I'm a gold random player and I was matched up against some protoss from diamond. I randomed as T and lost, and later I checked his match history, he had around 25 losses each game lasting only 1-2 seconds, which means he left each one of those. Just curious, is that done in order to match up against lower players and get "free wins"? It sounds like a really stupid thing to do. | ||

Might sound stupid to you, but some people really want those portraits. | ||

If the game doesn't last a minute, there are no gains or losses in MMR and points. Even a worker rush lasts more than 1 minute. This would probably significantly hinder these individuals trying to game the system and no one else. | ||

For instance, if you regularly get beaten by player X, if you see him on the loading screen you could just quit and not lose any points. | ||

I hate playing against Y race...leave so I only have to play against something else. Or, I hate this map. BS map and then leave. | ||

First of all, if you want those wins, just go play and win, that's why you're so high ranked, because you're so good. Second, even when you get your wins back, you'll probably be lower because you were playing against low rated people at the time. Third, it's not a test of your own skill as you're playing against "lower" people. | ||

This would probably significantly hinder these individuals trying to game the system and no one else. I love this idea cause my computer seems a tendency to disconnect me while games are loading, so it would fix that problem too. | ||

in Wc3 you could Quit about 10 games in a row and play trash players and win 25+ in a row before any real change in player skill and the change is still minuscule so you could probably go higher than that I didn't because well its boring and defeats the purpose id rather try to go 25-0 than go 25-10. I really hope this doesn't work in sc2 I got sick of abusers who thought they were hot shit in Wc3 I don't need those BM kids to invade my SC2 :< | ||

The proposal is for games under a certain time limit (1 or 2 minutes) not be counted towards the achievements and meta-achievements that require ladder wins. Not that this has much of anything to do with the OP's problem. I highly doubt the guy was tanking his rating to get achievement credit. He was probably tanking his rating because he wanted to get a win streak on the way back up. Not everyone enjoys a fair fight. | ||

After losing those 10 games I bet it would only take like 6-8 games for the system to replace you to somewhere close of where you were before forfeiting those 10 games. | ||
