But in all seriousness, playing on a ladder and playing with a practice partner are two completely different experiences. It may be true that while practicing with a partner, you may face different styles or patterns than if you played on ladder. Also, playing on ladder is dependent on waiting for other people / scheduling - while you can play on ladder at any time. | ||

With 2 accounts I wont have to lose 20 games in a row with an offrace before I start winning again. Then the process repeat itself when I switch races again. | ||

The reason a lot of people want multiple accounts is so that they can try new builds, play off races, and practice various matchups without tanking their ladder account. In bw you could have as many accounts as you wanted, and that was great. The only reason this system wasn't carried over is to force people to buy additional copies of SC2 just for additional practice accounts - and this is ridiculous money grabbing from Activision Blizzard. This (along with no lan and no cross region play) are the three biggest problems with SC2 right now IMO. I hope to god they will fix all of them, starting with this one. things have changed since then, play customs or buy a second account if you want the luxuries of having 2 accounts. | ||

I can't believe people can get away with such flawed logic like this and not get banned (I'm obviously exaggerating but you get the point). You know what... I agree. There is a negative side to having multiple accounts so we shouldn't have it. While we're on the topic, causing everyone to go to a public school leads to some bullying; that's a bad thing so we shouldn't have it. Driving a car leads to car accidents, we should walk everywhere. Just kidding, walking also leads to tripping and getting injured, let's not allow that. Don't even get me started on food, people choke and die on that stuff... let's ban it. You can't seriously think dismissing something because of one negative aspect (which applies to significantly less people than the amount of people the good aspect affects) is a sound argument. You know, I may have honestly just shrugged it off because I see this kind of stupidity all the time, but saying "This discussion should really end here...." sealed the deal. You were basically saying "Come on guys... this is a no brainer, I am clearly right" with such terrible logic. By the way, I am not saying having multiple accounts NEEDS to be implemented and it is nothing but good, but I definitely won't say "please, it clearly benefits more people... this discussion is over." You're a joke. | ||

I dont like wasting my time off racing in customs and either noob stomping and getting thwomped. This is why having a second ladder account would be great. besides, the ladder system puts you at a reasonable skill level quick enough so you arent going to have 800 million smurf account noob stomping in bronze. | ||

However, a lot of people will abuse this (abuse is a relative term here). By abuse, I mean they will use one of their accounts to try "new builds" and by new I mean absolutely terrible. If you make it easy for people to have another account and troll the ladder with their straight tech to mothership builds, it sort of lowers the integrity of the ladder (IMO). No matter what level of ladder you're playing at now, it's a pretty safe assumption that the other guy is at least trying to win. Given a second account, I don't think you can say that. I'm sure a ton of people will purposely lower than second account to bronze so they can do stupid things and still steamroll people. On the road to getting down to bronze, they'll probably promote 8 kids to silver that didn't earn it. | ||

I know most of this prolly doesn't mean much, but one of the cheif complaints is, people will test new builds while noob bashing. Well there isnt much noob bashing going on in 15 games so I really don't see this as being a problem at all. I hope blizzard impliments this, it would be good for the game and get some people who burn out easy a chance at other races and to enjoy starcraft to the fullest. | ||

You're a joke. Im stating this as a fact like hitler and the holocaust. we've seen this happen, giving people multiple faces on the INTERNET often than not creates room for negativity. It is a fact more or less. You compared my logic with walking. How stupid can you be? You comparing a fraction of winning a lottery vs a fraction of you seeing a troll on the internet. Dont come here blatantly trying to insult my logic if you dont have one yourself. | ||
