I do agree though. I would play a lot more ladder games as other races and generally have more fun if they implemented this. | ||

and if ur say, a highly ranked player in diamond say, 1400 pts. within ur first 10-20 games of playing a new race u would already be facing players who are a fair challenge. ive made new accounts with trial keys and cracked out 15 games in a day, and by the end of the day i was facing 1100+ diamond players on a fresh account with only 15 games played | ||

Switchinig to Zerg was fucking painful T_T my winrate is down to 53%, and in the beginning it cost me about 200 - 300 points. and so what? What does it matter if you lose several hundred points when you switch races...the ladder rankings don't really matter as it stands. | ||

I've had a 66% win rate as zerg until I got 50... now i want to do the same with protoss, but the level is too damn high for someone blind, as you said. A good suggestion is to practice mechanics and macro and stuff in 2v2s, not ruining your stats. Watch a few replays, and start soloing. This helps, but isn't the solution. I went 0/7 with toss, MAJOR losing streak, now I'm 5/12, so if you really care about rating, best not switch as of now. | ||

I want to play all 3 races, but if I play random on diamond, I will get screwed. | ||

It DOES matter. Just because you want to have some fun playing your off races doesn't mean you want to have to lose a bunch of one sided games to finally play people that are your off race level. Then when you want to play your main you have to battle back up through people way beneath your skill? That is not a good system at all. | ||

play 2v2/3v3/4v4 with your off race ... won't make u as good as ur main race but u won't fall deep, if this is your concern. I was plat terran switched to toss few weeks ago for 4v4, dropped to gold in 1v1 as toss and now with a litte practice i am plat again and doing fine. And i know 2v2/3v3/4v4 game dynamics are very different to 1v1, but it'll help u get started. | ||

Custom games just don't work for practice purposes thanks to blizzard going all social on bnet 0.2 and I'm sure this won't change anytime soon. So yeah, we need this different-ladder-for-each-race idea implemented ASAP. | ||
