I hate the "go" gamer as well. I mean some of them join the game and type "go" faster than I can type "glhf". Slow the fuck down, I will type "glhf" and then I will start the game after you have selected a race, you will lose 1-2 seconds max. I don't like chatting during a game though, unless it's with a friend. But if it's just a ladder game then I don't want to chat after the first few minutes. But you can go ahead and chat after the game, unless you are bming

I like having a practice partner, but if I play ladder... its all about the current game, I focus on executing my strategy to test or refine it, and most of the time conversations during the game are distracting, so... I just ignore them.
I play because I want to play, if I want to chat I can do so after the game.

i think you underestimate the concentration it takes to play bw. i HATE talking to people when i'm laddering. Most of the time i'll say absolutely nothing. the odd gg or go depending on my mood but honestly, when i'm playing bw i don't have mental capacity to have a chat about your day

I think that's only your case. Chat takes away from the game, but not majorly.

To OP, I practiced around my level with the same partners during regular StarCraft and we all improved. We became average, what a B- gamer is now. It wasn't until I sucked up my pride and let gosus have their way with me that I learned valuable lessons and perfected the game at a much more rapid pace. That said, people surely need to play with those they're familiar with before they go into a big boy's league without proper awareness of the discouragement they're going to face when challenges by abrasive players.
SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

Pre-game chatter, especially once the game has started... I'm expecting a rush. Especially if they're random, won't tell what they spawned as, and are unnaturally chatty/friendly. In the lobby... dunno. Asking about my family seems really weird if I just bumped into them on ladder for the first time.

But when I could play, I was usually down to play a bunch of games with the same person, maybe practice against a certain build and chat about what went wrong etc. I was certainly not a 'go, go' person.

chatting pre-game isn't what you join a ladder game for, to be fair.
Chatting early game can be okay, but can also delay your timing a little bit, so if you're mannered, you don't chat ingame unless it's a friendly game with a friend.
By the end of the game it's okay to ask if that person wants to play more or not and you can talk then, but don't blame people for getting on starcraft in order to play, some people don't have that much time and they just want to play a couple of games in their free time.

Yeah, same. Usually when people talk to me, it always comes off as them being condescending or trash-talking, especially since some people simply have a difficult time with English. I hate playing my friends, unless they're way better than me and I'm okay with losing to them. I hate when they win and say something like "lol I played so bad that game." because I just want to take a hammer and smash their fingers and go "NOW YOU'LL KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO PLAY BAD WITH NO FINGERS."

But uh... yeah.

It's way more fun to watch obs games with friends while chatting, or play 3v3 bgh with friends and do crazy stuff.
