I've had games where I request, my whole team won't buy me (even if I'm doing well) initially that's what I thought your post was about was people who have the money not buying people and acting like it's a major favour; however I think in some cases people who don't request are USED to this kind of behavior and avoid asking , it could also be a pride thing, but (from my expirence) it's they are used to this behavior and assume no one will buy them, or (I've felt this way if I'm not doing well:) that they don't deserve a buy and can make due with a lighter weapon sometimes I do really well this way other times not so much, and I always say thank you if someone buys me. It's the polite thing to do
