmaking system is supposed to fix this by matching newbs or noobs with other newbs and noobs.  The Demigod matchmaking system is currently in shambles.  That's why I don't trust it and only play custom games.

People should never flame noobs if they join up a random game. The only time I glady flame them without any guilt is when they join a Custom Game labelled, "Good Players Only etc." or something along those lines.

If your playing Pantheon and joining random Custom Games that dont include anything about no noobs being allowed in their title then you simply have to expect them to be on your team, and you have no right to flame them.

I know im still guilty of a bit of flaming but I will try and be more friendly to them. (I remember my games in DotA....ugh the flaming was terrible) and I dont want Demigod to turn out like that. So far its been much better though.

Maybe if you weren't so fixated on winning nomatter the cost you'd take a kinder approach to people who've played less than you have. I've won a pantheon game by taking advantage of my "newb" teammate by asking him to bait the enemy demigods into chasing him, while I ran to their portals and capture locked them with catapults.
