Ok so I'm not going to whine and say oh why'd this guy call me an op faggot and i cant play. Nope dont care bout BM its pretty funny actually but I was wondering if its the higher leagues that are plaqued by this i mean i ran into a couple of BM's throughout Bronze to Gold but i mean now im in plat and all im getting out or 30 games so far is Fuck you terran op bitch and shit like that or just rage quits no gg no skill though so i was wondering do you guys find that this is a trend as the leagues get higher and why so.

Here's what you do in this situation:
1) Message them after the game something like "it's pretty sad that you use zerg and still lost"
2) Block communication immediately before they can say anything

3) Use commas or other punctuation so your post is legible.

Punctuation is for sissies!! Plus intelligent people who have the time to do so and doesn't have a bunch of laddering to do.

Illiterate, hmm, well that may be the case but riddle me this. If I was illiterate how did I read that response?

Some people in GM do it too.

BM can actually have a psychological effect on a player, just ask Combat EX 0_o

lol - But seriously, I think you just have to shrug it off. If the player keeps it up, and sends you like 30+ messages, simply report them. I often just block players, or taunt them =D they type more and play worse lo. =D

I always love toying around with really BM people, like:
me: hf dood
bmer: shut the fuck up gay ass fatass
me: Alrite man, whatever you say ^_^ want to have some cyber?
me: okay imagine my fat greasy hands touching you all over your body

blah blah blah you know what happens next, funny thing is that they just shut up for the rest of the game.

I tend to just start up the replay and give them advice.

They don't enjoy that.

Just ignore those type of people on ladder. They're just baiting you for a response so don't give them that satisfaction. You can even mute them in game by pressing the top right button, so you can use that too. I would just keep queuing and not give them a second thought. Good Luck.

They're all over the ladder, from Zergs and Terrans (I've never been BM'd about imba from Protoss

) But yeah, ignore it, they're wasting APM on typing.

Ya know, on any other day I would probably agree with ya Hippo but this is actually a really good way to improve a key Terran skill. Which is multitasking. Thinking of something clever to say, typing it and macroing or microing all at the same time is a great way to build up that APM.

If someone chases me down after a game and BMs me, I say "I'm sorry, but I don't associate with bitches".
After that I say nothing to them ever again, and only if they get annoying I'll block them.

the higher you get, the more pricks you will witness, i guess its because of the time investment to reach the top and kids not being able to control their anger

just put em all on ignore
