I think we should be able to 1v1 with 3-4 different leagues for other races but no more. THis would also benefit people who have Protoss very high but want tot ry different strategeis out on another account. I know people will say about smurfing etc but you can only smurf for so long? And as long as they dont let you have unlimited accounts like wc3 and sc1 it shouldnt be a problem. | ||

Also, finding ranked matches for randoms may be weird. I know I'm speaking for the minority here, but say my Terran is Diamond, but my Toss is Gold. If i sign up as random, how do you find an opponent for me? I love the idea, but there are problems with it in practice | ||

If i want to play freely as in any other normal game, in sc2 i would have to buy 1 acc for each continent x 4, for each race. I'm currently aware that there's a NA, EU, SEA, KOR, Chinese; battlegroup. If i would want to play any race or everywhere i wanted, i would then have to buy 20 accounts. That sucks.. | ||

The OP is right if he discusses multiple 1v1 ladders where all are ranked.

If you get a win you may be wanted to have this count to your serious ladder points. In the end, the real ladder would be used less, making them less relevant, too, due to the smaller sample size. Personally, I would like to see 2 1v1 rankings (in my case: 1 main, 1 fun). However I would like to get more statistics: Race win ratios compared to overall win ratio, map win ratios and so on. On the other hand, many guys would misuse the data because they overrate the value of statistics based on a very small sample size. | ||

Now you may say that just play and learn, but there is huge difference in playing someone who you may have 50% winratio and someone who you just outmacro and mass hydras against tanks. This is a bit ofcourse my fault because I've practiced a ton outside of ladder but it feels a lot work just to get MMR somewhere so it would be fun to play ladder. Sure it's maybe 20 6pool for me to go into masters but compared to log in/out 20 times to find ZvT diamond player and asking from TL channel... Yeah I will do it someday but this should be possible to avoid with custom games and seperate ladder for each race, so when I play offrace I don't get my MMR too low for no reason and when I switch to main race I roflstomp next 2 days. e: Ever had friends account for whatever reason and permission to play on it? Don't you think that feeling was awesome to have 2 account with seperate MMR? | ||

You know how annoying it is to take your MMR from platinium to master? It's legit games for days or 6pool alot. Why do you need to be in master at all points in time ? If you are below your true MMR then you should be winning a lot and having a blast on your way back. | ||

Edit: While I wouldn't see a problem with the MMR matched custom games, I really think this whole thing is a non-issue. Either play custom games or play ladder to be ranked. The ladder fearers are ridiculous. Ladder doesn't even matter unless you are in GM or something. If you get good enough you should care about entering tournaments. All the platinums and diamonds that are afraid to ladder because they will lose their rank are kind of ridiculous. I think in the near future there will be a lot of these type of people that stop playing all together. | ||

You can play any race you want! You are free to play custom games until you are satisfied with your skill with a particular race, although i recommend ladder only because custom games are usually played for 'fun' by most people. I personally switched from terran to zerg after a 4 month break and tanked 14 games in a row and got demoted from diamond to plat. This season i got back into diamond as zerg which is my only race. Point is; people should stop crying about separate ladders and just play on one account! Smurfing was a problem in starcraft and i'm glad blizzard has stopped this by having a 1 account per person policy. I'm not saying that blizzard's decision wasn't financially motivated, but the side effect of this change is that smurfing is prevented unless you buy extra accounts. I don't understand why people are worried about their e-peen ladder rating. In 20 years time when most of us are married, people will think... "why the hell was i such a noob worrying about playing ladder and getting crippling ladder fear when i was a kid" "why didn't i just press the quick match button and play as many games i wanted when sc2 was in it's prime so i could see what my actual skill level was instead of daydreaming of theorycrafting what my potential was" In short, GROW A PAIR! | ||

FFS completely misses the point - if you want to try something new, you WILL lose for a while...that's pretty much a fact; now if you could do that without losing your rank it would be way easier to experiment the current system discourages innovative play and encourages copying all-in-builds you've seen in replays; simple as that | ||

First of all, if you wanna practice a litle bit a new race, play custom games or against AI, there you ll learn basics mechanics of each race and basic builds ... stop being such a pussy ... or stop playing and we ll all thank for it we wont need to read such a strange topic ... So, if you drop leagues at our ladder rank, what ll happen? nothing you ar not a professional, you wont get any less money for that, you mom wont die. SO STOP COMPLAINING OR BEIN A AFRAID OF THE LADDER THIS IS A GAME, ITS MAKE TO BE FUN AND COMPETITIVE, IF YOU CANT HANDLE WITH THAT, GO PLAY DOLL! i mean, with dolls xD | ||

Having only 1 is a joke. I had to buy a new game to have a 1v1 random account, because i still wanted to be able to play with people my own level as terran on my regular account. Switching around would be silly =/. But then again I'm dumbfounded that their is no clan support and the likes. I fcking hate new B.net seriously, still play WC3 with friends just because the ''new'' create/join custom game features are so shitty. | ||
