Some of the most closed-minded jerks I've met here were high diamond players. While we're on stereotypes: Lower league players: lower skills, humility from being beaten time and time again. Upper league players: higher skills, massive ego derived from their ranking. See? I can do it too. If the upper league players feel they need a separate restricted subforum to be able to discuss things, go ahead. I won't mind. I just think they'll be severely disappointed with the amount of change in post quality. quality posts? i havent found many in the strategy forum. ;D atleast the ability to view someones rating without much trouble would be nice because not only do you then know where the advice is coming from but you can also give it the proper amount of consideration <,< | ||

It's always been garbage even back when it was first created (and in fact I used to play with one of the admins back pre-BC and he was a stoner douchebag then and I can't imagine anyone less qualified to run such a website regardless of their glad titles) and full of drama between elite players. Rampant flaming of unpopular players like Serennia and Affix, all kinds of drama over match fixing and point selling, even when you had the occasional actual balance discussion thread they rarely went anywhere because of all the accusations of class/comp bias. The principal mistake being made is assuming players who are higher-ranked automatically have an encyclopedic knowledge of the game and are more likely to make constructive posts. While I'm not going to argue the opposite and would actually be in favor of such a board experiment just to see if it can be effectively ran, you really can't say for certain either way and it's foolish to make the assumption based on purely just ladder ranking. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=99492¤tpage=3 Check out Ver's post. This thread was started by a high level player, and quite a few lesser players were trying to give him advice that wasn't really all that helpful. But Ver here offers a wonderful and insightful mini-essay about the specific problems and why things work like they do. Page 1 and 2 also have some really great posts by high level players. I would love to see a section of SC2's strategy forum that had a skill requirement AND a very harsh ban policy (like strat forum bans, but just for the special strat forum.) High level discussion is always very helpful for players like us. | ||

There is a reason the request for a forum for above diamond players only (around 4000 per server) Because anyone below are not remotely competent at the game. Im 1400 and daim i suck. I suck so much that if i ever decided to compile a list of replays and present it to the strategy forum the advice from copper - platinum is most likely not going to elevate my play. (brb posting.) xD. The OP was made 25 days ago, which means a 1200 rating when the OP was made is an 1800 rating now. | ||

I mean, the sc2 strategy forums have never been very good besides a few key threads that get derailed (even compared to scbw strategy, which was only as good as it was because chill had a lot of work on his hands), at least it would be nice to strain out the imbalance whining posts. | ||

I think the problem isn't the posts but the people reading them who dismiss any post that uses someones personal opinion as 'imbalance whining' 80% of the posts are on legitimate topics and while some OPs might not be as finely worded as we might like they are far from whining. Also 1200 point Diamond is not pro, I'm 1200 point Diamond and I suck still. | ||

The strategy forum section will eventually be cleaned up by banlings and good moderation and overall we should probably be glad for whatever feedback we can get. | ||

Also, this is further compounded by the fact that blizzard likes to match you up against players who are slightly better than you, and beating them gives you more points (and losing leads to a smaller loss of points). If you play more riskier styles, this might lead you to get a higher point total than a more conservative player of the same skill, even though both of your MMRs are the same. | ||
