shouldnt need to pause ever in a ladder game, fuck pausers
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Oh goodness me, FOX tv where do you get your sight? Can't you keep track, the puck is black. That's why the ice is white.

Someone remind me again why we need to allow both players to unpause the game?

Also I've noticed zerg players have just the worst manners ever. Terrans might get pissed off and float buildings away, protosses might cry OPMATCHUP, but for some reason bad mannered zergs can be the most hateful, spiteful people you'll ever meet in an anonymous environment. It really takes away from some of the fun of laddering.

Just plan when ya play sc2 ladder. there are no breaks midgame T_T.

I've had this done to me many times.
Be thankful that drop hack from SC1 isn't in this game. If you think that having someone unpause on you is bad, think about having the drop screen pop up and the only way to exit the screen is to click "drop", drop drops you. I hate you drop hackers!

The bm on SC2 is unreal and like the saying goes... If you can't beat them.......... Join a group on facebook that hates them.
Wishing you well.

In my experience zerg is the most frustrating race to play by faaaar, that's probably why. I've laddered about 250 wins with T and Z and about 500 as P, and Z is the only race that makes me want to just throw my mouse at the wall after games.

IMHO it doesn't really matter as your mmr and adjusted ladder points will tend towards your real skill in the long run, so losing a game to these kind of things won't be consequential. Try not to take these kinds of people and their antics too seriously.

That first part is a joke right? What would there be to stop me from pausing the game when I'm losing, walking away, and never coming back?

It is sad that people will go that low for a stupid win on ladder.

Thank God for me the counter to a 6 pool is a 10 pool
I can't bring myself to get a pool earlier than 14, whatever matchup, and I feel terrible when I have to pause. Just last weekend I started a game and about 3 minutes in I sneezed and had to get up and get toilet paper from the other side of the room, but I still felt bad asking for a pause. So I didn't, I just ran as quickly as i could across the room and back, Unfortunately for me I was being 11/11 raxed. Oh well.
Off topic, I've won all my games today so far, including against protoss, my hardest MU. ^^ I had to share that.

Today, I decided to ladder, and encountered a wild zerg player. We started off the game with, "gl hf!'" and "u2". A little bit after he asked if he could pause really quick. I let him pause and he afked for about a minute or so. So, I alt-tabbed for a little bit, and when I checked back roughly 15 secs the game was running!?! I was shocked and asked, "Dude, wtf!? Why did u unpause randomly without asking? " He replied, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know. Don't worry it's just 10 seconds." I was pissed off, but decided to just let it go... Afterwards, when I scouted his position, I was even more shocked... He 6 pooled me... I saw the lings came out and only 5 drones mining. At this point, I'm beyond angry, I quickly tried to put down a forge and wall-off completely. But it was too late, the lings ran in, and raped me. I asked him, "wow... I paused for you and u just rudely unpaused to 6 pool me?" I got no reply and rage quit from the game. I messaged him angrily and then I saw, " The player is ignoring you." I basically deduced that this kid purposely paused and unpaused shortly after without asking to hopefully get a win with his 6 pool... Now pissed off, I'm ranting about this.


I'm by no means a nice guy on ladder but i'd never consider pulling anything as underhanded as this.

OH YES! I hate that. Most annoying thing ever. Why is it relevant to our game? I usually ignore them, or type n/a. I once got 'asl' too. I frowned. Hard.

Yeah some people are just assholes like that

On the bright side, once you get to top of the ladder (high master+) most people are really nice and respectful (at least from what i saw on EU), i once started a match vs some guy called TMCKrolu and it was PVP, We decided to play rock-paper-scissors to decide who wins, i won and he said gg and left :D! I start asking people for rock-paper-scissors every time i get a PvP!
