I think we should make it a requirement that everyone must play a 100 2v2's that way people will realize there is no such thing as cheese. There are multiple ways to win a game of starcraft.

Some just take longer than others

Definitely don't feel bad! A loss is always good to help one improve, so by beating them, you're helping them get better! You're doing them a service And if they decide to ignore the fantastic opportunity you've presented them to get better by bming and just hitting the matchmaking button straight away, that's their loss!

I played about 200-300 2v2s in season 1, usually went for fast expand into just having more stuff than both opponents combined :p

Also, there is cheese, the only question is wether you like to gamble or not... i don't :p

Remember its just a game and ladder points are just...well worthless. No point to feel guilty for winning. Well unless you do a lame cheese build.

I feel the same way. It doesn't feel wrong when I win though, because I only win by outmacroing them. It happens that my opponent makes suicide moves, and sometimes I know that he is a better player than me, but I don't really feel guilty, because it was he who made the mistake. I wouldn't say something like "gg noob" in that scenario, which some players do when they manage to beat better players, but then I wouldn't say that regardless. I rage a lot when I lose though, but never against players who beat me in macro games, because it feels fair when they beat me.

The better player deserves more points, so you're not stealing anything, you're taking what's rightfully yours.

Aw Chill thinks I'm cute. Haha, ah yeah, I will get over it. The first time I heard Tasteless say 'I'll be collecting your ladder points' I was absolutely shocked that someone could not feel guilty about collecting them. But then I figured out I was the weird one! Heh, thanks to everyone who is helping me change my attitude towards ladder much appreciated.
