Had a guy rage quit a game of Root because I drafted the Vagabond first

This was at a local meetup in Raleigh last month, maybe 12 people there. We sat down for a 4 player game of Root and I picked the Vagabond on turn one. Guy across from me just slammed his card down and said 'I'm not playing against that broken piece of junk.' He packed his bag and left before I even rolled my first dice... I get that some folks hate the Vagabond but it's literally in the game for a reason. The rest of us had a decent time but it kind of killed the vibe for the night. Anyone else run into players who quit before the game even starts over a faction choice?

Oh man I had a buddy tell me this exact thing happened to him at a meetup in Charlotte last year. Some people just can't handle losing even before the game starts.

Oh for sure @williamschmidt, seen that same thing at a game night near Raleigh last spring.
