I felt like my skills have completly disappeared few months ago when I tried iccup and got demolished by "D" level players who reached C- - B in 1-2 weeks. Thanks to blizzard's greediness there's less smurfing in the ladder. | ||

For me, this is one of the reasons I've remained random. I only have a few hours a day to play at best, and with medical school coming up I expect that number to go down; if I picked a race I could certainly get better much faster, but I'd also be missing out on 2/3rds of the game. I guess I'd rather be a medium diamond with all three races and get to enjoy all the matchups than be a higher diamond with one and be stuck with just a few. That certainly doesn't solve problems for people like the OP through, who want to be good with one but still be able to enjoy the others at a lower level. | ||

However we don't really have a say since it's your money. The ideal solution would be Blizzard implementing a system where you have a different ladder account for each race. My 2's partner wants to try out Zerg really badly [ terran player ] but since he's diamond terran he gets put up against those people while trying out zerg for the very first time. | ||

Thanks to blizzard's greediness there's less smurfing in the ladder. I like seeing my apm after games, and thus I look at every single game of mine at bwchart after playing. And when I saw the guy's 262 apm against my 100 (my zerg apm is 100ish and more than my Terran apm and Protoss apm combined), I just used bad language for iccup even though how much I like their work. I think buying an account should have its own cost and conditions. But definitely should not be free. | ||

They are missing out on some decent money if they charged $10-20 for a new ladder account that is tied to your bnet account, so you can only have one logged in at a time | ||

I inferred the problem as one where you can't get challenging but winnable ladder games in all nine matchups unless all your races are the same skill level. It's not caring about ladder points, it's the need to lose a bunch of games to get where your offraces are, and then re-grind those points in one-sided games on your main so you can get challenged in your best race again. | ||

But yeah I feel you somewhat but this feels too much playing in blizzard's way for me. | ||

That is an even bigger waste than a smurf account from a personal point of view. ^^ | ||

You are exactly right. This is the only way I can have a fun and fair challenge with both off-races and on my main. | ||
