What type do you play, what types do you hate, what types don't you play, but respect?

I play a warrior with 2 swords and I like to lock down on an enemy and one by one take them all down.
I hate the typical mage that attacks from afar and teleports all over the place. I also hate the assassin's that spam the 1 overloaded ability that stuns, deals dmg, and applies status effect and then disappear in the shadows. Those two I find as the most cowards. I also look down on archers too.
I respect other warriors that use polearms or spears, two handed swords and get into the brawl.
I like tanks as well, as long as they don't think that they run the show.
How do you view other types that people play?

I do look down on stealth players in games that allow you to go invisible as a mechanic, but I am impressed by stealth players who use their targets FOV in games that don't allow you to go invisible. I loved creeping in the bushes at night in Ark with a sling shot. Some of the funniest kills in my life just popping people in the head while "Stealth".
I play mostly play ranged in MMOs, I can see why you would look down on ranged. For the many tasks it does tend to be easy. I used to love Melee DPS when I was younger, but I realized that Melee gets picked less often to handle mechanics on raid bosses due to them needed to be in melee range as often as possible to maintain max DPS. When I play DPS now I prefer ranged because I know I can volunteer to handle raid boss mechanics and get them right. I know I will be able to maintain DPS and make sure things are getting done right and the encounter can prog. Even if a melee DPS is good they will try to get out of mechanics to get a better parse. I just ended up enjoying raiding more as ranged.
I try not to look down on peoples play styles though. Unless something is just outright lame and broken. I have been the broken class before, and I hate it. I don't like feeling like I should reroll because my class is doing too well.
Edit: I forgot to give respect to (some)healers.
Especially in games with no addons. Healing can be brain dead in some games and mission impossible in others. I played a lot of healer over the years, and difficulty really depends on the game and class. When someone is healing well and the class is bad and the game just makes healing hard. I respect that.
This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.
Why disrespect people smart enough to play a build that makes your life harder?
They do when they give you disease...

My 2nd choice would be a mage/sorcerer (I'll choose spellblade in terms of AoC first i think) with big single target claps and some nice aoe.
I hate anything with too much cc, hate losing control of my character (Rogue's in Wow, im looking at you)
I respect healers alot, except for nature healers in Albion online, fuck them. I play healer myself if my friends already fill dps/tank slots.
Since wow is creeping into the discussion, as a main Shad priest, I rarely had an issue with rogues. FEAR was my best friend and they usually were dead - same with warriors, unless they were just that good. It was the hunter's (ranged) pets that would cause a rage quit. I think the pet stun effects were the worst. OR when a group zergs me and then they think they're all bad-a$$es. Yeah, I'm not a fan of ranged players (looking at NE hunters with blue hair and a case of jumpism).
I really respect tanks that can just keep getting hammered and control the event in pve and healers in pvp. I LOVE healing in PVP when a group cannot take me down as I stand and just keep healing my teammates and myself.
Players that make full use of the terrain, their characters ability, and have a unique play-style, or build that is different than meta are admirable. Be original.
I don't respect ranged players who sit as far back as possible and just spam whatever in the general direction of the enemy. Especially when chokepoints are involved. But I don't hate them, cause I get it, it's easy and gets the job done.
I respect tanks who somehow make everything easier for their party. Like they sustain through a ton of damage, while forcing the enemy into convenient spots, and never waste an opportunity to push for more. Honest-to-gods heroes.
@George Black agreed on flies.
Not so much on mosquitoes. its a dice roll every time you get biten by one of these fuckers.
