I am still stucked in bronze for like months now,, and i am only playing against silver, gold, and sometimes even plat for weeks now and i am winning like 75% of these matches but i am not promoting.. the last 2 weeks i have played like 50 matches and against 4-5 bronze players, the others are all silver or higher skilled players, but i am not getting promoted no matter how much of these matches i am winning, for example: yesterday i played 8 matches and won them all,, only 1 bronze player. but still not getting promoted. do anybody knows what i am doing wrong?? This REALLY pisses me off. grtz Rick "Cheprus" van Gils | ||

You're not doing anything wrong. Sometimes people just have rotten luck and basically, you have to wait for a new division to open. The best advice I can give is to keep playing and winning. Every day if you can. As long as you have a win every day the system should be trying to place you in a higher division. But it's barely uncommon to read what you're saying. The only thing I can really do is link you the Leagues and Ladder guide which I'm sure you've read and wish you the best of luck. Keep on winning, it doesn't matter what stupid icon is next to your rank as long as you know you've won 10 straight. Good luck. | ||

I don't know if someone else proposed it before, i just thought of it, and if someone already mentionned the idea, then great. Could it work with a matching APM ? Are some people already using it ? Just wondering if this is a realistic idea. | ||

Infestors and ghost have become great counters to the current protoss army composition. and with nerfing on protoss high templar it can no longer compete with its other race counter parts. It just no longer seems to be that the protoss is that all mighty powerful race it use to be. Do you agree that blizzard should buff the protoss? if not can someone give me a way to counter them? Protoss army is still strong, that is not the problem right now. Problem is that you don't have a good harass unit. You could mass pheonix, you can invest in DT, but you don't have marine drop, blue flame drop, banshee nor baneling drop nor mass mutas efficiency. That means it is easy to feel somewhat safe against you. You best harass is possible walking zealots into mineral lines u.u Also, your macro mechanic (chrono) just fail. Zerg has the queen, that is actually worth one more hatchery, it's awesome. Terrans have mules AND scan. Protoss can make units/tech faster, but then it becomes so standard that all it does is more nerfs to you. Chrono needs to work with warping buildings and to increase the regen of energy of units and maybe increase their attack speed as well. Then you will have options that are interesting. They could actually nerf chrono to buff some things on protoss and it could probably be benefitial to protoss. But army power isn't the problem, maybe Terran army power is a problem? EMP, marauder with stim, I don't know, I only play zerg so PvZ, but I still think protoss can be fixed with a better macro mechanic + a really good harass unit (reaver??). That is only my opinion, as a zerg. ZvP is imbalanced, but you can still hide a tech and kill me by surprise, that means you still wins sometimes (Losira just lost to 4 gate and is now in UP & Down, isn't he? I didn't watch it, I just heard). So you can still win with the nerfed "4 gate", 4 gate is still strong, problem is that if we know you are doing whatever, we can counter, And your sneaky abilities (DT) aren't strong enough to make us that worried  Yeah, protoss needs help IMO, but buffing colossus, high templar etc won't help with the actual problem, army power isn't the problem >.> Sorry for my terrible english u.u | ||

But did any of you notice that right now in the GSL Code S the most in the Round of 16 are Terrans. But I don't think that Terran is imbalanced. I just think that one year ago many Pro Player switchs to SC2 and at this time Terran was simply Imbalance. Right now they don't wantto switch races. Thats why there are so many korean Pro Terrans. What do you think about that? Do you think its a Problem? | ||

However i have to disagree with you in terms of army power, as each race has its own traits like zerg massing , or terran d fence and long life, the protoss falls under the category of having higher power base army, so in idea a max 200 protoss should be stronger than a max zerg or terran. However the protoss army still does not truly shine till they get those higher teir units like col temps , there gateways units are relativity weak when compared to those of the zerg and terran Also i have to complain that the ghost and infestor either have to be nerffed or that the templar regain its kadarian amulet. What i feel most people didn't realize is that the ghost and infestor fungle growth and EMP are equal to the templars storm, its just that not until recently have they been used, while protoss have been using templars before them. As for the harass unit, i feel that its more of a equalizer, the more harass a race has, it takes away from the other parts, vise versa, so the fact that the protoss has relativley no harass should be said that there army should be stronger, or that production be better. the zerg and terran both have harass units, ( thou i still believe zerg to have the best if used correctly) while there armies are now relativly equal to a protoss, if not more powerful. the main reason i feel on the protoss nerfs are for helping the lower levels of SC 2 out. where most people would just sit on 2 base or 3 base, get 200 200 and push, while then the protoss army would win. but in higher tier games while more is happening it won't be as easy to get 200 200, plus thing of micro of storms and kill the col first are things that don't happen at the lower teirs, but at higher teirs they do. i believe that they should either nerf ghost and infestor, or buff the standard gateway unit | ||

And warp prisms are the most underrated uber unit in the game. As a zerg player I'm terrified that one day Protoss will learn that they can win late games with the uber power of warping in 9 chargelots and a sentry, killing a hive+all tech and forcefielding the ramp so I can only respond with certain units. Feedback is still fucking amazing,, storm is still OP, Colo/voidray is still nearly unbeatable and if you want a better harass unit than DTs then I think you're just saying the grass is greener on the other side. | ||
