Why does the TL community look down on BM so much? Hell I like to BM sometimes (especially when playing with friends) because it can be funny. It's a video game, do we really need to be polite?

Like last night I was at my friends house and we got owned. we GG'ed then typed "Has Left The Game" and then pressed pause (note: we are bronze league). The other team actually left. It was so funny.

Later we won a game and we started asking them stupid questions. Again it was very funny.

If we meet each other in real life and I punch you in the face because I find it funny. Would you like that?

Think about others for once in your life. Dumb child.


EDIT: Unless the other people also find it funny, you shouldn't bm. Ever.

I think when I destroy two little bitches who think that by being immature and wasting other people's time because its funny, then that is hiliarious.

You being a little doucher by trying out that typing bs and just generally being an ass, isn't.

Your fun comes at the cost of someone else's fun.
Always remember there's another human being at the other end.

Personally I treat other people well unless they give me a reason not to treat them well, and that holds up in online games as well.

Of course you can do whatever you wish and no one can stop you but I don't agree with it.

Any relevance to your post? You like to act like childern, was that it? Correct me if I'm wrong, you're in bronze, maybe you will improve your level when you improve your level of maturity. Skill and common decent behaviour go a long way.

What was your thought process when making this thread? "My friends and I are a bunch of douchebags let me go tell TL about it and see what they think."

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

What if a pro..owns a noob..but there's no ladder?

Hey, I laughed at what he did with his friends. That's funny.
BM is part of everygame. I don't think I've ever got on a game for the first time and was treated nicely. In time you earn peoples respect and become friends with them.
Wishing you well.

OK look at in this way. Take a pro sport like hockey for example. If one player does something cheap (Hit from behind, slash, ect..) The other team will fight him (such BM!!!! omg BM!!!!!!).

In starcraft if the other player is cheap and does a cheese I have the right to BM too, just like in hockey!

When it might be funny at some point it is just communication as any other, i suppose you dont walk on the street and swear at random people?

That was kind of a sarcastic BM response to his question I'd say.....

I personally don't care if ppl bm, and many times find it entertaining. After playing halo, were ppl are just horrible and my mom seems to be a favorite topic of discussion, nothing bothers me much anymore. Idra's BM is hilarious to me for example, last night he was playing huk, who had clearly lost the game but was fighting to the death. Idra types "GET OUT" I chuckled. It was funny, I was entertained and Huk was probably laughing too. Yea it was dick, but ppl should lighten up about things. I think many times ppl just dont have a sense of humor, and don't realize whats funny in life. I love it when I type GLHF when the games starts and get a response something like "Fuck you" I lol everytime and laughter is a good thing.

Love your enemies.. it pisses them off. Best way to counter BM is to be super friendly.

I don't really understand the motivation for your post. Did that behaviour actually make you feel good? If so, why did you feel that we would find it amusing? BM amongst friends is fine because you all know each other. But if you're playing strangers, have some decency at play with manner.

After reading your answers, I'm guessing it's because me and my friends dont take the game as seriously as most people on TL.

Go BM the cpu, seriously if that's all you need to have fun...
It's not just "a video game", it's a video game where you're only 50% part of, the other 50% is the human being you play against. Even worse in 2v2 where you're only 25%, and you pull your friend into doing something stupid to piss off 50% of the game, for your own little entertainment.
BM with someone in RL is technically the same thing, just because you're not mature enough to realize that if this wasn't on internet you would get punched in the face doesn't justify doing it at all.
Just because YOU(and only you) are having fun doesn't make it right.

The holier-than-thous won't get it. BM can be hilarious if well executed.

It's the bad BM that's not funny.

Nah really. The fact you guys are in bronze alone should have told you that Captain Obvious and Oblivious. Stop clogging up the forums with useless drivel.

What's with noobs these days....
You're just a bronze leaguer, at least have a higher rank to bm, that would be more justified at least.
People when seeing noobs bm'ing juz think you guys are stupid. Playing with friends is fine, not on ladder. You dont just walk to a stranger IRL and say "wazzup, loser?".
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?
