Anyone have an idea why players have to flame after they won a game ?
Like you start a game with a nice gl hf and then have a really close game (few buildings for both etc) sometimes even mirror so it cant be the "race imba" thing
so after you lose you write GG WP and leaves the game and then immediatelly there comes a "fuck you noob bastard, you suck hardcore" and instant he is ignoring your msg so you cant respond.
since i am back from inactivity that happened in 3/5 games and it scares me that this is now a "normal" thing
any ideas why guys do such things ?
Interesting post. I have accounts on both NA and EU and have experienced this almost exclusively on EU. EU also has tended to be a lot more all-in/cheesy in the past 6-8 months, for whatever reason (used to be the other way around in my experience). Maybe it's because i play more seriously/standard on NA and am high-ish masters whereas I try new builds on my EU account and have a lower MMR. Not sure.
Nevertheless, I've gotten quite a bit of flaming after I've lost, and after straight up standard games. Doesn't make any sense, people are just nerdy assholes. There's no reason to ever message someone if you won the game. There are reasons to be upset if you lost to something silly or extremely cheesy--and I can understand why people might want to message in this case but, still, messaging people after games in general is for idiots. It underscores a lack of self control and poor self confidence.
