I understand that this is a gaming forum and not a scientific journal, but you may want to provide more data if you want to have the slightest credibility behind your idea.
As of now, it's just purely based on informal observations from yourself, and lacks any type of evidence.
You're also mixing up a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with the matter (in the "self assured" paragraph, you suddenly mention the fact that getting into lower leagues on purpose can lead to being banned... what does that have to do with your subject ?).
It might be interesting to do a study on the potential link between in game behavior and psychological profiles, but that is not what you are doing right now.
Edit : Oh, and I clearly doubt that it could really help people beyond the informative interest of the study. Because if you rely on such data instead of in game informations (scouting and stuff), you're just metagaming to an extreme that will probably make you a worse player.

Cool idea but it seems like this only applies to bronze players
|
lol, this reminds me of when my friends were in silver and they claimed that anytime an opponent told them 'glhf', they were guaranteed to be cheesing
|
When the game starts they will simply say "gl". This, at least in the lower tiered leagues such as gold/silver/bronze, will indicate that your opponent will try a type of play people commonly refer to as "cheese"
Being in the silver league, people that cheese me never say "gl". As a matter a fact, 90% of the time they don't answer at all. I've started to become highly suspicious of people that don't answer to "gl hf"...

I like this thread.
I'm the silent type! However, I'm a Zerg player. I think you need to change a lot of your definitions if the player is Zerg. I think most Zerg players are the silent type though - pissed off that 90% of their games are bullshit pulled on you one way or another. Mass voidrays (Im in High Diamond, no im not bronze), mass chargelot, cannon rushes, mass hellion. I feel every game is either me winning, or cheese.
I win most of my games, my record is very positive, and I'm not pissed off about a losing streak, although I'm probably just pissed off about losing some stupid game. It's not as bad losing 3 games in a row as it is to some stupid crap that shouldn't work but but but. I say "u2" but that's it.

I'm sorry but this is wrong. There is no way for you to be able to predict builds without knowing information about the players style before hand and trying to follow potential patterns based on what he types at the beginning is stupid. But it is true, have you ever played against someone who says "Fucking hate "XvX"? And then follow suite to completely demolish them? I think though that there is 1 more type of person you missed. The bad mannered  These are the people who join games and continuesly do BM things at the start... Generally they do cheesy things or at least all-ins. Examples would be like saying someone is bad, predicting their builds, telling them what you do etc etc.
No, its wrong. Someone telling me they hate the current matchup they are playing can have a variety of implications which makes any sort of analysis, given the lack of information I would have about the opposing player, useless.

sorry but what?
i switch between saying gg hf, gl hf, hf, u2, nothing, good luck little zerg, to anything i feel like.
there is no evidence that what players say at the start of the game is related to how they play, so i think this thread should be closed.

This has nothing to do with psychoanalysis. OP is trying to use something extremely irrelevant (how people write in chat during games) to predict players behavior, which is never going to work. I generally only write GL at the start of a game and nothing else, am I a self-assured player or a silent player? Self-assured players apparently cheese, which I never do, so I guess I'm silent? That somehow means I'm on a losing streak and will be easy to beat, which isn't true at all since I'm high platinum and I win the majority of my games.
No basis for anything in this topic, just random drivel.

don't use words like psychoanalysis if you can't spell them correctly. it makes everything else you say that much harder to believe.
|
Oh boy, you had me at Silent
|
OP, you give a lot of reasons to "take a break" from playing: Everytime I get angry I'm supposed to stop. Everytime I go on a win-streak I'm supposed to stop. You need to shrug off your feelings and play the game. You need to quit spending time on this psychoanalysis BS and play the game.
This explains why you're in silver. Analyzing chat behavior is doing nothing for your improvement.

ROFL what kind of an OP is this?? what is this a guide to? i'm so damn confused
|
Funny how your minimum values add up to 125%.. I bet you made up these statistics.

I love how you spell "retarded" wrong.

Yay! I'm a standard player! I'm the one who's playing with is enjoyable!

There's a reason why modern scientists don't use Psychoanalysis anymore: It's ineffective.
Please close this
