So before the lockdown I was rank 1 bronze on EU server. I had learnt on how to macro and how to scout terran and zerg builds, (early gas for zerg.... usually means bling bust or bling/ling,muta, early roach warren usually means a roach allin as bronze eu zergs dont know how to do anything else, a terran who goes for 1/1/1 opening and has a factory with a tech lab? More than likely its a banshee opening). I have been doing well in tvt and tvz, however in tvp I keep loosing to 2base goddame all ins. The protoss's in the top 8 of my division at the end of season 4 started to 4gate everything and soon I fell to rank 5. Then my placement match happens, and guess what its a tvp, and even worse its a 4gate. I throw down bunkers but he uses the back door in your natural on Arid Plateau. Great just great, and ofc when i play the next 4 games (they were all tvt's and tvz's) i won them. I cant help but think that if the game was a tvt or a tvz id be in silver now. Least im winning again, but im pissed coz i really wanted to get a promotion.

Then a few days ago, I have another tvp and another 4gate (big suprise). I decide to try a banshee opening and it was successful, I forced him to stop mining killed a good amount of probes, however im still learning to macro and micro with banshees, so my macro slipped. I saw his 4gate bunkered up managed to defend and pick off a colossi, however he just decided to run his stalkers into my base past my bunkers (it was on xel naga). And thats when i loose it, the son of a bitch then tells me to surrender, and thats when the Bm starts. I decided to go float my buildings out to the corner of the map and tell him that he has to do something other than a 2base all in if he wants to win.I come back a little later and he tells me learn to play. A SILVER PLAYER WHO DOSE NOTHING BUT 2BASE ALL IN TELLS ME TO LEARN THE GAME. I wont stand for this, so I start to bm. Ofc he responds with stupid statements like 'I pwned you noob'' (that obviously tells me that he's not a smart person, I hate the expression 'i pawned you' it sounds really stupid when people use it.) So thats when his phionex find my floating buildings and I tell him to F off, straight away after he uses that stupid expression. I quit the game (he found my buildings so there was no reason to stay). Block him and later find that he did the exact same thing to another terran after getting 6pooled the next game.

Bdw im usually very mannered on the ladder, I always glhf and this guy didn't respond when I did that (On bronze that usually indicate's to some kind of cheese). As for my regulations on bm, I'll never bm a player unless he Bm's me first.This is my first bad experience with someone during a ladder game. bdw. And i hate the fact the these are the players who are getting promoted, coz all they do is 2 base all in every game. I can macro (got a bit of coaching from a masters player), and that's the reason why i did so well before the ladder lock-down. Im really pissed that blizz thinks that a player who dose 2base all in's and talks like a idiot is better than someone who can macro in a league where most players dont macro. Not only that he used the same strategy that cost me my promotion.

You forgot 1 gate proxy, 2 gate proxy, 4 gate blink, 5 gate zealot, cannon rush, one base collosus.

Also all those Terran allins are quite rare bar 1/1/1. I almost never hear or see Terrans do half of those builds, and 2port banshee isn't a 1 base allin.
