For me, my P >> Z >> T. When I played random for an extensive time I could tell what race I was going to get by the favored system; it would say my opponent was slightly favored whenever I got Toss and that I was slightly favored whenever I got Terran. | ||

I don't think that a separate MMR rating for a random player is necessary. Instead, whatever race you are randomly assigned, you will play with the MMR rating that you have established with that race. For example, with the previously mentioned Grandmaster Protoss, if he decides to play random, he will face very challenging players if he lands Protoss, and much easier players if he lands Zerg. This system ensures that a random player won't demolish his opponent if he lands his strong race (which the opposite is happening right now, where he gets demolished if he lands his weak race. Neither is ideal). Overall, the system ensures fair matches for both players. Finally, although an account may have 3 MMR ratings, I don't believe that an account should be in 3 different leagues because otherwise, I think it would start to get too complicated. Instead, an account's league should only be associated with that account's highest MMR rating. Furthermore, a player would not be able to gain or lose points unless they are playing their highest MMR race. In our Grandmaster Protoss example, when he plays Zerg, he's still seen as being in Grandmaster league. However, his diamond league opponent needn't worry since matches are determined by MMR. If our GM Protoss wins, he doesn't gain any points, but his opponent still loses points (if he's playing his highest MMR race that is). Conversely, if the GM Protoss loses, he doesn't lose any points, but his opponent still gains points. Both players' MMR ratings for their races played will change, however. If I were to revamp the current system to incorporate multiple ranks for races, this is how I would do it. It seems relatively simple (just 2 more numbers to track per account), works behind the scenes so players wouldn't notice it, and all players are guaranteed to face opponents of equal skill regardless of the race chosen. There may be problems with this idea that I haven't thought of, but I believe it is a solid concept that could improve the matchmaking of Starcraft 2. | ||

I don't think the ladder system works that way. It doesn't take the mmr of the race you are going to get and place and opponent against you. Random is counted as a race by itself. | ||

1v1 population isn't growing as time goes by if you guys have noticed and there is no need in dividing the players into more accounts so that the ladder may have a lot more idle accounts just because people take this game sometimes a bit too serious. Just practice on your off races and get back to the ladder. | ||

Buying another account isn't that expensive (at least not according to me) and it completly removes any ladder fear etc. You can name it something stupid, not add friends on it, and just fool around. Well that's what I did and it worked out great. If you do not have the money for it for some reason. I am sure that doing some work instead of complaining here would solve that to  | ||
