If you want to try a new race, you are going to have to man up and take that hit on your rating. Think of it this way, you will be a better player over-all if you branch out.

Any news on whether or not we will be able to make multiple profiles on battle.net on release? I'd like to make an offrace profile so I can practice against other people without losing my rank.

I agree, I dont want to lose rank but I would still like to be able to play other races
|
I would also like to make a spam bot account so plz can som1 answer this
|
Nope. 1 account.
Want another account for offracing? 50$

Last I heard Blizzard made it clear that this game is going to be 1 profile/account per CD key and that they have no intention of changing it. Presumably because it would be too easy to toss your placement matches, create a new account and kill bronze league folks, then repeat every time you get promoted.
It would be nice to have a different rank for each race though.

Don't think that would be a problem, if anyone would do that blizzard could simply ban the entire account.

Unfortunately no, no multiple accounts. But you can always do custom games to practice your offrace and work things out with practice partners
|
Or just don't worry about your rank so much and have fun

I would like this.
Somewhat related: I also want a profile feature for graphics/sound settings. I want to play with Low settings but I enjoy watching replays (and probably playing campaign) with higher graphics. Its annoying to manually switch everything back and forth.

Uhm, they have? Last time I remember this issue being brought up, they said they were still deciding on how to handle multiple profiles (might have been specifically for the purposes of off-racing).
If I'm wrong, feel free to provide a source, until then I'm re-opening this.

Your info is probably more up to date. Last I heard was quite a while ago, pre-beta or early beta.

This is very true but could blizzard not just give placement matches to each race so your 1 profile could log your stats individually with each race and place you in a league relative to the skill of that specific race .
For example protoss in diamond
Zerg in platinum
terran in silver
All races under one ID

I believe the last time it was brought up was in an interview somewhere around the middle of the beta, but I cannot remember which one...
Anyhow, if the custom game system didn't suck so bad, this wouldn't be as big of a deal, but currently you can't even make specific game names... So let's say I want to play some PvT, I have nobody online who plays T, and I go to make a custom game....
I have no control over the level of my opponent, the race of my opponent, or indeed what matchup he's interested in playing. Compare this to the old SC1/WC3 system where I could create a game name called:
"1v1 Lost Temple - Diamond - PvT"
|
It would be neat if they had a league for each race.
Meaning 5 placements each.
You play terran mainly? You might be in diamond league.
Zerg offrace? Platinum.
|
The race idea would work fine. I hope Blizzard finds the right solution for this if they still give a damn.

Yeah I agree wholeheartedly. That and the fact that a newer, better, game can never get its name out in the current system because nobody will ever play it enough for its name to get popular. Also the current system favors fast games over long ones.

I'll put money on you being able to make a new profile/change your name ... for a low low price of only $5-$15 bones!

It's the age of "please pay us some more PLZ".. No way they'll allow an extra service go free.

What a clever way to make SC2 like WoW, money making wise.
