The only thing that can be inferred from this is that you get off on sucking yourself off to how well you played last game and enjoy rubbing it in his face. Just because you can chat with someone because the game allows you to doesn't mean it is the right thing to do. Pretty much this. Its an assholish move to talk to your opponent after you win a match. An exception to this would be if you two were talking friendly during the game, but that doesn't happen most of the time. I'd take your message saying it was lucky as ironic 100% of the times and mute you right after. | ||

Depending on how you do it, I'd say it's perfectly acceptable. People should just get less frustrated over the game, and if the opponent can offer you advice, why not take it? The possibilities are endless, as long as you don't initiate the conversation with your opponent by belittling him and saying that he's terrible, and such. | ||

You can't decide for people how frustrated they should feel after a match. Also, despite you having helpful advice or not to give, most people don't want to hear people of similar skill telling them how to play. Its even more annoying if you just lost against them. I stopped playing long ago, but before I did, I'd regularly mute people before quitting the match if I felt BM was coming after the match. | ||

I'd like to talk about interesting games regardless of who won but I've had enough death threats and such to block all communication. Its funny because when people claim this, they usually get pretty pissed off after a loss and those "interesting games" tend to be wins. inb4 "no not me ofc not I truly enjoy all aspects of winning and losing equally". | ||

I usually get pretty heated after a loss, depending on the game and the reason I lost. But I mostly chat positively if someone writes to me and isn't obviously BM. If I really got upset from the game and the person that defeated me wants to do small-talk he can do it elsewhere, however if he wants to talk about strategy get/give advice in earnest and is nice about it I'm all for that. I prefer that to be clear from the start though, just fire away your question. If someone would message me in game "wow I got lucky that game, seems like a strong build, how often do you win zvp with that strat?" I would have no problem talking with that person about it. Would probably enjoy it too. I don't buy this whole "chatting is taboo" thing, SC2 is trying to become more soicable, sadly we are stuck in the past and people are used to play isolated. This is lotv not wol or hots, get with the times or get "blocking" just like TS wrote. You don't need to telegraph that you want to chat with strangers, just block and just chat with friends. smal-talk in the various chatrooms that exists, but if you want to talk to your opponent after a won game, you should start with "hey may I ask you a question?" This gives the other guy an option to decline. Just like in real life you wouldnt just ask someone a question without approaching them and ask if they have they are willing to help you out. Edit: Honestly what question will you not be able to find the answer on your own to by watching the replay? | ||

Completely agree, seems like some people need to grow a thicker skin and get a better understanding of what real sportsmanship is. | ||
