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
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

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

I would probably BM you too if you're this illiterate and winning games..
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

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.

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

I just like to troll them. Whenever they type anything, just respond with "lol u mad bro?" or "lol but y u so mad tho?" and other stuff like that.

Of course it can be occasionally fun to get into an all out flame war, but in that scenario you have to disregard all reason and just say mean shit-- doesn't have to be even remotely true, but as long as you don't actually read and absorb the things they're typing to you, they can't possibly affect you as much as you affect them.

If you wanna pwn a BM just act like you are in control. Pretend you are powerful, you have connections, you are the boss, like you are superior to them.
The truth does not require your approval.

I can atest to that. i'm Plat since start of season 3 and it's just amazing. Way less BM in gold. Yesterday this guy told me "FU" about 10 times because he failed a proxy two gate and i 9 pooled, crippled him and proceeded to defend a late 4 gate. he called me a "homocunt" hahahaha.... never heard that one before.

What i like to respond to them (and i think it really pisses them off) is:

Player: FU homocunt
Me: You must be a little kid or something
Me: Don't cry
Me: Just a game
Player: FU
Me: like 12 or 13 max... for sure
Player: why are you provoking me? You're immature
Me: really? please go away.

An then i block him.

Thought i'd share that

I rage back. I've been working on not doing that, as a misunderstanding caused me to tell a perfectly innocent guy to fuck off today.

hehe, I like this one

Usually I'll just read what they say and move on. Don't think I've ever had an issue of someone messaging me after a game to BM me. I've only ever messaged someone back once when he BM'd me as I pressed surrender to have a back and forth chat, etc... Other times, I'll chat with someone after a game to respond to something that they mentioned within the game that I couldn't answer or if I felt they played well, but, it just happened that they lost(maybe luck played a role, etc....). Everyone I chatted with aside from that one guy was pretty nice and some even said that the rage is normal and they don't mean it, etc....

Just reply to everything in a non appropriate Japanese Emote for the situation. If you don't have a japanese keyboard you can just copy paste it from a website.

I tell them to troll harder. UMadBro? works as well. Only if they message you after game of course. Then ignore as fast as possible.

Plat and diamond are going to be the peak leagues for BM. It's the people that spend enough time on the game to care, but aren't intelligent enough to know that BM is retarded (Because let's face it, BM at some level is inversely correlated with intelligence).

well 'cuz this got bumped anyways I am surprised at the amount of bm on the sc2 ladder. I haven't really played much past 4 months or so, but it wasn't like this before. yesterday it was just
*gamestarts*
me: "gl hf gg"
them: "OP FAGGOT"

seriously people are funny nowadays. after the game I just go to the next, but people apparently immediately add me to ignore and proceed to bm lol. Even though I never say anything they add ME to ignore.

anyways, when people bm me I just normally go "ugosugosu!! ^_^ me no eng" and they will stop soon after you pretend to be korean/non english speaker. Works particularly well in sc2 on NA server.

I wont sugarcoat it...I BM ALL THE TIME. Those of you who've had the pleasure of recieving it know it's quite fun. But yes... I rage, typing out my aggression onto my opponent is a stress reliever therefore therapeutic and healthy

Best thing to do is just speak in broken English, seems to make them mad everytime.
