I truly truly hate with a passion those guys who are like 1v1 game D only when they end up to be D+ C- and just trying to raise their ranks.

The past 2 games I've played were both players playing me, a D and they were both either C- or C+ and I HATE IT!!!! I WANT TO PLAY PEOPLE MY OWN LEVEL INSTEAD OF BEING BUMPED TO D- BY PEOPLE 3 TIMES BETTER THAN ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has that ever happened to you and if you feel frustrated please respond thank you, good bye.

You're being pretty hypocritical right now. You say you don't want to play people better than you that make you go down in ranks (lose) because they just want to get their rank up, yet the reason you don't want to play them is so your rank is higher..? Iccup is not a race, unless you're like A+ material. Play it to get better, aka, whenever someone higher rank than you wants to play you, do it. Play the game of your life and get 230 points from a win and make them feel like shit. If you just want to nooby bash D level all day and worry about your rank than you have the wrong mindset. The point of playing is to get better, not to win games, and when you do get better you will win more games so ?____?.

Honestly, the players that are bottom feeders who are C- or C aren't that good. I've only played two of them, but I've beaten them both fairly easily (if memory serves me correctly). I'm a low D+ at my best.

Now players that aren't usually bottom feeders advertising for a D+ game when they're a middling C level is kind of low. I think I played one guy who did this and he trashed me.

lol... you can see their rank when they / you join the game, and you can see it any time by typing /stats.

you're retarded for actually playing them and then complaining about it because a) you could just leave in the game lobby before the game starts or b) you can leave before 2 minutes after the game starts.

seriously this blog makes NO sense... you are not obligated to play anyone. If you make a game called "1v1 D go" and a C rank player joins, tell him to go fuck himself and ban him.... the fact that you are actually playing these people means you are stupid for making this blog.

I do the opposite on Iccup. If I'm at D I start a game with "motw 1v1 D/D+", if I'm D- I ask for D-/D, etc. This might be why I'm getting so many losing streaks recently.

Yeah, lol, obviously your aim should be to play as good players as possible. If an A+ player would join your game, would you really decline? If so then you're a patethic coward!

a bit harsh perhaps. Maybe you just don't like to play the game competively

If you can't host, then you can just make a point of checking their stats either before or right after the game starts, and leave if it is the wrong rank. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with wanting to play only D when you are D, only D+ when you are D+ etc.

I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand, I welcome any opportunity to play people better than me, and to learn, but on the other, there's only so much that can be gained by playing people against whom you have no chance at all.

To draw a parallel to professional sports, if a highschool athlete were to practice hitting a baseball against a college level pitcher, he would miss far more pitches than he would hit, but occasionally would catch one and learn from it.

If that same highschool kid were to practice hitting a baseball against Randy Johnson, he would have no chance at all, and would gain virtually nothing from the experience.

Is this a bad comparison?

=\

Regardless, there is a level of player who just has no business meddling around the D ranks. They gain nothing from beating up on lowly players like me, and the lowly players like me get nothing more than some build order practice from the whole ordeal...
