I played a bit too much on my friends account and got it to masters(he hasn't touched the game for over 6 months), and now he wants to play again. What would be the fastest way to get it back to gold?

Probably starting a game and leaving.
We have multiple brackets generated in advance. Relax . (Kennigit) I just simply do not understand how it can be the time to play can be 22nd at 9:30 pm PST / midnight the 23rd at the same time. (GGzerg)

MMR is a bit high(it was around top 200 level b4 grandmasters was introduced), thats a lot of games to lose T_T I mean I know people that actually nuke their rank for useless portraits and shit, just wondering how they do it.

Not trolling, might be better to just spend your $60 again and get a new account, and have him get placed again based on his current skill.

He could just start playing, and after a few games he'll fall back to his level. Or you could accelerate the process and have fun by doing ridiculous builds/all-ins/ cheeses, every single game., and quit when it doesnt work out. :p

Keep starting games and do a statistical analysis of how long the games last without you doing anything. Post the statistics here.

Oh, and organize them by race.
There is but one truth.

this is the most blatant brag blog of all time.

The answer isn't even hard to guess either.

Why would anyone brag about getting masters. Could it not be possible that my friend who hasn't played in a while would actually like to be able to last past 5 minutes on ladder?

And like I said before, I know there are people who nuke their records into oblivion to portrait farm, and I was just asking for the method, obviously not for portrait farming.

Ar-tard.

edit: I guess I'll just play normally as random, and play only the maps/matchups I want, and leave a game if I'm about to win. That should make this less boring.

OMFG THAT SO GOOD!!! DO THAT!!!

if you don't want to do the above AMAZING idea xD, then let him play masters and see how it is. obviously, if he begins failing then hes not ready (NO REALLY?) but if he SOMEHOW manages to keep his rank, then awesome . but i still like ecrilon's idea.

I second that, tried it once and it took me 40 games to go from top diamond to top plat. And in 10 games I was back up.

It's very boring, and frustrating.
