If someone would do this against me i would just leave the game. I wont waste my time just for a few points in the ladder, just get into the next and dont loose everything that can kill flying rax o.O! I wounder though what would happen if they get this situation in a tournement.

I think there are WAY too many people calling out imbalances online. Both on TL and in my actual games.

It doesn't matter WHAT race I play, if I win with it, it's imba. I've heard Terran imba, mutalisk imba, force field imba, probe imba, drone imba, SCV imba, flying buildings imba, extractor imba, nexus imba, psionic storm imba, ghost imba, marauder imba, the list goes on forever.

ICCUP had its fair share of those too, but I feel like it's far more common in the SCII beta. People just don't want to gg any more, they have to try to complain about something because they don't want to take responsibility for the loss.

Edit: Here's an example of an imba complaint: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=121360

It happens. I do run into lots of bm though.

Like saying GG and they say something like "nice try noob". I've had quite a few "u suck or something along those lines" pm's too.

The worst I've gotten is "!@#$ you Koreans go back to your country" because I was using a friend's account who's identifier looked very Korean (I'm not even Korean lol).

But all in all, I just ignore them

. They just raging cuz they lost.

I've played very few games so far and I have noticed a lot of BM players already. It generally seems to be the lower skill bracket I find.

For example:
I beat a terran with void rays who went for a drop in my base at the same time. I killed his CC and most his base and managed to save my nexus. Instead of GG'ing, the guy lifted all his buildings up and started floating them arround and built depots all over the map. As he also lifted his 2nd CC, so he wasn't revealed. That took a while to finish...

I've had people try and cheese me with cannons then when it failed, built pylons everywhere so I had to spend ages killing him.

I've even had someone me and calling me lame for whiping out a base full of probes and kiting and killing 8/9 zealots with 3 reapers. My partner had 2 stalkers before I even left my base, the guy had just gone 2gate with no cyber core, so it really was his fault.

i find it funny when people say, "ya i BM up until this line, but i don't cross this specific line that i made up and maybe no one else knows about."

if you "BM," you can't get mad that others do too, no matter how much or how little.

Oh come one guys, if want to talk about BM, try go to DOTA community. From there you will know what is really BM. I myself been through there, almost every single bloody game, poeple will just spam rudeness across the chat, both same team as well as opp. Reason been? very simple, because when something they don't like to happen happened, they always have someone to blame on it, and that person will never be themself. I am just so sick and tired of those.

people in platinum divisions don't seem to be as bm, probably because they're more experienced and most likely older than 12 as well.

anyways, this is not bm, you didn't win here, it looks like a tie

This is like the most conceited thread I've ever read. You do realize that since neither of you can kill each other, you are "BMing" too according to your definition right?

wtf.

I've had numerous games where people bm'd me, and i think its safe to say ive seen most of the forms of bm: the no gg, the offensive comments before leaving, the not leaving despite the fact that they lost, etc. etc.

But i guess thats because i was in bronze league =_=

Well yes and no. Have you played BW on battle.net? It's the same. Now add 40k WoW kids.

I've found it to be better than SC1.

While i do agree with you in principle that people are more BM then they should be in a beta, I'm going to disagree with you on this instance.

Sure he may have taunted you a bit with the PM, but overall you weren't in any better position to finish him off then he was to you. You didn't win, but neither did he, so its a tie. To post about his BM not leaving though puts you in the worse spot.

This makes me think that blizzard should add a "draw" option that both players have to agree to. For the rare occurences like these where there actually is a draw in sc2. Of course that still means the other player would have to agree and not sit there until you leave.

I'm a WC3 player. It's a custom to say "gg" in this game too. Maybe less important than it is in BW though.

I personnaly whisper to anyone I win against who do not say gg. I say "gg". Just to remind them that's how it's to be done.

Oh. Yeah. I'm sure that happens. Sorry if I'm generalizing or coming off as elitist. But if you look to communities like Halo and Counter-Strike, all I hear sometimes, which could possibly be a stereotype, is that they're SUPER bad mannered.

Uhm no, people are not more BM. He didn't lose, you didn't lose. This is a draw

I used to hate it when people left without saying gg, it felt very rude. Now I kinda like it, it usually means they're pissed off, that makes me smile. Also the reason I always gg.

When people cry imba I sometimes take the time to expain to them why they lost if it's an obvious mistake, especially since i play random and know how easy it is to lose with every race... often people are actually quite nice after the initial rage fades, and if they're not... again, it's funny to piss off assholes even more. But I'm always very nice and polite about it.

The one thing I hate incredibly much though is offensive ggs. People that expect you to leave the game when you're at a serious disadvantage - conceding is an option, not mandatory - as long as i consider I have a shot I find it very rude for people to expect me to concede - the game's purpose is to destroy all buildings, gg is just courtesy.

Also, OP is pretty bm for thinking he somehow deserves the win in a tie. To me the most mannered solution to ties would be for the higher ranked player to leave the game. That being said, I just leave when ties happen, points matter less than time.
