Ok, this is my first blog so I was kind of confused when making it :S. Anyways here goes.

*Kinda a long post, no TL;DR

So i hoped onto bnet today, all was fine until i met a few assholes (not sure if this language is allowed but i was kinda pissed after what they did). The first game was a ZvZ on meta. It started out a bit weird, i saw fast lair, so i assumed fast muta/roach upgrades (the latter not that viable). So i decided to throw down 2 spores, 1 in each of my bases just incase (since i expo, my tech was severly behind his). He ended up going roach burrow with movement and tried to use some micro, but i had detection. Needless to say his eco was bad and i ended up winning. However at the end he started saying "you're a fucking noob, you won cuz of luck with your spore, and i told him why i put it down, and all he could say was ur a fucking idiot and lucky you scrub". Ofc i was annoyed. He then ended the game and checked my profile...more on this later.
*don't have chat log, since i lost replay somehow.. but most of the smack talk wasnt ingame, it was via bnet chat anyways.

Later in the day i decided to play some more ladder on my friend's account. I got matched with a P on shakuras, and the first thing the P says is "wow EZ win for Z". I didn't bother to pay attention to this, it ended up being a 40min game with all but 1 expo taken, but due to slight better army positioning by me, and him forgetting storm/delayed? (he has HT but no storm). I ended up winning. But he wouldn't leave and i wasted trying to find his buildings. The sad thing was he was ahead for most of the game (2 base Z vs 2 base P for a long time, before i grabbed 3rd, and got shut down, he got 3rd right after). However prolly due to his weird army comp (had all tech tree, kinda weird o.O) he ended up not having that big of an army. I started to get really annoyed since he wouldn't leave. There wasn't alot of talking in this one but you get the idea.

00:00:07 - mads to ALL: autowin map for zerg
00:00:09 - mads to ALL: lucky you

00:00:20 - PYSK to ALL: great another complainer

00:22:31 - mads to ALL: that was fucking gay
00:22:31 - mads to ALL: ai

00:22:42 - mads to ALL: absolutely nothing else

00:22:47 - PYSK to ALL: ?
00:22:47 - mads to ALL: no skill on your part. trust me on that one.
00:22:49 - PYSK to ALL: ai?
00:22:52 - PYSK to ALL: im so sure

00:23:10 - PYSK to ALL: think what you will but they way this game is looking
00:23:13 - PYSK to ALL: looks like i beat you

00:29:40 - mads to ALL: way to go scrub
00:29:45 - mads to ALL: you barely won on the easiest zerg map there is
00:29:49 - PYSK to ALL: ur funny

This guy wasn't as bad as the first, but srsly? how immature some ppl get. Also, just reading the game log you might think ur just being oversensitive, but the timing he did it was just annoying. Like i said the first one was more annoying, and that got me on tilt for this one


Now back to the profile thing i mentioned. I was on my friends account- he was in silver league, but over the course of 40 games this past week i got him into 1k diamond. The 2 games i mentioned were 3k diamonds. And i can't help to think ppl are more inclined to bash me on my friend's account since his point value are so low, (i mean honestly, its kinda embarassing for 3k to lose to 1k).

I think the point I'm trying to make is that why do ppl troll/bash ppl that they lose to when they feel they shuda won (due to point difference). This may sound ignorant but I was way better than my opponents in both those games and yet they called me scrub... like seriously how f'cked up are people on bnet. On my main account i don't have these issues, but over the 40ish games i played on my friend's, i've had numerous occasions where thats happened.

Has anyone have this experience whether with their own account or anothers? Honestly i don't even know how to respond to that when it happens since the only thing i can think of is I beat you, but then again thats why they begin in the first place. I guess i just wanted a way to vent it out haha.. In a way i was baffled, yet it was kinda funny that a worser player wud have the nerve to say that. (Normally i don't like calling ppl noobs/worser players but these two ppl are just jerks). I hope this stops when the point value differences arent as high...^^

Kind of a long, hope it was a good read

~not really sure if this is blog-type-ish, but i thought better here than the other forums

I get the same occasionally even if I'm the same rating as my opponent. My favorite is the Protoss players; so many claim zerg shouldn't just macro and expect to win (either in post game chatter if I lose or on forums), but the second I do a timing attack on their 3 gate expand I'm an all-in scrub who can't play late game.

Arguing with ragers/trolls is so 2010. Don't waste your time explaining your actions, just give them a one-hitter-quitter like "you're bad, get over it" and then ignore them on battle.net.

And while smurfing and stomping noobs is always fun, you should be careful about boosting your friend's MMR too high, as you are setting him up to play against much better players than him, if he does ever decide to play 1v1.

Also, "scrub" is quite a mild insult if he was genuinely trying to offend you, at least for internet standards. Nowadays its pretty much only used by 13 year old kids who haven't been desensitized by the internet yet.

lol scrub was me understating it, they used "harsher" words, yeah i guess, also my friend doesnt ladder, thats why i decided to ladder (since i wanted to try new builds)

Don't try to talk to them, chances are you'll just feel worse

my way of dealing with BM people is spouting nonsensical things at their comments
for example:

xxxLegolasDarkRangerxxx: Wow ur a total faget hacker
MrHoon: pineapples are a form of hedgehog condemned by god
xxxLegolasDarkRangerxxx: fuck u
dats racist

Not my story and not entirely the same deal but I'll tell anyway. I have a friend who's in platinum because he doesnt ladder a lot but is quite a bit better than that because of solid mechanics (from sc1) and he practices with me sometimes. Anyways he likes to do those play/obs maps sometimes as well. Apparently those maps have like a "betting" system where the observers "bet" on who they think will win. From what he tells me, when he beats a high diamond/low masters, he gets BM'd pretty hard. D:

But I guess it would be worse if you lost your fake betting things over it. :O

Wow it sucks that this kind of things happen to you. But don't let it get to you. I've had several instances of people not leaving, and it's annoying as shit. But at the end of the day, a win is a win.

Whenever anyone msg's me during a game that is not a "glhf", "gg" or something useful, I ignore it until the game is over. I don't want to get distracted by typing anything. After the game is over, I sometimes throw a few retorts back but sometimes they ignore me straight after. Thus, my advice is to ignore.

My response to BM like that is just hold down my gg macro key button. It usually gets the job done :D

I think everyone at one point find these kind of morons on bnet, I used to just ignore them and after the game I hit the ignore button and done.
I love protoss because it is tough and straight. It is a race for the men. - Reach

Played a game against a random player on Shakuras. He spawns Protoss and does the pylon lock-himself-in cannon rush. I move to my nat, he proceeds to k4g me. I go all in with what I got, but not enough. Then he types 'glhf' as I was about to gg out. His ID? Dogs. A suiting ID indeed. -_-
