Ask yourself if it is really important to you and worth your time to discuss the psychology of a few people you met on the ladder.

Some people just like being rude. I've had a couple of recent games where I've gotten "leave fucking noob" or an offensive gg as I'm about to lose. It's not like I stay unreasonably long, try to hide buildings or anything. My childish response to this is to draw out the game as long as possible.

To give a proper answer to the question.

I see mainly two reasons for this: They suffer from inferiority complexes or narcissism; it can be either or both, but in majority of cases inferiority complex is an essential part of the reason.

The person acts that way based on which reason it is.

A person with inferiority complexes has got a need to lessen you, as to feel better about himself, despite winning he can still have the feeling of being inferior, which shows itself clearly in the case that the majority of people who BM you after they win will have used a strategy that is commonly thought of as particularly skilless or at the very least less skillful, like cannon rushing or 7 rax all ining.

In which case they very well can be worse than you despite winning, but whetever they realisticly won despite being better or worse is irrelevant, as it only matters what they see. And even if they played an incredible game and by all means was the better player, they could still feel inferior, and so got a need they don't manage to control to insult and belittle you so they can feel less like "worthless shit" so to speak.


A person suffering narcissism however insults you for the opposite reason, he insults you because he believes everyone else is worthless and he needs people to recognize that he is superior and thus will do what he can to explain to you how your life is shit and his is the best.

In the case of having both, the person believes himself to be superior, but sub-conciously still in his own eyes disappoint to what he "should" perform. Which can very well be the case in a close game, and thus since the game itself didn't "properly prove" how "much better" he is, he needs to achieve that feeling by belittling you in an attempt to make you realize his superiority.

So for short, inferiority complex forces afflicted people to belittle you since they feel worthless and needs to feel less worthless (this can all be sub-conciously).

People suffering narcissism need to belittle you to reassure themselves you know how worthless you are (or rather how worthless they believe you are), and in turn feel even more superior.
