Somehow my brain has adapted to filter out the retards in chats so I'm usually oblivious to thier mindless chats but there is another category that annoys me greatly.

It's those morons whose names are always SKT1_Bisu, Savior, Jaedong, KTF_Flash etc. I mean, all they do is choose the nick of a good player and type stuff like " hi guise i totally obliterated that guy in pl today", "im going to win the msl, the other players are bad" and so on. Fuck that isn't even close to being funny and even ignoring them is hard because their nick appears in 60% of the lines in the chat.

I hate it when people choose some random ass color and also bold and italicise their type. As if we need to see something like "HEY GUYS BISU IS THE BEST I SUCK HIS BALLS" on every single line. As if they are somehow more important than everyone else.

The color fonts should be used only be the streamer himself, or people like translators who have a reason to make their type distinctive. Everyone else who changes their font color is just stupid enough that they think their retarded comments need to be neon.

You know, it's not about "Livestream people" like they would be some odd bunch of trolls who live under a rock. It's rather the format of Livestream and the constant typing by numerous people that makes short and provocative statements stand out. Thus people behave like retards in order to be recognized and this can't be done by writing a thoughtful post on TL.net.

if you dont like the chat, then use the zeroboy without it.

I always join the chat and talk to other people because thats what a chat is for.

People should keep their manner on a chat though and at the very least not insult the streamer.

You forgot about the people who keep asking "who's who?" again and again

And the people who keep asking for the score

And the people who keep going "GG X lost" every time some random event happens when it's not even close to fucking GG

Don't forget about the D- level players that think they know anything about the game and do blatantly wrong play-by-plays.

complaining about chat is like complaining about /b/. Why bother?

I actually hate the people who complain every minute about how the stream "lags" for a second. "LAG. FIX PLZ"

Ungrateful bastards. Oh and the influx of Chinese people that swarm in from PLU and YY are starting to piss me off for some reason.

I would not care about chat but problem is that even if you use zeroboy thing there is going to be hidden chat which gives lag when too much lines typed. They should just take chat off when they start streaming.

LOL who's that guy who always whispers Lz like he's Lz's friend or something?
He's so annoying and got me a 5 minute ban for no reason T.T
Banning is nice because they can still watch the stream, but just can't talk.

Firstly, get on iCCup more. Secondly, don't go in stream chat, it's a trap. All the retards come out to play. Just watch the stream.

Same. I can't handle it at all. It is like YouTube comments, live.

The stream chat is like the cesspit of competitive BW. Even if you want to have a decent conversation, there's just gonna be too much retards and clowns barging in there, rampaging through the chat like an elephant in a porcelain shop. After 1 minute, the whole chat turns into a giant, #@&%£ shitfest. I was in denial for a while, the first few days the chat was nice actually, but now I just never read the chat anymore because it makes me want to bludgeon someone to death, especially when they start ranting about the nice guy who is putting in effort to make sure people can watch his stream.
