EPTWhen playing SC1 you could always create another bnet account and play with 0-0 stats all over again.
With BNetv2 I am not sure you can do that.
Is it possible to do it?
What about IF it was possible, would you do it?
Create new account / reset your own

Whether you will be able to do that in the future is still somewhat unknown. Blizzard did say they have plans to introduce an ability to play non-ranked so that people can try out other races without fear of losing ranks. | ||

Especially in the iCCup server because people would just make new accounts and play lower levels and ruin that whole game aspect. All because they didn't like their "stats" or W-L ratio. It's stupid and almost every other game I played was against someone with a new account that was twice as good as me, that was no fun. This is a valid point, but what about someone like me who has a poorer w/l ratio due to drops? Or what about someone who is learning and then becomes much better after losing many early games? I think a fair compromise would be to allow one reset every two or three months. | ||

If you really do it, you could go to low diamond or fall to platinum. Why can't I have another BNet Acc to play with a different race? | ||

It's laughable how they have this amazing website for WC3 with all the statistics and for SC2 they cant even list winrate per MU. | ||

It's also horrible for families who want to let their kids play or whatever and they all have to use the same account even if they're all at different skill levels. Why not just let people buy out a secondary user name for $5 or something. | ||

Maybe not if we see a system like WC3. WC3 would reset XP and standings but would never reset win/loss ratios. Being able reset an account is just something else glaring that Bnet 2.0 is missing. And I find absolutely no reason why two bnet multiplayer accounts shouldn't be able to be tied to the same CD key. As long as the players can't log in at the same time, what's the harm or piracy risk? | ||

Smurf accounts basically pull up the ladder for any new people to get into SC2, and it can lead to the bottom ranks being harder than the middle ranks in extreme cases. People get immediately discouraged when all their matches are vs people months/years beyond them. Really reading the thread the harm should have been obvious even if you don't think it's a big deal. | ||
