Broken ladder system?

There are people on Sc2 ladder that intentionally lower their MMR by instant-quitting the games. Today I ran into such a guy and got a free victory.

But then…

I ran into that guy again. I typed in “:-)” quickly before he left. Then I got in 2 more times. I got 4 free wins. Crazy, isn’t it?

Today I decided to measure my productivity more objectively. So far I was looking into the amount of games I play, but it’s very inaccurate. Sometimes I have an illusion of playing a lot, while in reality I just held off 3 six pools. Sometimes I’m exhausted after playing only 10 games because they were all 30-minute epic macro duels.

Those 4 free wins got me thinking. Do I also count that as “games played”? Screw that!

I’ve created a MS Exel spreadsheet that calculates time of pure gameplay every day. I just type in the game length that is shown after every day in the stats screen. It converts this game time into real time and sums it up for the day.

I’m curious how many hours per day am I really playing…

Am I really a pro in the making? Or am I just an amateur fooling himself that he practices a lot?




PS I fucked up the title again -.- I'm too used to "posting" first and double-checking and editing later. On TL I can't edit titles though :-P

Please get sc2gears! Having to type down all the game-times in an excel document seems like an awful lot of extra work. It'll save all your replays as well which is interesting for more statistics, like winrate vs each race and so on.

I just looked through sc2gears and it doesn't have game length/day though Perhaps you can try suggesting it to dakota, he's pretty receptive to new ideas i think.

But still, yeah! sc2gears is really useful for stats and such.

I'm using sc2gears for stats. But sc2gears doesn't allow me to do the calculations I'd like regarding play time each day, so I would have to take numbers from Gears into Exel anyway. Might be just a personal preference of an Exel geek ^.^

I'm actually posting weekly stats that I take from sc2gears
