It would take like 50 losses to get from diamond to bronze and only 20 to get back up, this doesnt make any sense. I've met a bronze player while I was in diamond, probably when his MMR was on the upswing. It happens. Not too hard to disconnect every other game, win one, quit right away, win one, quit right away... Repeat ad nauseum. It makes sense and it happens. | ||

EDIT: Well obviously some people sandbag and OP has found evidence of this, but just because you are in Silver and going against a team with a platinum member does not mean a player is doing anything weird. | ||

But i have to agree : in 1on1 its just stupid, demoralizing for the players who don´t stand a chance, and to me it would be extremly boring to try to play bronze all the time for a different pic on the screen. | ||

This is somewhat correct. Although I find those that are being dicks much easier to tolerate if I see a Victory screen at the end. ------------------ I was not saying that anyone in 2v2 was sandbagging. I guess I really can't understand how someone Platinum 1v1 teamed with someone Diamond 1v1 could make a main race team and place in Silver 2v2 then have a 50/50 win ratio with that team. Perhaps if it were off-race I could understand. ------------------ With the high level and low level friends, these teams tend not to be dicks. In fact, it is usually clear that one player is much worse and even when we get ROFL stomped by the better player, the replay and profile check after typically show this. Honestly these games tend to be fun because we do moderately well enough that if we get lucky and hit the better player with the combined attack we stand a chance in the game. Of course when we are unlucky and kill or nearly kill the lower ranked player, it is usually death by macro. =) ----------------- Anyway thanks for all the replys and reading my rant. I am done working for the day so thanks for helping me pass the time. =) | ||

One is primarily for "fun" which he got demoted from Diamond to Bronze. | ||

1 v 1, I can understand your beef....but team games.....they're for the lulz. When I try i can beast up 4 v 4 games due to most of the players being terrid, but why try in team games? | ||
