So, season starts again, which means you get to lose 20 games in a row to C/B/A players. Since there's no function to see which rank the guy was last season, noobs vanish, lowering your chances to get a good game even more. 10/10 would get raped again

Afaik B and above players only fall to C rank, not all the way to D, so they're marked (if they don't smurf).

You can check on iccup, like pauline wrote.

And I played several real D-ranks today, so they don't all hide ^^

Still, must be hard after each reset if you don't have the "I don't care about stats and enjoy just playing everyone I can for fun or to improve"-mindset.

I support the idea of a kind of reform on Iccup so everyone keeps their rank, or just drops one for example... but with the current point-system this wouldn't make much sense, so that'd have to be changed, too...

Still we could all agree on naming games in a way that gives away our real rank... and only joining games on our rank... I guess?

I usually write in game name '1v1 good', so ppl know ;p

Still lots of D- try and try again to join claiming they will own me ez, so it cant be that bad ;-)

At the moment I have 26-18 score, and I can say I had maybe 2 or 3 good games.. Other 45 it was just me raping or getting raped :D

I'm like C- old ranking system and I won 90+% of my games so far, so there really can't be as many C/B/A players as you claim. And even if there were, playing very good players is an opportunity to learn, it's not a bad thing.

Of course if every D/D+ players start having the same reasoning and are waiting 2 months after every ladder reset as you do, then yes eventually there will only be C/B/A players after every reset. Do you see the fallacy here?

edit: now I also remember yesterday being banned by an idiot who noticed I was C- 2 seasons ago when I joined his 1v1 FS D game. I had a quick argument with him because I was a "fucking smurf" and I should only join C- games. Of course if I join a C- game while I'm still D I get banned (normal), but if I join his D game in order to reach C- so I can play C- games (what he asked me to) he bans me. Basically according to these people I can't join any game...sigh...

Waahhhh (that's the sound of a baby crying)

So seriously, you expect people to get to their correct level by playing only against other players of their level from the get-go? Do you understand how a ranking system works?

Agree with Scarbo, it's annoying and system could be improved.
Always trying to check iccup rank on the site, but it could be hard to do fast enough.

I think you should play on Gameranger instead. There's only a few meanies who might beat you. ;(

If they added a way to just see the win-loss of the opponent that would already be a major improvement. There's a huge difference between a 2k player with 10-0 and a 2k player with 20-20.

Are they at least gonna return old system? New system is so broken and embarassing to even start to play. OLD SYSTEM OR RIOT! Also add E rank as default starting.

Agree. There should be a better system. This issn't even fun for the better players due to lack of competition.

Stop crying. I'm only C-/C level (by 2010 standards) and i have no problems playing so far. There are plenty of bad players and even if there weren't, what are you gonna do? Man up, watch the replays and enjoy seeing someone play leagues ahead of you. It's a great thing. That's the broodwar mindset.
