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
Just ignore them. They're worthless pieces of trash who need to talk shit to others to validate their own existence. If they have you on ignore whilst talking shit they're obviously cowards.
You have the ignore button too. I suggest you use it.
I didn't notice this at all... happens quite rarely to me. But I'd say that there's like more of that kind of rage in Plat/Dia league than in any other.
Because they feel like it. Bad sample size. Ignore it and move on.
There's really nothing deeper to it than that. If you want to waste some time on a saturday you can draw up a nice freudian explanation for why they're lashing out, but there's not really anything to it beyond they feel like it.
I've seen it a lot. Can't say I haven't done the same. Usually only against all'inners who achieve nothing but getting ladder points slightly faster but never improving as a player and..oh god, it's starting again, RUN , RUN WHILE YOU CAN.
Some people take losses wseriously, blaming themselves for their bad performances. However, some others blame the opponents for being 'out of their league'. Thus the flames. I like them flames :D
People are immature assholes who think it's fun to tease people for losing against them. Just ignore them, there are too many trolls in this world for things to be taken seriously in these kind of situation. I guess what you really should be asking yourself is: "Am I actually being offended by this?". If yes... well then you should stop doing that since there's no point. If no... well then stop worrying about this and keep doing what you're doing.
Edit: The best thing is probably to mirror the damage, everything they're throwing at you will only affect themselves negatively if you can laugh their so-called "insults" off as a joke.
"i won some games and they got mad. why did they get mad? PS i won some games" -OP
people get mad when they lose. Starcraft takes a lot more work and understanding to be good at than most games, so the rage that happens when you've failed to understand enough or be good enough is more severe than easier games (read: any FPS or MOBA game or any other RTS game made in the last 3 years)
I will admit that I've sort-of done this myself maybe 2 or 3 times when my opponents have been really bm upon their leaving, but even then I'm not being a 12 year old, but rather try to be a little more constructively critical... but when the immature people lose, they just take that as insults as well. Some guys are just hard to talk to...

didn't read the op carefully enough did you?
@op tbh, it must be your luck op, been playing since release and it rarely happens, the ones that rage at you when they lose though, they're still rampant on sc2
I've rarely flame, and I don't ever after winning, but if I really had to flame after winning, it would probably be because of Roach spam, the bane of Protoss.
On a serious note, since you're just a 'name' in the other side of Bnet, they think that they are able to bash you for nothing to increase their small egos. Because the bigger internet ego you try to get (by treating miserably other people), the smaller the real life ego. They are usually young people with low self-esteem (some are just douches) that the only way they can feel a little better about themselves is in the internet, where they can avoid the consequences of being jerks.
edit- I feel sad about those kind of people but I always have hope that once they mature enough they figure out that they were indeed causing the opposite reaction they intended.
Advice: don't answer any provocations from those people. Ignore them and hit the "Find Match" button.

Flaming the opponent has a long history in online games. That isn't something new. It's funny and if you can't handle it, you should maybe man the f*ck up. :-) And honestly, the SC2 community ist EXTREMLY mannered compared to other games and even SC1 back in the days, just because of the battle.net 2.0 and the fear that your account could be banned. You may call it immature, but well....you are playing a GAME. So what do you expect?

Read the effing OP ... guys like you are worse than ppl who flame even if they won. @OP, ever played a MOBA? there it is pretty common to herpderp around when you won. Guess some people need it to prove that they finally did something right
Just to be clear. You mean: you lose and still get flamed?
I think , there are a lot of different possible reasons:
- you tried to cheese him (at least in his eyes) and he feels disrespected. - you tried to use a 'stupid' strategy (at least in his eyes), but he still struggles a lot before winning. - you played very unexpected (out of the box), so your opponent has to use his brain while playing <- happens to me a lot - they just think that your race is imbalanced and basicly want to express, that they would've won even harder without this imbalance.
Win is win. Lose is lose. Be nice to people. Don't blame the game, your opponent, the balance etc.. Blame yourself.
If you lose, you're responsible. If you win, you're responsible.

This has got to be the dumbest logic, imagine the starcraft 2 scene if everyone bad mannered was removed.

I'd much rather find out how my opponent found a flaw in my play rather than express my feelings about his mother, if he goes apeshit on the other hand i deem it as an even more satisfying victory
I can give you a good reason. If a guy tries some shit cheese vs me and fails miserably, then refuses to leave and desperately tries to contniue playing 1 base vs 3 just to gg 5 mins later i never forget to thank him for that

yea not true. as someone who regularly flames during and after random team games at both opponents and team mates, i can tell you the whole reporting feature is broken. i've probably been reported upwards of 500 times and i've only ever gotten one warning. and that was for loading the chat with some really vile shit.
as to why? it gets a rise out of people. no fun if everyone is "serious mode". usually it's just trolling but there's always THAT ONE GUY that just has a stick up his ass and starts getting angry and shit. so the flaming.
To be honest, I hate it when the opponent is lagging like hell. Even though if I won the game I tell the laggers they should fix their connection before harassing other people with a bad atmosphere of the game..
if someone rages against me after i win or lose, i just calmly watch the replay afterwards and msg them why I think they fucked up or I got lucky or something. they cant argue with logic, and if they do you know they are idiots anyway.
Put on so that you can only receive private messages from friends. In-game you can still GL HF and such, but private whispers will never come from random people.
I've had smack coming at me from various protoss where I exploit their lacking scouting, and I roach bust them. And also from terrans who get banelingbusted or get outmicroed by Mutalisks. It seems that the aggression is more prone to happen cross-race than mirror matchups.
And seriously, writing "<3" is the best thing ever. Everybody needs love.
@TheDraken Well, if you are mean to me in game I will report you which will also auto ignore you. May be one day you will get punished. And I doubt 500 people reported you. If so you would be banned and not just warned. The problem most people do not report because they like you don't think it will help.
It's chemicals. Like when you see someone make a touchdown they WILL react. They will taunt. If they hadn't changed the NFL celebration rules they would love to either brag or ridicule their opponents. It's our (mens) nature to show off when we're better. That's how the women would easier see who were better to 'mate' with.

my opinion
However, for someone like me (suffering from depression) I don't really care about those guys. And sometimes their flaming can actually be somewhat accurate, which will hurt alot more than it should.
Before suffering from depression I loved flaming. Sure, I'll admit I do a bit myself, but mostly taking it. I loved to see how people could get all pumped up and having to let out their steam with w/e is on their mind right now. 'Cuz mostly it would be "IMBA IMBA" or "FAGGOT", which I could deal with easilly. But atm when people say stuff like "Can't believe I'm losing to YOU! You handled X soooo poorly, noobnoob" I will actually think about it and often times they're right, which (when it's worst) can actually force me away from my computer in a super bad mood :'/. Please do not flame - you don't know the state of your opponent or w/e dmg you cause.

I am pretty sure on a consistent basis we all handle xyz pretty poorly. Flaming is not going to stop, I think you should just not take it personal, and keep grinding that ladder.
There's lots of reasons to be mad at someone even though you win.
I play zerg and 15 hatch every time vs terran. I can't tell you how many terrans have cried about some sort of imbalance after their proxy 2rax bunker rush is barely held off by me. I think it's fair to say that at my level (gold league) this sort of bunker rush is much harder to hold off than to execute.
So to make a long story short, if some terran cries about how his cheese didn't work... you better believe I'm gonna flame him.
And the 10293431th "mommy-the-other-kids-are-mean-to-me-on-ladder" thread has been created, to discover the psychological and sociological applications of bad manners on the internet duh, flame back if u feel like, ignore it if u dont, laugh at it, whatever, just stop making these threads, seriously
playing starcarft 2 at the steroid testing lab during your break, rage-punched a bunch of syringes then subsequently started roid-raging in chat. that's one reason.
a more common one is that it's just an internet game.

Hahaha, you'd think after a while, I'd move the syringes out of rage-punching range.
Well if I get a "you suck" or any similar BM when I lost I just agree, that really confuses them. It's not that I really care about being good or not, the biggest reason for me to strive for masters is being able to track my stats.
Half related to this is that the people who have BM:ed me the last couple of days (playing teamgames) are usually the worst players with no apparent insight in the game at all. Being told that my strat sucks by a high master is an advice, from a low plat player it's amusing BM.
Same with the BW and CoH. YOU GUYS JUST DONT GET IT!
If they flame you when you lose, they did this to feel they are "better", "smarter" - to show you how infinitely inferior you are. If they flame you when you win, they did this becouse you prove them they are not that smart as they pretend to be
I've done it, the player decided to fly his buildings away and decided to not quit. Not flaming really, just taunts, and stuff like "why do you want to do this loser" etc. In fact that is the only time I flame,when I lose, I just want to get the hell out and watch teh replay and move on to the next game.
If you do a lot of all-ins especially as Terran its funny but people are as likely (more likely?) to flame you when they hold it off as when they die to it. Its very strange to me. However, I very rarely get flamed by a winner of a "normal" game. Also:
short games=lots of rage (because of aforementioned allins that people are illogically prejudiced against) medium games=little rage very long games=TONS of rage but only on loss (because you had so much invested in the game it REALLY sucks to lose it, this is the only time I feel even a little raged)

It's pretty simple. While I can't read the minds of every player it's safe to assume they're just mad that they lost. Everyone handles a loss in their own way, flaming is a way to vent that frustration I guess. This is what seperates champions from the mediocre.
i had a guy marine scv me. it pissed me off. i got something along the lines of l2p stupid noob scrub Nigger or something.
i challenged him to a rematch he refused. 3 games later i end up with the same dude. so naturally i rape his cheesy bullshit, and he flames again about how i should l2p and stop roach rushing.
moral of the story? people who rage will flame you whether you win or lose because it makes them feel better about how bad they are. if it gets to you, you shouldn't be playing online games. stop being so Damn sensitive. if i guy you will never see makes you feel bad about losing a game, first go hug a puppy then uninstall.
really this doesn't even deserve discussion. its not achieving anything except killing your ego and boosting theirs.

for the 3rd time Im this thread (even though this thread is pointless anyway) its about people flaming you after they beat you. people really should read before they post
Because they want to express their love. Let them know how much you love them back. Ask for their address and once they give it to you, send them a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates shaped in a heart. Invite them on dinner to a French resturant and get to know each other. Once you get to know each other, you can move onto the next step and try to kiss. If he is not ready, he is not ready and you should wait until the second, third and even fourth date until you try to kiss. After seeing each other a few more times, maybe you guys can move onto the next level and try to make some true love. I advise that you should always make sure that your partner is fine with having sex, as are you. Once then, we can then decide which house we would like to move in and get married. Ask him if he would like to move in with you. If not, ask the vice versa. If he says no to both, then you will just have to move on and see other fish in the sea, as this one is still making it's journey through the romantic life. If he says yes to one of them, then congratulations. You are in love forever and you can get married. I recommend getting a wedding in June, since June is the symbol of love and affection. This just adds depth and meaning to the date you are married. Once you are married then you must split the bills and maybe even have kids. I advise against getting a dog until you have kids, as taking care of a dog will be hard since you will both be at work, maintaining different incomes. Once you are all set with kids, then get them a nice college fund so they can meet some more BM people on starcraft and get married to THEM! I hope this post helped you.
3/5 is really bad, generally i have 2 nice and 1 flamer persons out of 10. The rest barely says more then glhf. It seems a few think that glhf somehow triggers flamers, especially the gg at the end seems to taunt those people. Like many mentioned they never think it was a good game, either they crushed you or you did some cheese that doesn't count. Just move on and stay true to your standards.
problem with "ignore them too" is the 1 message you get always after the game without chance to block and normaly i dont thought they do cause i understand when they LOSE but ... they WON and i said gg ...
things like this removes the fun to play this game alot ... i really sometimes think i have to change my gamestyle just to not get flamed
and also there is no chance to say anything for me since they only flames AFTER game and ignore me instant before i said more then "gg wp" thats frustrates
Well this has never happened to me but I imagine you should just ignore it and move on... I think you have just met a bad group of people :S however you should probably wait a min before you hit that button because it may be awkward to play them again :D
I think it's the reverse of being a sore loser... I would never BM when I lose, because it's usually my fault somehow.
However when I beat someone who was just a cheesy ass player, he's getting a BM. Because he just wasted my time, and will probably go on to waste other people's time.

I do that too sometimes. Got cannon rushed yesterday, and the guy kept typig EZ EZ EZ EZ
I won the game in the end and then I typed back EZ PZ DONT CHEESE ME
I don't know why people do it, especially after they won... All I know is that I welcome a rematch anytime, and usually I destroy the person if we do rematch, so then I just humbly offensively GG.

That's not really the same thing. Your opponent was taunting you while the person you quoted says he bm's anyone that is "just a cheesy ass player" meaning anyone that doesn't play according to his standards of "proper game play" (paraphrasing).

And then OP your answer should be NO! So in other words stop wasting time on them and just ignore them ingame if they keep chatting or ignore afterwards if they like to talk shit afterwards.
just use ignore dude, the internet would be a troll free place if people had the willpower to keep their mouths shut and not respond to these retards.
u cant be flamed or trolled if u dont reply, imagine trying to rage at somewhere who doesnt respond? it doesnt work, they feed off your response and that compels them to continue.
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.

Understandable... But I usually leave when I know my time is up. In tournaments I try to stay and figure something out.
blizzard should make it so that if you ignore a player, you also can't send messages to that player. It's retarded that you can hide behind your block list and still talk shit to other person.
Sometimes people feel pumped up after a win and do stupid things like message you to rub it in your face. A rule that I follow is if they have you on ignore then do the same to them and everything is equal. They could just be super psyched about winning and it boils over or they are a-holes.
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.

I like to shit on people I don't respect, and I approve of this.
Ah though its not because I feel inferior after I win. its because i feel like I am 10 times better, and he isn't supposed to be equal to me in terms of ladder rankings, so obv. he need to be taught ^^. Though I wouldn't do that to good mannered people....

I won't go to the extent of floating buildings to the corners when someone says an offensive gg me but it definately makes me continue to fight and try to win by any means necessary which obviously draws out the game. I just want that feeling of someone offensively saying gg then me coming from behind to crush them

Lol funny post
The guy you quote was all pissed off and calling them not worthy for just a few sentences on a computer game.
Yeah i'll sometimes type 'ez' after winning a match where the opponent cheeses. If hes not gonna bother to put in the effort to actually do any thinking himself, rather than simply carrying out a set of memorized actions, then I'm damn well gonna let him know his lazy tricks were easy to deal with. I never message anyone after losing to them though, unless its to ask for tips.
People flame because they get mad and unreasonable. Perfect example what you shouldn't do after losing a computer game... I just move on and before anger comes to my mind the next game has already started.

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.
