Currently playing around 2k legend and holy crap… every other player I face is a bming player: roping, or just emote spamming.
I’m used to playing at a much higher level and people are way more civil there, but my god, does the average maturity of players go into the dumpster with rank?
That’s the salt zone. They’re actively trying very hard to break into top1000 but aren’t good enough to do so, so they keep bouncing up and down. This builds up frustration and pushes players into a perpetual state of gaming misanthropy that they need to express through insistent use of emotes.
That’s why I took the habit of muting everyone first thing when I played standard more competitively (now I am just not playing).
I mute everyone. It’s such a habit now that I even mute my friends with realizing haha
Most of the time when people are BMing you its because of something you said or did. People have a really hard time being introspective about their own conduct. I don’t interact with players during matches and mute everyone. Even when I forget to mute I rarely see BM because I don’t emote and I don’t respond to it. BM is almost always a 2 way street.
Shouldn’t bother you if you’re multitasking.
Why are you playing a game if you would rather be doing something else? What is that even?
My absolutely favorite is when they emote spam after they think you made a mistake but really you did something they don’t immediately understand. That’s when the inevitable…“Your opponent has left” occurs.
Game is over 10 years old, surely by now you don’t just stare at the screen impatiently while they rope you right? Roping is extremely common in this game. There’s nothing going on, look at your other screen.
I got plenty of mining to do in Runescape right now, I’ll thank my opponent for giving me time to get some clicks in on the other game.
I tend to play one game at a time. I don’t usually want or require that much stimulation. Also when I start getting roped I usually just concede. They want the win more than I do.
Burning down the rope every turn while you are playing something else is probably why you get BM’ed so often. Cant really complain about roping or BM when thats the case.
Imagine trying to justify people roping. For any reason.
It is just BM, its intentional, its not for a reason, and yes they do hope you concede when they do it. Much like someone looking for attention, you just ignore them and do your own thing.
BM is just something everyone who plays Blizzard titles does. They had to disable /spit in WoW because literally everyone used it for BM.
Not everyone BM’s. Don’t normalize childish behavior. There are lots of people who dont.
I dont BM anyone who ropes or eats the whole turn timer. I just leave. Don’t have time for that.
at low ranks
You got bitten but that Altair Thousand Alts character (whatever the main one is called) and caught the infection? 
You would do really well to drop that attitude — would be good for your own self, first and foremost.
Oh, come on. Apart from the aforementioned bit, do you really believe or suggest that intelligence, maturity, skill or whatnot correlates with something as trifling and inconsequential as the rank in HS? See also, for example, the beginning of this post and further links, I don’t feel the need to elaborate on all that again.
That’s more or less it, I guess, but I suppose I could add another bit. Don’t really wanna play a forum telepath or a typical " ‘you’ problem" forum moron, but let’s just consider a possibility: could it be that you’re upset about your current rank (not something I’d recommend, as explained above, but nevertheless) and thus perceive innocuous or mundane game actions as ‘BM’? ‘My greetings.’ — sure, that’s so offensive. 
Just something to think about.
That’s just a stellar suggestion.
If you’ve got issues with your spouse, just have fun with your other spouse.
Problems at work — just focus on your other job.
Troubles in life — enjoy your other life.
That’s it.
Yeah, yeah, the ‘What were you wearing?’ kind of speak…
That’d already be enough to disqualify or refute your post, but there’s more — even the factual part is lacking:
And how exactly have you determined that, based on what data? Especially given that:
Is it just a wild theory or guess that you pulled out of… somewhere and presented as a supposed truth, then?
By the way, I ‘BM’ a lot and don’t even try to deny it. 
In my view, that’s a highly subjective concept in the first place, as mentioned above, and I could hardly accept a definition that’s based only on someone’s fragile and irritable ego.
For example, you’re playing a deck I don’t like (or perhaps, more seriously, a deck that is bad at winning, but excels in stalling and annoying the opponent, e.g. all those leech DKs; UPD: whoops, my deja vu kind of feeling that I was repeating myself yet again was justified, of course), for example some Rogue, are you’re gonna say you’re not ‘BM’-ing me? You spam the same card 20 times per turn and think it’s not ‘BM’, but get upset if I say ‘Hello’ to it? You draw your entire deck and start dying to fatigue, only to have barely scratched my hero’s armour and have achieved nothing, and that’s not trolling, but you get upset if I say, ‘That’s incredible.’? I could go on. Or, more importantly, you concede with the purpose of griefing the opponent and denying his progress on a quest like ‘Deal 200 damage to the enemy hero’ (might be repeating myself yet again, but I don’t rightly remember or dunno of that topic has stayed on the forums; found something like this, but it’s not most directly related), but start crying if someone gets on with it, for example when there’s a ‘lethal’ on the board, instead of placating the big baby that you are and your hurt feelings? I say, away with your ridiculous notions! And I don’t mean to be too blunt, but I really don’t care what you think or feel in this case.
Thread is titled: The bming at low ranks is unreal
Being in any level of legend can not, in any world, be defined as “low ranks”…
Humble Bragging if Ive ever seen it.
It would be nice if the squelch remained in place until the player decides to turn it off rather than having it fall off by itself every single match.
Same experience, other ranks. In my experience this behavior starts to occur lower than 2000 in the standard mode (EU), higher than 2000 in the wild mode (EU).
This thread is actually a relatively good troll.
I got a chuckle about how 2,000 legend ranking is now low.
It’s not even up for a debate. It should be clear to everyone, but I guess awareness also requires a bit more IQ points than you have
No, he’s right, that’s just the way frustrated, burnt out people in 2k ranks usually are. If you were good enough to find out, you’d already know
This is funny, because I bet that even you have more accounts than me
Fun, but malicious attempt at manipulation (overgeneralization or something)
Some people are just faster in everything they do. Some people have ADHD. Some are both. Now, to us, it’s hard, if not impossible, to stare at the screen for more than 1 minute to play your turn in 2-3 seconds and then stare at the screen for more than 1 minute, and so on and so on with no end in sight, which the game literally is 50% of the time
That’s how it feels to be like we are. Ofc you’re gonna have to take up 1 or 2 additional things to do, otherwise you’re simply gonna explode out of frustrations and impatience.
But I guess some people are just too slow to understand.
(that’s a joke, btw, because the topic are players who play too slowly. Your issue is not being too slow, but having 0 empathy. You do NOT want to understand other people’s emotions because some of them would left you feeling clueless and alien if you could)
EDIT:
Why am I not surprised? Haha…maybe that’s why anyone with a modicum of empathy can pin you down by reading 2 of your posts (1 is not enough, everyone has a bad day or two). You reek of chronic frustration, m8, and yeah, BM-ing is what frustrated people do.
Hmm, close. I would say BMing is what spiteful people do. Frustrated people are the ones conceding early.
