Anyway, since you'll be able to make 1 account and 2-3 IDs there's no worries. | ||

By making players accountable for who they are online - even if it's only by community measure - they are more inclined to behave accordingly. | ||

(A feature that might be worth paying for) hmm...wasn't that some kindof tournament game? wow man northrend and lordaeron are completely different...in northrend ppl mostly play 1v1 and 2v2...in lordaeron 3v3 is most popular, followed by 1v1 then 4v4... plus in northrend the blademaster isn't the most used orc hero...haha...he's actually third. and your archmage is 43 percent, wowzer | ||

At all. Only thing that matters is your rank, and how many games you've been playing (which allows more accurate fine-tuning of the rank). The only reason Win-Loss matters is EGO now. Warcraft 3 has the same system, where the system tries to move you to your "skill cap"- i.e. the point where you start breaking even against opponents. If you start dominating, you move onto better opponents where you begin struggling again. Etc. Its exactly like the true purpose of ICCUP should be... minus the huge number of players who simply reroll accounts and stomp on noobs when they get to their "skill cap" (i.e. I get to C+ and now I'm running into huge trouble-> wahh, my win-loss sucks-> reroll, yay!) | ||

If you want to play someone seriously, you should always give it your all, no matter stats, names or whatever. Allowing only one name is stupid beyond belief; what if I suddenly decide my name is no good? What if I want to be part of a small clan on the side of my main account, or just play some teamgames with my friends with a common theme for our names? I can think of NO valid reason to why they'd limit it to one account per game. None whatsoever. They just want less and less theft is all. Extremely poor decision by Blizzard. This has got to be retraced.. No way it wont. | ||

Anyway, since you'll be able to make 1 account and 2-3 IDs there's no worries. Frozen forgive me, I havent really read the past 10 pages here, I tried reading the last 2-3 but couldnt find what I am looking for.. My question: Has this been confirmed from blizzard? (the 1 account and 2-3 IDs) ?? Not saying its a good or bad idea (I think its a great idea) just wanna know if it was confirmed. | ||

That's not even the issue I was talking about if you bothered to read our exchange. My point is that if you are at B, and you need to practice a build that you play at the C- level, there's no convenient way for you to get to that level. You have to join-quit games repeatedly (which also screws with the ladder system anyway because it's handing out free wins), and waste a bunch of time. Win-loss doesn't factor into it at all. The issue is finding your appropriate skill level conveniently if you have some rapid decrease in your appropriate skill level for some reason or another. | ||

The issue is finding your appropriate skill level conveniently if you have some rapid decrease in your appropriate skill level for some reason or another. If you want to practice a new build, play non-ladder custom games. It might be a little more effort than just creating a new nickname and rolling your way up to the level where you play this new build, but it has the added bonus of preventing you from crushing all those people on the way up from the starting point to C- or whatever, and of preventing people from maliciously stomping newer players. Seriously, this is a no-brainer. Smurfing is actively harmful to creating a vibrant and competitive online community, and this solution eliminates it with, at worst, very minor collateral damage. | ||

Another rebuttal to a argument a while back - loosing against better players smurfing their way up teaches you stuff. Well unless they cheese which is apparently very popular if this thread is any indication: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=101498. | ||
