Yesterday afternoon, I was comfortably sitting at 5th Rank of my division.

This morning Im now 25th...wow...overnight slips, are they always this much?

And to just top it off, there is someone with over 3,000 wins in my division! WHAT?!
That is just crazy compared to the general 20 wins that everyone else has...
either they hacked it or...they seriously dont sleep.

mOOnGLaDe (the 2nd grandmaster of the SEA server, has less that 100 wins...
and YoonYJ, the 1st place GM of the SEA server has 124 wins...

AND THIS RANDOM HAS 3k+?!
To see my division : http://www.sc2ranks.com/div/106293/division-kaloth-lambda

Now, is this normal? and im overreacting?
Im GUESSING their win ratio is like 50.5% or something, it is the only way to explain why they have over 3k wins and only 500 points

Looks like im just going to have to smash my way to the top of the division.

On top of that, my internet is capped

What that means , for the many who dont know about Australian internet companies, is that my ISP slows my internet down to a fraction of the normal speed because I have used over a set about of bandwidth.

In my case, I have 200Gb of bandwidth I can use before they slow me down.
Normally my internet is a 20Megabit connection...now its 256kbps...
ugh...
And to top it off my net is shared with 6 other people

This matters because it makes laddering risky, I could Dc at any point, and I can get major lag spikes making it near impossible to play

It would cost me $250 to get my own personal connection setup and frankly, I dont have that much money just lying about on my student allowance...

So ill just sit here and watch my ranking slip and my bonus pool increase to a crazy amount until I get my full bandwidth back (which isnt for another 8-9 days)... I CANT EVEN WATCH THE GSL! or any stream for that matter...

@ the ladder thing: This seems like mass demotion to me to balance out last weeks mass promotions(are you diamond per chance?).

@your internet problem: Oh man I've been there, only I didn't have slowing, (my connection never went past 256k anyways)but they'd shut my connection down if i went over 3gb. After 4 Months of having no internet whatsoever from the 21st onwards I finally got a new provider. But I had only 6 people on my network, can't imagine how annoying having 6 must be

haha if only I had your problem with internet, I have about 256kbps normally, when I'm capped it goes down to about 20kbps.

Someone portrait farmed, and now that they're done, they're actually playing real games to rank up.

What's new?

Urgh 3000+ that indeed looks like farming for portraits as Dfgj mentioned. Seriously... Or it's a shared account? I dunno. But his points should be way higher then, I mean playing 3000+ games and stuck at 500 is just ridiculous imho.

But keep going, you will catch up!
I just love video games, what's your excuse?

Probably he was sitting at 0 for portraits for ages, and has only started winning games (hence points/division going up).

I hate when you wake up and find you've been tossed down to a low rank, just because I don't want to have to grind it back up You have my sympathies, OP. Now go steal some nerds' ladder points and get up there.

im going to go all SWAT on these nerds, throw a flashbang through their window, and while they are dazed knife them in their mouse hand and kick their computer tower then steal their ladder points :D


Oh Tasteless, you make me lulz
