I can't believe so many people are bitching about noobs learning build orders and having to actually play seriously to win. If you don't want a challenge, don't play bw melee.

@ Topic
The Skill level has definitely increased, being a perma D+ noob myself, when I started I reached D+ very easily on 60% stats, and now i barely reach D+. (long idle times inbetween tho)
However I'd definitely say map understanding and which BO to use when has contributed to skill increase.

You know what'd make you feel better? Coming back to sMi

On a serious note. I don't think players are improving all too too much at those ranks in general. There is a slight increase every season I believe, but not to much be making you have such a hard time. At most I'd just say you're a bit rusty and need sometime to shake it off. You'll be fine.
if I come without a thing, then I come with all I need @tonightsend

I think I reached B in 2009 summer. Then I didn't play after that..

The thing is, I feel like I'm playing well, but every game, it feels like I'm playing vs a B opponent. I don't mind playing challenging games. I like it a lot. Couple of the reps I posted, I had a really challenging time. I was sweating, having JD's laser eyes, and totally serious as if I were writing a final exam...

Back then, I thought what differentiated C from a B player was about macro. Now, I don't know anymore..I guess I'm just venting out my frustration.

Yea, that's the difference between D and D+/C- now.....

The fact your computer works after losing that many games makes me salute you. After about 5 i would have started breaking shit.

And last season i was C and i can hardly beat d+/low C- players now. Its still fairly early int he season and ranks havent exactly sorted out yet
