Anyways, I think you're definitely higher than platinum. I watched your replay and your macro is at par with other diamond protosses I've met. Now stop losing games intentionally and play. I'm sure you will catch up with other diamond players pretty fast. | ||

Indeed off topic but I apologies for that one. I hate all ins, especially when I see them comming from the start and still can't hold them =[ Just feels really stupid to me. | ||

The other thing is to KEEP playing and trying to win, eventually your MMR will change and pit you up with opponents of similar skill. It doesn't matter what league you are in, only your MMR as that decides who you play, not your rank or league. | ||

i personally feel the opposite a few months ago i was diamond since the game came out and did a solid 51% win over 400 games diamond bracket the entire time. i played a friend of mine who plays wow and was a masters player, i lost 0-2 to him during the peak of people saying pvz was imbalanced and it made me reevaluate my play in a way i would have NEVER done vs lower players (because my sloppy fun macro style play worked in diamond when i didint loose to 1 base all ins). 1 week later i won 12 games in a row and got promoted to masters i also have a rl friend i play with, he played alone on his acc for a while and did 95% 1 base all ins. i constantly told him what was wrong with his strats but they worked against what seemed to be like really bad players so he kept it up for months. eventually wed both play his account trading off at my house and the account got worked up to high diamond (where you play masters sometimes) and his 1 base strats went from like 55% win to 20% win. after that i coached him on some macro strats and his skill level doubled. he improved even more from this in 1 month than the previous 6 months combined. you might as well play the computer if you want to demote yourself below platinum or your trading getting better at this game for having fun stomping noobs. | ||

Blaming the game when you lose is a sign of immaturity. Though I agree, that all-in is extremely strong even when the opponent knows how to react, that's why I use it sometimes, especially when people accuse me of being a liquid faker. ;P You can unblock me and we can practice if you want. | ||

You will play against bad enemies before you will be demoted. If you lost 40 games in a row you should play against gold level players. | ||

They are all bronze but they are all portrait farmer masters. | ||

I took you off ignore about 3 minutes after ;p Also, my attitude isn't usually like that, it is the same as most players with terran ;p Though I know it was my fault and it was my lack of experience, but that doesn't take away that it is so fustrating. | ||

Yeah I understand that. It's normal to be angry, but it tells a lot about a person how they vent their anger. By the way, I'm curious why do you have recent wins in your match history that have lasted less than 3 minutes? Looking at your build order, you only make 1 probe and your opponents make no workers at all. What is that all about? | ||

His MMR is so low hes fighting portrait farmers, meaning when he gets demoted hes going down to bronze. | ||

I've been trying to get into masters on my 2nd account for over 150 games now, constantly playing against 800+ masters, win rate is around 60%, yet I just keep getting points in diamond, almost #1 in the world in diamond league  | ||

Rather than intentionally losing 100 games to practice against bad players, just go through the practice partner thread and find ones at the level you want. That way, once you feel comfortable with Protoss, you don't need to rework yourself through the ladder. Customs are your friends. | ||

Dude, just take a break from SC2 for a few days, even a week. You seem like you're on a bad passive tilt... | ||
