Well I think the stacraft 2... Um... Engine??? Or system maybe, does not only look on wins and losses I think it goes for how you play and wins and losses, heard something like that somewhere.

Plat is about D level starcraft. You might think that's nothing, but really a D player in SC is probably in like the 90th percentile overall

Overall, but if you are looking at the "road to the top" ladder, the 90 percentile looks mighty insignificant. The only reason why so many people are in platnium is because there are so many "new to rts//wow noobs" playing.

exactly the same in 90% of the platinum games as well, protoss goes for some 1base all-in attack and when you defend it they ragequit

I thought I would get placed in sliver (I voted for that too b/c at the time I didn't finish my placement matches) since I suck but I managed to win all five placement matches and got placed in plat (luckily right? or maybe not).

Here's the situation:
2/5 games, the player just left (no reason whatsoever, I wasn't even at an advantage); They were both ranked silver.
2/5 games, the opponent was bronze.
1/5 games, the opponent was unranked. (EDIT: Don't know about now but he/she was unranked when I faced him/her)

So now I'm gonna be stuck in plat. The strangest thing is that I never even faced any plat or gold players so how did I get placed in plat?

EDIT: For some reason, I can't view other people's profile anymore; I tried to check up on the unranked player but couldn't

but lets think about it this way. let's say somehow Idra got his account reset and played the same set of matches. he couldn't control the fact that he didn't play any plat or gold players. he just beat the players he got placed against. he'd be pretty upset that he didn't get in plat despite going undefeated in placement.

also if you really don't belong in plat then i'm sure you'll lose a few then drop to gold or wherever you belong. i guess you're one of the few people that got "unlucky" and placed into plat.

I finally got a betakey yesterday. Yay, I don't have to monopolize my friend's account anymore!

Won 3 placements matches easily, but then I got matched up against a platinum player who was actually pretty damn good, and I got owned. Won the last one, so I got in Gold.

...This is to people saying that you can't be matched up against plat players in the placement matches. :[

I only played 2 1v1 game at my friend house and ended 1-1 in Gold. I guess I could end up in Plat by playing more :~\

Yeah I guess, but still is there any reason why Blizzard don't let me face plat or gold players. Shouldn't they at least have you face against a player in each league? Or make use of the question they ask you in the beginning about you being a beginner or pro or w/e.

PS: I like how everyone uses idra as an example :D

EDIT: The funny thing is my friend's better than me and he got placed in silver first time around (after the latest reset). He's now in gold (just got promoted).

True, I'm a D ranked player, and I'm in plat league, that's insane. But I think I would be able to climb up quite easily right now because I've started to use cntr groups now, and apm is around 90ish out spam midgame :D...
