lol, this thread is funny. For one, ladder is supposed to be practice so why does rank matter in the first place? if your in diamond... your in diamond.... doesnt matter if your rank 1 or 80. Dragon is mainly doing this because most of his viewers beg him to troll lower leagues and give him accounts to do so. None of the twitch staff has a problem with it. Hell, they watch it and enjoy it as it entertains them. I completely understand why dragon is charging people to level up accounts. Its good business. For a while he was doing it for free but not to level up accounts, he was just doing it to entertain his viewers. its all for fun man, dont take it so seriously. You almost make yourself sound like one of those old people who thought SOPA was a good thing (as far as your comprehension of the situation).

After the fiasco with Dragon leaving slayers, I've noticed that he's been leveling accounts up for money. I'm not quite sure if other professional players do this as well, but I feel incredibly against this.

Just recently on his stream a rank 7 diamond player was forced to play Dragon. He stream sniped Dragon, and then BM'ed Dragon until the end of the game. Dragon continuously taunted him, starting the game off by going 3 nexus. I had hoped that the chat would be upset at Dragon, but they all went on a rant against the other player. Was it fair that he had to play Dragon? NO! It isn't fair. It only hurts your ladder play. You don't gain anything by playing Dragon, aside from being embarrassed and taunted continuously.

1) What dragon is doing is ILLEGAL.
2) Dragon was caught cheating before slayers, so how can anyone be mad at anyone that BM's him.
3) It isn't fair to be sub masters and have to play against Dragon because you will lose over and over.

It's as if an MLB player was playing with a bunch of little leaguers...It just isn't right, or fair. The game is supposed to be fun, but if you're being BM'd by a professional player, it is discouraging to play.

Or, when you're in an FPS game (say call of duty) and you're supposed to play against a team on your level (say your team is cevo M or O) and the other team is cevo M, but a cevo P team smurfs under a different name to make money. It's not good for starcraft, and it isn't good for any game.

I hope that Blizzard can somehow fix this issue and ban Dragon from doing this because if I had to play him I'd be upset. I want to play people at my skill level, or slightly above. You will not get better by playing him over and over. I cannot understand how Dragon fan boys can support him while he does this

Does anyone agree with me, or am I taking this too far? Am I over-analyzing this?
On a side note:
I get my new laptop in less than two weeks and I'll finally be able to play! It's been almost 4 months now since I've played any game!

ur a hater gtfo

All I see stupid about this are the people who pay him to level their accounts. What are they getting out of it? Who can they even tell about it, as they won't be able to prove to anyone they are actually GM, high masters, or w/e rank he got them to? Tbh, if I got smurfed by Dragon, I wouldn't even know. All I would know is that someone outright raped me and I could learn things from it.

No. People pay Dragon to rank up their accounts to masters or GM or w/e. He's saying that even with stream sniping, he has no chance against Dragon, who is top 8 GM in NA. He's just complaining about the fact that it's unfair for random diamond, low masters players to get utterly destroyed, and that if they BM, they get played with by Dragon's own BM and chat.

Since he cant be judged in court for it it isn't illegal. It might break the user agreement to blizzard but it isn't illegal.

The OP is quite confused - what Dragon is doing is certainly not illegal (illegal implies criminal activity) - but it's certainly against the Blizzard ToS and bannable. Alot of people do things against the ToS (account sharing for convenience) but if Dragon is leveling accounts, it certainly goes in the shady side of things.

I've never liked Dragon all that much, and if this is the sort of things he's doing (leveling accounts, trolling), it's unsurprising that he's not in Slayers anymore.

lol I've leveled a few names on NA and EU. It's fun. There's nothing wrong with what he did. 2k+ people get enjoyment from watching him triple CC before rax or something else stupid.

He's an entertainer, and he entertains. Like a noob would complain of playing a pro gamer? You know how many times I've bragged about LOSING to someone? C'mon.

preach.
