At bronze anything goes man, lol. Nothing to lose, I suppose.

Isn't it a good thing if someone quits for no reason? :O Free ladder points

Since it's bronze league, losing a few probes might not be significant however it's bronze and the players can't make the best decision either, so they might think they lost. They could be having a bad day/are annoyed by your attack/on a losing streak or w/e reason they don't feel to play it out.
I for example hate chess games (as I play terran) and if my games go over 40min I just run in sometime and try my luck if it fails (mostly) I leave the game, no interest in that particular game anymore.
Also I agree with what a lot of people said, people play for fun or to learn, trying your best to get back into the game is fun when it succeeds however, it mostly doesn't, it also doesn't teach you anything, unless you want to learn how to come back :-).

When I was in bronze I was just so bad and got overwhelmed so easily, I also couldnt remake my army fast and i just got so annoyed, overwhelmed, and just decided "Ill quit and try again" now I dont give up nearly as easily. though even when I did get over not quitting after a attack failed I was in silver but I just couldnt handle long games so I would quit if the game went long enough that I would NEED a third. Now I have no problem what so ever and got to 3100 point diamond, I think they might just have the same problem I did

Wait are you bronze or good as you say? In any case, people learning to play the game don't have a good sense of what they can come back from. They might not even know that workers can attack and what not. And people might quit once you start being an asshole. They could be little kids for all you know.

I don't recall saying I was good. All I said is I wouldn't quit. I'm pretty much a gold player more than likely if you take my terrible zvz out of it. I play a few times a week...night classes regular 8-5pm job...etc...if I played 2-4 hours a night I'm sure I would improve...

Making one statement doesn't mean your an asshole. If it does then take your emo *** home and and put your ear muffs on.

I play Zerg and I came across a Terran who had the exact same attitude as you and you know what he did? He lifted his last remaining 4 buildings and moved them to the corners of the map dragging the game out longer and forcing me to have to go air. This mindset and playstyle is not cool and you're not impressing anyone.

There's a reason these people are in bronze league. If you want to face against decent competition, where people don't just up and leave the game when an attack fails or the game goes beyond 15 minutes, I recommend improving and getting promoted to a higher league, where you're more likely to face people that actually try to play competitively.


But if you get too good, you might run into Idra, then you're back to square one.

The current ladder really encourages spamming games, so if you get behind early on, sometimes it's better to just cut your losses and head on to the next game.

People would rather play another game with a shot at winning as opposed to an uphill game that would be very stressful and difficult to win. It's not a tournament, games really don't matter. Basically you should be thankful that people aren't trying to prolong games that are over and accept that people will do what they want.

i didn't play BW but i assume it didn't have as good of a match maker... in sc2 you are always playing the absolute bottom of the barrel players. why would you compare them to the people you played in BW?

if you want to play people who don't leave, try to make it to at least silver...

So true. My buddy is in bronze and he sent me a replay the other day. The build order the opponent did:

7 Gas
7 Supply
8 Engineering Bay
8 Hi-Sec Auto Tracking
8 Barracks
8 Bunker (+4 marines)
12 Lose the game

On topic though, people leave because they know when they are beat. It's actually rather impolite to drag games out like you say you do. Have respect for other people's (and your own!) time, and gg. Losing 6/7 workers in a run-by is a big freaking deal if it's early game, I don't blame anyone for that gg.
I don't Micro, I FEMTO. That's 9 orders of magnitude more extreme.

Actually there is a lot of truth in people in bronze leaving for no apparent reason after their first attack fails to kill you even if their attack was even trade in material and not all-in. Fortunately it gets better pretty fast higher in the ladder.
And there are also some zergs that only 6 pool, every game, and quit immediately if they see a wallin or their attack does not kill you in 2 minutes One of my friends actually all-inned everyone in placement matches and ended up in platinum, when that stopped working he tried out broodlord rush and when that did not really work, quit 1v1s

match maker.... lol. Nah people in the Abyss were much more well mannered, 10 years and people had everything memorized, even in D - C the builds were so optimized that it was basically chess openings. There was no such thing as bottom of the barrel players even the d- players could own on bnet. In SC2 we have a mix of WC and other RTS gamers playing, some unfamiliar with the concepts. But on the Abyss if you lost, you gg'd and moved on to the next game. If you were one of those people who stay in the game, and make your opponent kill your very last building... then you wouldn't get a game after that..

Don't read too much into it, you have to remember that even our great SC community is still just a portion of Humanity, and if you'll remember from the literally billions of examples through history and current... Humanity is pretty goddamn stupid in many ways.. It only makes sense that there would be some in SC2..

Don't let it get you down though! There are great people out there, and even if you only meet 1 in 10, that 1 is sometimes worth the 9 worthless morons you have to deal with, although it can get depressing to see how many depressingly stupid people are in the world, I find it's better to try and stay positive and avoid getting too jaded, even if it's only for your own sanity.

GL mate, and keep at it! Don't let others ruin your hobby for you!

Even by the top of bronze, players start doing mostly sensible things. The difference between high bronze and low diamond is really just mechanics, for the most part.

often when ppl do all in builds they just leave when it fails, but bronze people will leave or stay sometimes without having any knowledge of whats going on at all

Why would you drag on a game that you know you lost? Like everyone else has mentioned you're just wasting time, just gg, leave so both of us can click find match and play another game.

Personally, I play to improve, and I play to learn, if I already beat you, thats as much learning I'm going to get out of the game, and same for the person I just beat, theres no sense in making me find every last building you have and killing it, I gain nothing, you gain nothing.

When you lose, gg, and leave for the benefit of both persons.

Bronze people fail to make any more than 20 probes and think that that's all they can work with. Plus, in that league, people only practice executing their cheeses and if shit hits the fan, they don't know how to transition out of it.
