Are there many salty players in this game?

Hi!

I just played my very first 1v1 ranked. I picked Sicilians, other dude went for Incas. I thought I would be quickly destroyed, but he tried to put towers near my base and then was really behind on economy, so I actually ended up winning.
He got salty, said a bunch of mean things in the chat and then hid villagers in all corners of the map.

I wanted to know if that's a frequent occurrence in ranked? Does it get better (or worse?) if your elo increases?
