In the past two days I've went from 1350 points (top 10 according to SC2Ranks.com) to 1075 points. Yes, there's some matches that were probably my fault, but seriously.. who the hell let so many newbs into diamond? I get partners that go 2 assimilators before cybernetics core, go 2 barracks and try and pump the whole match from them only, or go mutalisks against double terrans.   | ||

I'll agree that matching arranged and random teams together is shit, but whoever goes into random team games thinking that strong organization, teamwork, and quality players are all going to coexist is foolish. If it bothers you this badly, just don't play random teams? D= | ||

I can understand how this sucks for you, but I guess I would really look for good partners. Maybe u simply try to message the 10-20 other top 10 guys? | ||

If you really want to 2v2 then grab a friend, or partner with someone you had good chemistry with while playing. I was in the same boat when I did random 2v2s in my placement matches during beta. | ||

you can't take RT seriously and not expect to get frustrated beyond belief | ||

Ya I'm staying away from 4v4 random now. Edit: I was #1 4v4 random for almost a month before the change. Now to have any chance at top 10 you have to be going in with 3 people and hope your 4th isn't a dumbass. | ||

I play 3v3 with 2 friends for fun(pretty top diamond for 3v3 lol), and when we que we sometimes get gold players mixed with 1 RT diamond. edit: i'd like to note that before the change in that patch to matchmaking, we would have 45 minute ques and not play anyone.... so i don't know what is worse. | ||

Yeah, team games aren't meant to be taken seriously without a partner. Or maybe they are, but I run into the same situation as you, so I just try to stick to 3v3 or shit that won't piss me off when I lose. | ||

Just kidding! RTing is no way to play RTS games unless you want to break your computer, get/make friends to play with for team games with or stick to 1v1. Hell I still play with my BGH buddies from 10 years ago now in SC2. They are the reason why I actually play the game so much. | ||

If it bothers you this badly, just don't play random teams? D= The point (obviously) is that you will be matched against another random team with the same handicap, and after many games your ability to overcome this will separate you from other random team players, that's part of the fun. Except in SC2 there is no fun in Random Team, it's you and 3 people that range from bronze league to top diamond vs an arranged team that usually has a 90% winrate and is going to kill you off in a manner where your skill means nothing, and telling your allies what to do or what your opponent is doing is not enough. | ||

I always play with friends in team games. The only minor exception to this would maybe be my 4v4 Randoms, Which I usually end up partying with a friend, so I'm in with him and 2 pubby allies... Makes it much more bearable. | ||

Rewind a month ago and if you went into 4v4 random your allies would generally be around your level and its nice because you get to meet people to play with that are decent. I made a few friends playing 4v4 random because we'd see each other every game because there's only a few people in our skill range. With the matchmaking "fix" its turned to utter shit but hey, you get to play a shitty game much faster now. | ||

I've assembled a pro tip guide using your logic for SC2 No Chat Channels Pro Tip: Use IRC No LAN Pro Tip: Get reliable internet or don't go to LAN parties Terran possibly Overpowered? Pro Tip: Pick Terran My custom game can't be seen or played, it's not on popular list Pro Tip: Don't make maps Bnet is Down? Pro Tip: Don't play Starcraft 2 I want to play fairly matched Random Team games when friends aren't on or I don't feel like playing with my friends: Pro Tip: Don't play Random Team games | ||

Anyway random usually sucks. If my friend and I play 3v3 with a random, the 3rd guy always sucks badly. 2v2 with randoms is usually terrible since they're half the team. But other than that, points are pretty meaningless. You're just being sucked into Blizz's mind-controlling methods. | ||

I think that it is 10x harder to get in diamond 4v4 with a random team than to get in diamond in 1v1. Most of my games i'm like 1v3 or 2v4. Quite good to practise your macro and your trashtalk :p | ||
