As for multiple accounts as a way to supress ladder fear; I'm never a proponent of protecting people from themselves, and I firmly believe that in all cases where you do such a thing, the person you're hoping to protect ends up more hurt than they would be otherwise. Fear alone should never be a legitimate reason to not do something. Take, for example, someone who has discovered they like swimming, but is afraid of water. Do you start looking for pools without water that they can pretend to swim in, or do you help them / tell them to get over their fear of water so they can do what they enjoy? | ||

The changes would affect neither of your concerns. If anything, they would SHORTEN queue times and have LESS recurring opponents due to more people playing. | ||

Like in order for it to matter you probably should be above gold so 60% of the population wouldn't care too much (they would just offrace and take the losses). Of the remaining 40%, they would have to actually give a shit about offracing AND wouldn't be willing to pony up the dough for another account. Plus, that doesn't include the people that are perfectly willing to simply practice with team/custom games until they get used the mechanics. I mean, from blizzard's perspective, is it worth it? | ||

So who cares what rank you are. If you switch races and suck for a little while you'll start playing opponents who match your level with that race and then as you get better with the mechanics you already have you'll rank back up to where you were. Stop caring so much what other people think and enjoy the game and meeting new challenges, please. | ||

So if you're Platinum 400 points Zerg, Masters 1200 Terran and Silver 900 Protoss then you'll be classified as a Masters 1200 Terran on your profile, with an annotation on there somewhere as to your other race levels. Or even allow selection of the one you want to be placed in the actual league tables with. | ||

Besides; It'd only be allowed to happen because the NA ladder isn't competitive enough. And because deezer/lone should have been banned ages ago. | ||

Just keep stats independently for each race individually with separate MMR ratings and calculate points separately (with an independent bonus pool per race). On a person's profile showcase their highest league rank and have the others as annotations somewhere. So if you're Platinum 400 points Zerg, Masters 1200 Terran and Silver 900 Protoss then you'll be classified as a Masters 1200 Terran on your profile, with an annotation on there somewhere as to your other race levels. Or even allow selection of the one you want to be placed in the actual league tables with. This would never happen. If you have the mechanics to be master with any race, you´ll be master with all the others. You can be a 800 Master Protoss, a 1000 Master Terran and a 1200 Master Zerg. | ||
