D+ is substantially harder than C- on Iccup.

It seems that the level of play for the D+ players is higher than that of C- players on Iccup.

There is a good amount of smurfs at D+ rank who are probably B rank at least while there are plenty of D and D- players who cheesed there way into C-.

Does anyone else feel the same?

Either way i am not taking you seriously.

Where does everyone get this feeling that D/C is filled with B smurfs?

Why does everyone seem to think that any person that's better than them at the same rank is a smurf?

I agree, D+ is always harder than C- for me. Two seasons ago, when I got b- for the first time, at one point I was 19-6 D+, having lost all 6 games at D+, and then hit C+ at 36-6. D+ is fucking hard, the noobs don't know what they're doing at all, so how am I sposed to know what they're doing? Guys at c- know what they're doing more than d+ guys, so they're easier to predict, and still have god-awful micro/macro.

I'm sure that D is substantially harder than D+. D rank is where all the smurfers play because that's the rank people get when they type "/clearstats YES". In D rank, you play players like TSL-GoOdy, TSL-ChOseN, and TSL-semih. Plus you get to play all those B Skilled Koreans that aren't B ranked because they play on ICCUP sparingly.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

at D i can find people with 200-300 apm and its clearly not spam from the way they control their units O_o

Personally I'm having more trouble at the D- level than even the C- level. I mean seriously, do the B players just come over to their D- friend's house and 'show them how it's done'? It's ridiculous how much harder D- is. I can get to D+ with 15-2 stats, but if I just see a D- it's like an autoboot. I mean wtf I lose half the time to D- players, who should just be learning the game. There's obviously something wrong here :/.

Statistics show that there are at least 3 times as many B level players at D than at B.

there's a lot more skill variance at D/D+ but to say its harder than C- is obviously a bit of a stretch

When I first started playing I thought everyone I lost to was a smurf. When I got good enough to make D+ and I saw how easy it was for me to go up through the D rank I realized that I had just been making excuses.

This, back when I first played someone went fact port against me and I thought he was hacking because I thought no one could get dropships that fast
