You're stuck in platinum and bad with your new race. You may be set up against similar people (those with low MMRs but oddly high leagues) but have no idea if you keep leaving the game. Or just keep leaving. That'll eventually work too. | ||

My issue is actually the opposite; if I have a bad day and go 2-18 over a few days, I end up playing against high gold players that I can beat simply by a-moving my larger army against them for a week. Winning games like that is simply no fun, and doesn't to anything to help me improve as a player. | ||

Than i tried it on ladder, despite a lost a lot, whenever i lost i watched the replay and learned from that. You learn more from playing higher level of people than lower level of people. | ||

Has anyone have personal experience being promoted or demoted in the last couple of days? If it's true that it's not bugged, we should be able to debunk it pretty quickly. And if it is true, maybe we can find out exactly when the bug first appeared. | ||

Also, just find a friend to work out some build orders, go play some custom games (Shatter temple or Xel Naga are pretty popular), you usually get a range of players from Silver-Diamond on there anyway. It's not like all of a sudden being Gold will allow you to play your race on even footing. You already have plat/diamond level mechanics, just spend a few days getting used to the race and learn a couple build orders, it's not that hard to change races if you're not a competitive level. | ||

If the skill differential is too large then you can only look at your replay and say, "well, I lost because he did absolutely everything better than me." When reviewing a replay, a gold player who plays another gold player can see what he did wrong and what he should do better next time. A gold player who runs into Idra and gets roflstomped into the ground will learn little to nothing. It's funny, because winning or losing has very little to do with improvement. You can still look at a replay to see how you played, no matter how good or bad your opponent is. The fact that people worry so much about winning or losing in these lower leagues is probably one of the reasons why they're actually still stuck there. Improving for the sake of improving is just vastly superior to improving to win. In fact, he should aim to play against the best possible players, and see how long he lasts and what he did wrong. Not base your play against bad players who does everything wrong. Nothing is gained from that. Ways you can learn how to properly learn in this game is to only focusing on few aspects at the time. For example: on constant production of workers for 10 games in a row and avoiding supply blocks. Never watch your army, never micro. It wont win you games at first, but you can be certain it will help you develop your play vastly more then microing 5 marauders vs a couple zealots and a couple stalkers. Make goals and reach your goals, no matter what opponent you're playing. Demoting is just selfdestructive. | ||

Is it to say to yourself that you lost on purpose so these games "don't count" or something? No, he just doesn't want to get his face kicked in repeatedly for 25 straight games. That's Fing demoralizing. Better to start from a low place and move up rather than start from a high place and fall down | ||
