BeastyQT asking me to kill myself for 5-gating him.

If someone does that to me, I view it as them rubbing it in. Surely you can understand that.

I got into an RvR (that's random vs random) on Antiga Shipyard, we roll TvP. After the game:

I challenged him to a rematch, best race vs best race but he didn't respond.

I play Random from time to time on my offracing account and I get stuff like this a lot too. When you get RvR, do they leave half the time? They always seem to when I get it. The other day I got an RvR, and as soon as he scouted it was PvP he left the game. Then I immediately got matched with him again and he rolled Terran and I rolled Protoss and he proxy 2port banshee rushed me. I've also had RvR where they just auto-leave. I don't get it. Or they do dumb stuff, like an RvR where the guy didn't scout until after going forge first (I guess he assumed I was zerg?) and I was Terran so I just did gasless 1rax expand into 4rax marine pressure and killed his expansion since he walled off but made no cannons. It was odd.

The reason they leave in RvR is because they are playing Random to get an unfair advantage in the first place, if they are matched against another random player their unfair advantage disappears and they might actually have to put effort into winning the match so it's easier for them to just leave and queue up again rather than scout and play without blind coin flip cheese. This also explains why in RvR they might simply do something odd and incredibly coin-flippy like blindly going Forge First, these players are used to simply flipping coins for their wins in the first place so scouting isn't important to them it's just luck.

ZvZ on Tal, after both FEing and then going muta, I close out the game with roach hydra infestor vs his 45 mutas assorted banes, lings, and roaches:



Not many people gg on ladder, So after I return the gg:




I ask him about his MASS mutas and what if i had gone infestors, he misunderstands and calls me bad etc(not shown). Then I watch the replay(the first pic):




So confusing...

No, I can't really understand that. If you say "gg" and then leave, it's perfectly manner for the other player to send you back a "gg". If you quit the game without saying anything, then you're implying you don't want to talk with the other person, and if they send you a "gg" THEN you are justified in getting annoyed by it.

If we don't take this approach, how else are SC2 players supposed to interact? Is it only okay to strike up a conversation with your opponent if you are the losing player?

Exactly this. You shouldn't even be allowed to play random. There's nothing more frustrating than a random player who plays incredibly greedy with like a nexus first and you just have to use a super safe build because you don't know which race the guy is. I usually always 1 rax expand and obviously wall-in when I play against random because it's the safest build after all against all races, and then I get like owned because my opponent went nexus first and I scouted him last, so I'm already really far behind or I get tank rushed in TvT, because I build a wall-in, in case the random player is zerg and with a 1 rax expo there's no way you can get tanks out soon enough to stop him from tank rushing your wall-in.

It's risky metagame nonsense and they know exactly that they have an advantage and abuse it as hard as they can. I think when someone picks random it should show you the race he got at the beginning of the game. It's just really frustrating when you 1rax expo vs. a zerg, no way you can put pressure on him because you only have 1 rax and if he wants he can drone like a madman and take an early third and there's nothing you can do, just because you were forced to play safe...

edit: The option to play "random" shouldn't exist. If you want to play random you should just have to pick the races in order. 1st game terran, 2nd game protoss, 3rd game zerg, 4th game terran, 5th game protoss, and so on and so forth. There's your random and you actually have a fair game every single time. How about that?
