Today I played a game on iccup with someone with the nick "Lx.cn" I asked him if he was the Chinese player Legendary and he said he was. I don't know if it was for real though, the apm was only around 140 apparently. He cheesed me too! >_<

He was a C with 2500 pts but he hosted a game that was D/D- -__-

He's not cheating... he's just taking advantage of the way the rating system is set up. Ideally the points will be calculated such that the odds of winning directly determine how many points you will get/lose if you have the ability of your current rank. We all know it doesn't necessarily work that way.

Although, if he's hosting a game D/D- and then not giving his opponent opportunity to realize they are against a C, that's bad XD

From the looks of it he's been struggling really hard to even stay at C while D-bashing, so I guess it works well enough. He's lost a lot of games to D's.

That's why I go on my D account sometimes and make games called 1v1 D. 30% of the time, a D+ or higher joins my game. After 2 minutes has gone by, I tell them that they are abusing the ladder system and I will punish them for it. In the end, I'll get a lot of fuck yous and he'll eventually disconnect.

Yeah the fact is when you bash lower ranked players, you gain almost nothing, and lose quite a bit when you lose, so I think it works out fine.

edit: I don't think a D+ playing against a D is "abusing the system." Though generally it seems less acceptable to join a lower ranked game than a higher ranked one (that is, if you're D and join a D+ game, it's more likely to be okay with the guy than if you're D+ and join a D game). Though really, in a D vs D+ situation, I think the D player gets the better deal, because the skill difference isn't really that great, and the D player gets something like +162 or -37 on motw. If you win 25% there you're doing fine.

how do they abuse the system???
the system is perfect...lower skill of opponent = lower chance to get many points, high risk to lose many pts. its PERFECTLY fine.

and high ranks who join D games just decided for themself that they will play many many many games against lower skilled players instead of gaining the same in just a few games.

I mean the formulas they use for calculating how many points you win/lose are not accurate.

Notice the times of these games... all cheese vs D players. I think if you decide to play iCCup, one of the 1st things you should learn is how to scout and defend early aggression =P

Chinese players are incapable of moving their fingers slowly enough to achieve only 140 APM.
