Ive got an idea of learning quick, but it requires someone to practice with: Do like this: select a matchup, say pvt, then switch races every game. So for example:
1. noob gets zealotrushed-->dies
2. noob zealotrushes-->dies because of wall
3. noob builds wall-->gets goonrushed-->dies
4. noob goonrushes-->Dies to tankmicro
5. noob builds wall and micro his tank-->dies to dt drop
6. noob drops dts...... and so on.
Never tried it exactly this way, but it sounds fun, and its the way I learned...only much slower >.<

You are not a lone. You can play BW on ICCUP

Got my invite! Observing some games right now. the whole experience is really smooth. Great work everyone!

Why would you remove random from the game?

If you play random vs random, will it avoid mirror matchups as on ICCUP? Will you implement true random vs "avoid mirror" random vs random?
Iccup doesn't avoid mirror matchups when playing random vs random. Why in the world wouldn't you implement a random?
Looks like a lot of people will be waiting for BW HD

I've read your post like 50 times and still don't understand it.

When I said "not implementing a random", it means "we use BW's random algorithm", not that you cannot play random on ShieldBattery.
And yes, that algorithm does avoid mirror matchups in random vs random, see the post I linked on the previous page:

I'm in.
IT'S HAPPENING ARTOSIS

Why would you want to avoid mirror matchups in random vs random? It's part of the game, and it's part of random vs random. Makes no sense :/

That would be a question only Blizzard can answer unfortunately.

OK, guys, read the post that tec linked to.
He is not saying avoid, as in completely avoid. He is using the exact same algorithm that BW uses, which avoids the likelihood that mirror matchups will occur. The BW algorithm favors non-mirror-matchups so they don't happen as much.
So yes, mirror matchups will still happen, at the exact same weighted randomness that they currently do in regular BW, iccup, fish... the same! Exact same! Nothing is different.

i think you're just misunderstanding how the BW random algorithm works
its just less likely of a mirror, not completely avoid, and its been this way for 15 years lol

18* 
RvR is really uncommon anyway. I imagine Blizzard was mostly trying to keep team games diverse, but for whatever reason also applied it to 1v1s. In any case, I don't really have a problem with it existing that way, and Eriador (I think) wants it that way, so I'm fine with it

So from what I've read and seen everything works pretty smoothly. Wouldn't it be time to invite some more people to get the servers a bit more crowdy and see how it's holding up? And with that I mean including people with a little less shitty specs *wink* *wink*

Thank you for the invite . I'm going to get some good friends into BW and we're all going to have fun learning together.

The RANDOMINATOR is a fraud who has skated by for years via not being tested with mirror matchups!

1v1 RvR = 5% mirror
2v2 RRvRR = 95% will be XXYZ (where XYZ are the 3 races)
