I usually hardly ever encountered cheese on the EU ladder... maybe 1 game out of 10. But today in the 6 matches I played I was cheesed/all-inned 5 times. So what are your experiences so far? (oh yeah, league wise I'm currently in platinum, playing high plat and diamond players)   | ||

Other reason could be they want to get a quick promotion before the ladder lock goes to effect preventing all demotion/promotion. | ||

You could be getting cheesed more than usual because of the time of day, the specific players style or the maps. Another person could be getting cheesed a lot less than you, but feel the frequency has increased when it's still within the norms + their own factors. | ||

I still managed to get out with a 4:2 today though. So I don't mind the all-ins too much, but they're not very fun games. | ||

That's the only reason I could come up with so far. This is why I hate the bonus pool. It shouldn't accumulate so quickly that players feel they need to cheese in order to have any hope of using it up. | ||

I'm going to 1v1 ladder in a few minutes, but I don't expect the ratio to be any lower. I'm ok with it. I'll lose to some and cream the rest! I felt an update was appropriate: In the last 10 ladder games (played in the last 24 hours): 5 zvz, 3 zvp, 2 zvt Cheese = 0 Compared to the last 10 games (7/10 cheese) this is quite a turnaround! I guess it all comes down to the luck of the match finder! Still, of the 10 recent games, only 3 of my opponents took an expansion while the rest opted for one base strategies, some more crazy than others. Nothing terribly unreasonable except the terran who made more hellions than marines. All my zvp's were against void ray strategies. The zvt's followed the trend of "early rush into banshee harass". All of the zvz's were banelings into mutas. None of this is "standard" in the sense that I don't see pros using any of these strategies, but it's a far cry from every game being cheese. Note: I'm playing people at the upper tier of gold or mid platinum, so I am indeed playing people who are close to changing leagues. | ||
