After a bad game, Patricija tends to let her emotions get the best of her- especially online. Growing up in the social media era, it's common for her to check her statistics after every game played and peruse over the comments made online. Normally, this isn't such a big deal, as even in a below average performance she carries a high confidence level that lets her brush off common trolls. However, after something like a 7-1 loss, it's likely there would be so much feedback online that she would feel as if she had no choice but to respond to the criticism, especially levied at her teammates. Even more so than her own reputation, she hates to see people online say bad things about her teammates. More than once has she been reprimanded by team staff for using less than polite terms with fans online. Generally, a poor performance does encourage her to step her game up in the next contest, however, getting the words out online after a tough loss is one of the quickest ways she can think of to bounce back while under pressure.
