I read your post just fine. It's a completely superfluous system because it doesn't distinguish you in any way. If you're in silver and get a portrait for it, everyone you play against will have the same portrait. If we reward for improvement and not mass games, that is still giving people the goal to keep playing for avatars, while improving themselves and would add so much more to what these avatars mean. At the moment, it means little. 95% of people will not improve. They will plateau at whatever their skill level is, and even if the game matures and play becomes overall better, they will still be in the same percentile of skill level and therefore in the same league. "Win 1000 ladder matches" are goals for these people, not people who make concentrated efforts to improve by practicing and watching Day9 and watching their own replays and learning build orders/strategies. Blizzard needs these people to have goals, since they make up the majority of the playerbase. And they certainly deserve appropriate goals and appropriate rewards from the game they bought and paid for. | ||

Here's a statement made by Blizzard: Blizzard Entertainment is not banning StarCraft II players just for using single-player cheats. There's been some confusion in the last couple of days about the suspensions and bans meted out to players caught cheating in StarCraft II. It's important to point out first, that many of the 3rd-party hacks and cheats developed for StarCraft II contain both single- and multiplayer functionality. In order to protect the integrity of multiplayer competition, we are actively detecting cheat programs used in multiplayer modes whether there are human opponents or not. That said, players who opt to use any type of 3rd party hacks do so at their own risk — there are already built-in cheat codes for StarCraft II single-player that can be used safely. Blizzard Entertainment has always taken cheating seriously and will continue to aggressively crackdown on players who cheat in our games. | ||

The guys just using the ladder mechanics. I don't see any reason to blame them for this.The rule where portraits are awarded for laddering. | ||

You know, honestly I would vote that any thread on TL talking about achievements just get locked on sight. This is supposed to be a forum for competitive skilled gamers and there is nothing competitive or skillful about achievement whoring. | ||

To comment about what they did, i dont see it as cheating, I myself sometimes lost due to connection and benefit from opponent quit, so yeah, if they want to do that I think just let them do since in case they want to prove that they are better must be in a game. | ||

I think people should show some gratitude instead of QQing over some people having nice portraits/avatars they themselves don't have. Be more hardcore and get them too. I believe you missed the whole point of the thread. It's not THAT they have the avatars, it's HOW they got them that's making people annoyed (for some reason). Stop trolling. | ||

Whenever they match someone else, they autolose so they get a really really low MMR. | ||

If the connection between players is not direct, then I don't know how one could do it without modifying SC2. | ||

The morality of doing such a thing can be brought into question, but calling it cheating is just delusional. It's only pixels. | ||
