I think i just figured out why some players in BGB always Type so much

I guess its called the “Dunning-Kruger effect”

“People who are less skilled can sometimes appear more obnoxious because of a psychological phenomenon called the Dunning-Kruger effect, where individuals lacking expertise in a particular area often overestimate their abilities and confidence, leading them to express strong opinions or criticisms despite not having the necessary knowledge to do so effectively; essentially, they don’t realize they are wrong because they lack the skills to accurately assess their own performance.”

  • Lack of self-awareness
  • Overconfidence
  • Resistance to feedback

Often times when there are certain individuals who type ALOT in game and raging at others (we all know who the usual suspects are) I think this may be a strategy to distract from the real issue that is going on in that lobby, the win-trading and queue-syncing.

overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer

(just like unholy DKs rn)

Until you do everything the best and then the rest of the team needs to catch up.

I enjoy the salty meltdowns, they’re pretty entertaining

This is why I like blitz bg. People tend to shrug off silly comments in blitz bg chat, unlike in regular bg, because they are busy with trying to win. And if they actually learn something from your comment, they’re often genuinely grateful and will even pm to praise you after the game.

At this point, I think everyone knows that at least half the WoW PvP community suffers from the Dunning-Krueger effect. You just got to ignore those people, or laugh at them. Laugh privately though… Don’t want to get reported for “toxic behavior”.

I would argue that its larger than half.

this is so exhausting to deal with.

Sometimes its troll bait to get you to speak so they can mass report you… Alotta Shuffle PREMADE matches going on now that its low player participation. Believe it or not the mass reporting thing is real.

Typing useless stuff is ignorable. I always appreciate people who make useful callouts. OP can go in useless stuff category.

You are the epitome of everything wrong with bg blitz. It’s always people like these that make these forum posts and the fact that yz is supporting you just shows how embarrassing this is. There is not a worse healer in the bg blitz bracket than you and after all your hundreds of games you still haven’t learned the very basics but blizzard puts you above 1500 for some reason. The people typing are just trying to teach you.
