Yeah, it sucks when it happens, but don't let it get to you. It really is luck of the draw anyway. I had a week during beta where I got BM'd almost every game, and nowadays it almost NEVER happens.

they're psychologically projecting... it has nothing to do with you

if someone watches your play and fair-mindedly comes up with the notion that you're awful... they aren't gonna tell you about it in that way. at worst they'd give you tips to help you improve. if someone just all-out calls you bad - never having seen either a replay or your face, they're not being 100% honest or fair with their evaluation or their tongue

so treat it like the joke it is. they're talking to a computer screen acting as a mirror. if they're doing it in midgame they're trying to get in your head. if they're doing it postgame they're trying to get out of theirs.

I know what you mean, In the higher leagues you get this less and less often in my experience but I can only imagine what it's like at the lower leagues ( don't know what league your in, I'm just saying). If a person says anything at all to me in game i usually block communication with them right when the game is over. I definitely don't blame you for wanting to take a break though.


I've found that the higher leagues are actually the worst for this. Players in plat and below know they aren't very good, there are always some who think they are god but not too many. They BM about using cheap strats, when you get to diamond then they start the noob shit cause suddenly everyone thinks they are idra or Jinro (obviously not EVERYONE, i should have said every fucktard).

I had it earlier today, i started a new account on US a few days ago, the game before i got promoted to Diamond i got beat by some twat who said things during the game like "I'm letting you live, you do know that?" which i actually found funny at the time, anyways.... when the game is winding down and he's taken the entire map (he had been refusing to kill me off so i kept fighting with what i had) then starts telling me I'm awful blah. Finally the game finishes, i gg and leave.

The guy then sends me a message basically saying "You are such a noob, you are horrible". By this point the guy is just pissing me off and i happen to be looking at his profile so i reply "Hmm... I have 53 games played, am rank 70 plat and am playing against a 2400 diamond. Your MMR must be really bad."

After that, I got nothing more.

This is generally how I deal with the idiots who feel that beating me didn't make them feel manly enough (yes its ALWAYS men, I am a man.... I know women would be more creative than just saying "noob") and now they want to penis fence from behind the safety of 4000 miles of ocean and a computer screen. I don't need to be an ass to my opponents to feel like a man.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

Haven't run into it too much myself, but personally if I've won and they're bm'ing, I just think it's funny. Skill vs bm, I'll keep my skill and they can keep their bm and their internet 'tough guy' attitude. I just find it funny how people can be so angry over the game and at the same time insult you for playing the game to much. What? Now who cares more about the game? Their rage doesn't even make sense- thus funny.

I can see how losing and receiving bm would be more aggravating as it's insult to injury. Offensive gg's still do rile me as I never prolong the game if I can't win.

My brother just played a 2v2 match and received a f*** you faggot after his and his partner's gl hf... so my brother and his partner straight up worker rushed them and won! So funny, particularly as my brother never cheeses.

When people talk shit to me in SC, I can't help but laugh. I can't help but think of the insecure nerd on the other side of the screen who needs acknowledgment. That always makes me smile.

I find the best to way to avoid bm is to not play terran or protoss.

I almost never had BM, at least not more than one ragequit line. What do you do to upset so many players!? I play try to force macro games whenever I get the choice, do you cheese every game or what?

I would be cautious in blaming the OP for bm. Considering bm is under control of whoever is dishing it out. Furthermore, I don't know how a person can upset a player with gl hf. I mean I guess in rl, there are some people that respond to 'good morning' with 'f*** you,' but generally we'd think the f-u guy was either having a bad day or is a jerk.

Random chance? Some players run into more bm than others? A particular level of rank on Battlenet? I wouldn't be surprised if high plat, low diamond is where most bm occurs. Knowledeable enough to think they're good, but not wise enough to know that there is a lot more to learn/ have a healthy respect for their opponent.

Ive never 6 pooled, never 2 rax and thats it, cause i dont like protoss too much. Its usually when an early battle comes, and for example i loose some lings cause they're missrallied. Okay fine they die. And then the fucktard says "omg your terribad". Fine its fine. But it just pisses me off, makes me play worse. Never insult. Its like if they see your not responding to the BM theyre just more excited about keeping BM'ing. And im not like a cold hearted guy that can take all the insults and just laugh at him, i go nuts and i wish i could do something about it. BUT its a game and i cannot do anything. So

1) hes laughing at me because hes winning in a game
2) i cant do nothing but feel worse, and play worse.

I think theres no real solution. I just dont like these type of guys, but well what can you do, my RL friends doesnt like these kinda games and my girlfriend is not very good but shes tries

lol i've been bm'd a few times but out of the many many games i've played its only a small minority, you must just be really unlucky or maybe it's like others have said, platinum to low diamond is the worst?

i almost never BM unless the guy BMs first. seriously, I once played 1 million lings on ICCup, and this guy thought he was so good and I was "stealing" his kills by parking my cannons at the edge. After going on and ranting on how I suck, he loses everything he has and blames me by saying "if I had more kills and more money, I'd survive". now, clearly he didn't know how to play 1 million lings, because you get your money and units back at the end, so we lose while he's still ranting. I was tired of him BMing me so much, I challenged him to 1v1 to make him stfu. After beating him, he goes on how he was too tired (bs) and other stuff.

It was funny though, watching the guy cry and get owned. seriously, 99.9% of the people that BM are probably noobs who are pissed that they suck nuts...
