There's no other way to see where you are besides judging your own skill. Or you could play a custom with a bronze player, a silver player, a gold player, platinum player, etc. | ||

And if you're at the point where you're just trying out new builds and strategies and expect a moderate number of "bad" games working the kinks out, still use practice partners and customs for that, and when they're refined a little take them to the Practice League, and then use them on ladder when you think you're ready. | ||

No its not because you can only play Xel Naga or Shattered on customs because no one joins any other games... | ||

On the other hand, a player who is only playing Terran wouldn't lose anything by picking zerg or protoss because their zerg/protoss play is obviously not on the equal level as their main terran. They'd have no issue with playing in a lower league with their off-race. If I have to get into masters with each race even though I am a masters level player playing random, then it'd be such a chore. I'd like to sometimes just pick a race and ladder even though my main is random to test out a build or get better with one race. Taking out random for 1v1 ladder is ludicrus. Being a top random player is kind of a pride in itself. (don't worry, I ain't no cheesy newb). I don't think the dwindling 1v1 situation isn't a fault of the ladder system. It's just that the game is just getting stale and people are just getting tired of it. I've played over 500 games in short duration of 2 months or so during the summer and reached the highest ladder rank that I could get and then the game just got so stale. Also, I think having too much starcraft content is definitely not helping. If you want starcraft, you can just watch streams and tournaments and you don't even need to play the game. There's been research on effects of cyber sex on people and it showed that people having cyber sex had reduced or no need for actual physical sex because cyber sex was capable of completely replacing real sex (watched a documentary on it, you can prob google stuff about it if you're curious). Though it might not be the same thing, just watching SC can replace playing it, too imo. | ||

And people claim to off-race for fun. Custom games tend to have less crazy cheeses that no one likes to play against. | ||

What about matchmaking? In custom games you normally get someone nowhere near your rank. What if the unranked ladder matched you by your current mmr but didnt move it? I personally would prefer the ladder to be like it was in BW but unranked ladder does have a lot of potential | ||

A lot of people on ladder play with people who are much better/worse. | ||

Its not the same because in customes you cant pick who you play against  they are usualy no where near your skill level (either above or below) Its been a very rare day when i hit someone around my mmr on cust games | ||
