I think this might get discussed in hots. With the ''global play'' this might come into consideration. At very least we will get account per server(i hope so).

This has pretty much been brought up 1 billion times before
Yes everyone wants a separate MMR for each race

There are SOOOOOOOO many topics on this, the most recent is only from February. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=315784

Yes, it'd be a great idea, however Blizzard has already stated that they look to implement unranked ladder, no it's not an ideal solution but it actually seems like a relatively decent compromise in my opinion.

Fact is that Blizzard would lose out on alot of money if they did this, therefore they won't do it. Why would they anyway? People that want to off-race without worrying about their MMR/ranking buys new accounts already.

Yes please some kind of MMR system for offracing. Playing 300 games on clound kingdom isn't very fun compared to laddering.
If you screw your MMR on your main only way to access to playerbase thats good enough to outplay you is by asking people in chatchannels (what I've been doing for 7months because my MMR didnt raise fast enough for my taste and I ended up roflstomping pepole).
as useful as teasalt

I am without internet ever other two months, due to moving and work. I actually bought a smurf account to play on when I first get my internet back. It was a really good idea, but sadley it shouldn't have costed me 60 dollars.

Why would Blizzard ever do this if the only way they make more money is if you buy another copy of their game? It would be throwing money away to fix something that isn't even a problem for 99.999% of their player base.


That's not the only way Blizzard makes money lol. And they are about to start making even more money now that Kespa will be paying them royalties.

Or don't play at all. I would play more SC2 if I could mess around with other races at my actual skill level with those races, but it isn't worth 50 euros. I'd rather spend my money buying another, new game.

People put to much weight on their ladder ranking. I do agree ones skill can vary a lot with matchup (I currently have no idea about ZvZ but I'm fine in ZvP and to a lesser extent ZvT) so independent MMR for the matchmaking system is a good idea, although I don't know how Blizzard has designed the system and I wouldn't be surprised if it's already taken into account. Point is your ranking doesn't really matter, it's not a direct measure of skill. If you truly are high master caliber you will get to that rank given you play regularly.

I have to say I have no idea how it "works" for players just below the pro-level of play, maybe ladder rank carries importance for online tournaments and such but I can't believe it matters more than whether you are in masters/GM or not.
