(ed: regarding OP) No. The ladder system is designed around the idea that you are playing a random opponent. If you want to follow it up with a rematch, fine, but keep it in a custom game. Hopefully Blizzard's chat functionality will encourage such a possibility.

Swallow your pride and admit you lost, and unless he was hacking you were beat fairly, despite whatever standards you may have for "cheap" or "cheese."

Why is there no rematch function in SC2? It seems like a pretty basic function to have in an online RTS game released in 2010? I feel like Starcraft is such an anonymous game right now and there is never time for any dynamic between players.

If I lose to some random ridiculous cheese I want to be able to at least have the chance for a rematch, same thing goes if I'm playing a trash talker. Sure you could arrange your own rematches but it's too complicated and requires too much complex interaction so you end up just clicking that find game button and face yet another random anonymous guy.

I feel like this in addition to chat channels and other changes people have suggested could help make the game more social, less anonymous and provide more dynamic interaction between players.

What do you think about my idea, does anyone disagree? Sorry if this has already been suggested and sorry about my English.

Why is there no function X in SC2? X seems like a straightforward and useful thing to have in a game released 2010?

Sure you could instead of X do Y but that is complicated so you dont do Y.

I think what you're saying has some validity, but I think logistically it's a mess.

I would like to have some auto rematches for games where I tie or get cheesed, but does my opponent? And I could venture a guess that most people who cheese non-stop (or a lot) wants to go again because he knows you know, taking away the surprise in his tactics.

Does the re-match feature FORCE the other person to do it? If so, how many times? And if not, what's the point of the button?

Just a lot of things to consider.

Of course it doesn't.
Believe it or not, some people like rematching. If we play a close game and you edge me out at the end, I might ask for a re. You'd likely say yes.
Happened all the time on iccup.

Why not just end with gg re? when you leave? It's easy to chat your opponent after the game.

Seems pretty useless.

Why not make it interesting double or nothing points?

way to easy to abuse.

its so easy to organise ur own anyway, this is a pointless function.

you shouldn't be allowed to rematch for points.

Horrible idea, this would be way too easily abused. I can already picture people trying to smart talk their way for some free points.

Wow, that's a great idea!

Like, after you concede, it gives you the option to ask for a rematch, and if you both click it, it'll rematch you. That'd be awesome.

I don't think rematch in ladder games is a good idea, but I would like to see rematch added to custom games. I am SO TIRED of having to re-setup my custom games from scratch when I'm using a custom to work on a build...

It's probably a lot harder to implement than it would seem but it really should be in place for a high profile game like Starcraft 2. To put thing into perspective Starcraft 1 was one of the first games to popularize actually having different races with different units and mechanics before that different races in games were pretty much the same but with different graphics and names on the units.

I doubt it would be hard to implement at all. Blizzard is renowned for their tireless iteration of every single aspect of their games. I'm sure that programming a re-match button which sets up a match between two specific players is trivial.

I too have found that clicking on their name after a match and then clicking chat is far too complicated and requires too much complex interaction.

To avoid trading wins, you could just have it turn the game into a BO3 for twice the points, but zero decline in points that way there is no way to in trade, and people who win won't be like "screw that..."

I would also LOVE to have this rematch option.
It adds a grudge component and, thus, more emotions into the whole system. Everything is so anonymous anyways.

Right now, you lose to some stupid shit and don't even have a chance to try it again.
Plus: Many players always opt for the same all-in build which you could easily dismantle in the second game. This would also help them to see that they have to adapt.

To people saying just ask for a rematch: try it yourself. In most cases they won't even answer as they don't want to play without points.
And even if they are willing, most of the time they already started the next game due to AMM.
Abusing: Just make it BO3 (as someone proposed already)

OR if I get raped by some B- or higher player working his way up the ranks, of course I'm going to ask for a re, simply to have them point out more flaws in my gameplay (as a C- player). And to them, they simply get more points. Win/win.

It probably wouldn't be difficult for Blizzard to implement a rematch function that sets up a custom game lobby with the players from the previous game. But really, how much of a problem is it to do the job yourself?

It's about a guy who can't make new memories, looking for the guy who raped and killed his wife!

Really good movie - you see the movie from end to start

. Interesting story telling!
