Ladder BM Ruined My Day
So I've been trying to ladder down my bonus pool, and I roll up a TvP on Shakuras. I can immediately tell this guy is a punk because he plays Protoss. But I have respect for everyone, so give out my traditional gl hf...
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/AwQKOl.jpg)
...AND HE DOESN'T RESPOND.
Now this doesn't mean he's BM, but it's a bad sign. I'll let my screenshots speak for themselves. Basically, this guy ruined my day. I let him and his freaking BM get under my skin even though I shouldn't. I kind of pride myself on at least being OK, manner wise, and trying to enjoy the ladder experience as much as possible. but when you encoutner BS like this on the ladder, it really makes you feel bad, even if you were feeling good.
I'm not even sure what to say other than that. I don't get BMed much, as a macro-style terran, but when I do, it just gets me so mad. What do you guys do when you see this kind of egregious BM on the ladder? It's even worse when they do it when the win, because then I can't even feel good about having won the game...
Rest of the images in the spoiler.
As you can see, I am a paragon of manner and this guy is just an asshole. I don't know how to even deal with this level of BM:
+ Show Spoiler [Protoss BM] +
Any advice on how to deal with this bm? tricks to keep it from making you mad? thanks guys!

bitbybit told me the best way to deal with BM is by scv marine all-ining, so you should try that for a few games!
|
Oh lord, i'm hoping this was an arranged game O_o
|
Ugh, people like that Lucein guy are ruining the Starcraft II community and hurting eSports as a whole. Good job staying in the game despite his horribly passive-aggressive apologetic attitude.
|
lol that's just hilarious, nothing to get mad about.
|
Ah man, I'm sorry you had to deal with that BM protoss player. When people are so insensitive like that on ladder it really gets under my skin as well. Cheer up champ, not everyone is a jerk :'(
|
I'm sorry to hear about the bm. It's actually kinda out of character for you to write such a somber blog; I'm afraid I don't have any words of wisdom though 'cause I don't ladder all that much. ._.
|
|
yeah, that Lucien guy really needs to get better, I mean not only does he BM, he floats a ton of money the whole game! such a jerk!
|
Not sure if trolling or really be serious about this... Because if I understand well, you were the Terran and *YOU* BM him all the game long.
My simple advice is, if you GL HF and you opponent does't not respond, keep quiet and don't go mad. The best answer to someone ignoring you and/or BM you is just to stay focus and CRUSH HIM in the game.
Period.

You manged to support 14 minutes 10 seconds to this BMer? You're a hero, man! I would have exit right from start after seeing his ugly BMer soul!
|
Lucien is a Master of self control.
I have a tip for you: don't be a jerk in game (and out of it btw) and you'll start to mass wins in no time! True story!
|
111 and bm, What's the issue here?
|
I feel terrible for the person you played if they didn't know you were going to do that coming into it. Assuming that's the case, I also can't believe how incredibly manner that player was.
Excellent blog. Ladder BM Made My Day
|
If you dont' want to deal with bm, press f11 and click on the square by your opponents name. He is muted and thus you will not see any text. It's what I do when I get bm'd. It's what I did whenever I saw combat/deezer and all they would spam all game were how bad you are. Also did it vs zilea cause that guy says the stupidest shit (omg I won blizzcon in WoW, I have 5600 followers) as if that means he's good . But yeah if you dont' want to deal with it ever or he says something that irritates you do what I said f11, click on the squar on the menu that pops and you won't see any more of his writing.

What a poor Protoss player. Having to deal with terrible people like you must have ruined his day.

Thanks for the advice, it made my day !
|
I'm not sure if I find this particularly funny.
|
Rule #1: don't say GLHF, don't say GG, don't say anything, don't read anything.
Bam! You've solved BM on the ladder!
|
icwutudidthat BH....... very clever >.>
Aside, made my day :D
|
that's why there is a ignore button in the game
|
just get experience and you will learn to laugh or ignore if someone bms
|
this blog is pretty excellent for fishing out people who don't actually read posts
|
I know this was supposed to be a troll, but as a protoss player I can feel nothing but pity for the poor guy, I mean really? BM'ing him to death for no apparent reason, and then go 1/1/1? Not to mention he seemed like one of the most apologetic, friendly blokes you'll ever see on ladder.
|
hahaha well played good sir, well played. You got me.
|
In these situations it is best to ignore him.
And tell him the truth after the game
|
props to you for keeping your cool when facing such a behavior BH!
|
I really don't know how you didn't find this hilarious. From my perspective it was very funny.
|
Edit 2: Wow... I just went back to the OP to read more of the text, I just went over the pics quickly to read the BM. Well played Sir... you got me. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/OTax1.png) ___________________________________________________ Did that really get to you? I think it's quite amusing.
The BM that really disturbs me is when they start going into wishing you cancer and all kinds of horrible deaths and misfortunes for you and your family. That sort of stuff really makes me wonder if I want to play this game again. That's a line that I wouldn't cross and a line that when it's crossed against me, really gets to me. I wouldn't wish anyone a slow and painful death and I would certainly not wish for anyone to lose their loved ones.
I love creative BM, where the people aren't taking themselves too seriously (I hope you step on a Lego piece.) and this one was just one of the many "P OP" whines that every P gets on ladder.
Edit: How to deal with it.
Ok, here is what I am doing. I am in general extremely mannered when it comes to SC2 because I think it's fun to talk to people during the game. I always start off the game with something along the lines of "GLHF and all that good jazz" or "GLHF ♥." I don't know how many people I have taught how to do the ♥ instead of <3. (It's ALT+NUM3)
What does that have to do with dealing with BM? It's simple. After a game where you had to deal with a lot of BM that really got to you, just keep playing and be friendly and talkative during the next game. That usually results in some kind of civil exchange of thoughts and will restore your faith in the SC2 community after a low blow. Talk about a tournament that's going on, talk about that sick Marine split by MKP in the last game against DRG during MLG, teach someone how to do the ♥ or whatever you want. It's amazing what happens simply by being nice. I know it sounds like I am making this up but I have actually watched the replays of games I have won against opponents together with them and we shared our analysis. (It is a bit complicated because you can't really watch replays together, thanks Blizz). This sort of stuff does happen! Bring it out in people and you will laugh about BM like this.
For the sake of not painting a wrong picture of me. I do get angry and I am not always that nice. There are games where I start off with a "GLHF ♥" and end with something like "If I was orb, I would call you all kinds of insensitive things, but since I am not I will just not say GG". Don't flame me for bringing up orb, I always make a reference to what he does when he rages because it makes my raging seem more intelligent and funny.

Ah man Protoss so BM all the time on ladder!!!111one!!@1!2
|
The text in the pics are so small i cbb to read it and find out who the BMer is.
|
|
|
I've been dealing with bm since 1999, at the end the best way to deal with them, is to not say anything...
|
I do hope this was an arranged game.
Other wise you're a real chode.
|
Macro-style terran got me
|
Interesting experiment to find out what percentage of people post before reading the entire thing xD
|
omg i skipped the text part and read only the screenshots t-t now i feel stupid

I... I don't know what to say
The sarcasm overload is so big that its clouding the actual "oh look its actually a funny blog" agenda
|
Oh man, the subtle terrible spelling of words.
|
Was plesantly surprised by opening this blog 5/5.
|
What I expected: Another whiny manner blog. What I got: Hilarity in abundance.
Thanks.

Where once there was combatex, now step forth Blazinghand!!

Period. I think you're missing something ^^

I usually find the best way to deal with bm is actively respond and joke around with your opponent. He calls it OP you just say "I know right! Look how easy it is to beat you lol" and just try to make a game out of the banter. It makes fun rather than depressing and annoying.
There are plenty of people that don't talk at all when they play. That's not really a sign of anything.
Edit: goddammit. I read the whole post I was just confused who was who in the game ;_;
|
I think this is a test to see how many people actually read original posts in general.
But seriously I feel like I should just mute everybody when I start playing, to avoid any BM whatsoever. But I'm not sure if there's a limit on the number of people I can block...if I ever reach that point I'll need a new solution. I can't *not* read the text he/she is typing!! Ugh .
Also OP that better have been against a friend, otherwise shame on you!!! Its hard to imagine it being a normal guy/girl...he's just too nice!
|
Actually pretty nice blog

lol please tell me that wasnt a ladder game, that is so hilariously unlike you lol.
|
People find this shit amusing? I don't know about you or your reputation, but if you spend your time BMing nice guys on ladder and then bragging about it on a forum there's something wrong with you and the people who enjoy such things. It even breaks all the rules, I've no idea how you are still able to do this.
|
I realise this is meant as a joke in response to all the threads about Ladder BM lately, but I dont find it funny. Such demeaning, pathetic behaviour shouldnt be promoted in any shape or form, because its just that, pathetic.

Yeah, almost as lame as the blog itself. And thanks for reminding me, almost forgot to give it a 1/5.

This blog was great to begin with. and now that post HAHAHAHA

So if someone doesnt respond with a glhf you have the right sling shit their way? Honestly, it doesnt matter. If it bothers you that much, then you're way too sensitivie or something else is wrong with you.
|
A++++++++ would read again!
|
Is this supposed to be funny?

I think so... my funny meter must be off today though, I am more confused than anything.

To all you people who keep saying "oh the poor toss player": you didn't read the comments on the front page where Lucien himself posted lololol
|
I feel so bad for the Protoss player... he was hanging in there like such a champ 
EDIT: Ctrl + f "Lucien" on the first page of the comments. Epic troll.
|
"People" like you are whats wrong in this community.
You need to stop playing Starcraft 2 and go back to throwing chairs at your mother in temper tantrums.
Regards <3
|
Well... the poster is Blazinghand and the name of the BMer is Blazinghand... WTF is going on? EDIT: seems kinda arranged. It made me lol
|
Ladder BM ruined; my day.
You just forgot some punctuation in your title ^^.
|
3/5, it was OK, but the insults were too generic. please put more effort
|
lolol, funny that these 2 are actually friends ^^ lolol U MADE A FAKE BM THREAD!!!! RUDEEE!!!!
U trickster youuu
|
laughed so hard "glhf" 'HE DIDN'T RESPOND!' at this point i think not responding on sc2 ladder is the more manner thing you can do lol.. it's pretty normal to throw out a gl hf and get 'fucking zerg omfg you're so imba how do you even lose piece of shit faggot' thrown back at you with letters mismatched etc
|
Made my day. I sometimes have to fight real hoards of bm protosses, when i lost a couple tvps after the 15 minute mark >_>

lol nicely done. I was a bit confused at first but caught on after I opened the pictures
|
lol nice try but it wasn't that funny
|
Well, that TvP BM was pretty standard for the current metagame imo. Coulda cut down on the spelling errors imo tho.
