Rotinegg: Is it that difficult for you to understand that someone with SC:BW experience has a much easier time blending into Sc2 than someone who has zero starcraft experience but only has Micro-rts experience?

Wc3 and starcraft are both strategy games, that's where the similarities end. The games are so far apart that I don't even know where to begin.

Also in the beginning of starcraft 2, everyone was new and didn't know many tactics and the metagame had not even settled yet, the overal dififculty was much easier, the opponents were not as skilled.

I only blended it last month where everyone already settled in a long time ago. Diamond during release would equal like gold in the current game, really.

I really don't get why you people say that someone with starcraft experience started out pretty nicely in starcraft 2, so someone with warcraft experience should too?? It's just plain awkward and twisted.

Because bronze players are really really bad. "Competitive" war3 players may not be macro-based, but they aren't completely physically incapable of macroing. It's totally inaccurate to refer to war3 as a purely micro RTS - it's a micro based RTS, but there's macro in it; plenty of War3 players have had perfectly fine success. Any actual competitive war3 player would be able to easily win against bronze players regardless of their macro because that's how bad bronze players are. (I've done accounts where I deliberately lost my placements and went into bronze and holy crap).
I don't think anyone has a problem with you calling yourself a war3 player or something, just the fact that you believe you were competitive, while also being able to have been a bronze player.

It's completely relevant because your one word response, "Bullshit", seems like something a child would post.

Your argument about being truly stuck in a league doesn't make any sense. Being stuck in a league is time based... If you play for a week and can't get out of a league, guess what, you're stuck in that league. And I find it laughable that you want proof over this... To me it seems that you idolize gamers and can't wrap your mind around them not being good at every game.

It's hard to believe because hotkeys are similar enough between games and mechanics are similar enough that even with a deficit (by not utilizing mechanics properly), the mechanical abilities and multitasking of A+ players should be sufficient to make plat impossible. Shit, I was a low C player, and without playing beta I got diamond on my 2nd day of playing without even knowing warpgates existed....
