Bad Manners. We all know it when we see it. People raging off their rockers at others because their play isn't as good or they are just unsportsmanlike. Sure it's fun to watch people like IdrA get some raging in at the end of his play but nobody likes it when it happens to them. It is distinctly not fun when you pull off an awesome play and the player you just beat, rather than complimenting you on cunning strategy and epic micro, decides to throw a few swears your way and bring your mother sexuality into question.
Now I'm no hero, I don't expect to lessen how much BM comes out in SC2 but I do want to pose the question: What do you consider to be BM. Raging, swearing, and insults aside, what do you find to be insulting when you play. I have come up with some starting things that I find insulting when a player loses (and sometimes wins). If you want to add to the list, just post a reply. I hope we can learn from this about what other people find insulting and try to limit that in our play.
BM when they lose:
- Insults/Raging/Swearing
- Not leaving the game eg. floating buildings/making extrators or pylons when you have no army
- No GG
- Reporting you to Blizzard for no reason (I've had it happen before)
- Brushing aside your win eg. "I was playing crap" or "I'm masters on my NA"
- False GGing
BM when they win
- Manner actions eg Building Hatches in your main, setting up pylons all in your base.
- Brushing off their win "I was playing crap" or "I failed the entire game"
- Prolonging the game needlessly
- Offensive GGing (saying gg when you're pretty sure you've won, before your opponent gg's)
I was thinking of including - Continuing the game even after you've left, but you wouldn't know so I left it out.
