LOL, I messaged him online on why he's doing this, and he replied that his gf got mad. Apparently, she logged on his account and lose a bunch of games on purpose cause she was pissed that he played to much sc



Whether that's true or not it's still pretty hilarious. An entire thread about the flaws and intricacies of MMR and leagues can be reduced to a woman scorned.


I would have posted a screenshot if i print screened it :/, I basically told him that I thought it was better if he was to be more committed to his gf instead of continuously trying to restore his mmr points. He replied that he should be doing that probably but continued to ladder regardless >_>
Lol pvz

Yes, you can. Blizzard said it's a bannable offense.

Saying and doing are two completely different things. Has anyone ever heard of someone being banned for losing on purpose? Do you know how many people they would have to ban for this once they started? Easily in the thousands, if not tens of thousands, and those are thousands of potential customers who won't be buying the SC2 expansions if you ban them.

Like most of their policies, they've only made it in case they need it. They have no intention of ever banning someone for smurfing. They just clearly stated the rule so that on the off chance they do need to ban someone for it they can say "you know the rules."

Obviously the guy is a punk.

Not because of some gay rank, but because he purposefully loses so that he can win against bad players.

HAHAHA! They're so bad! It's funny!

Yeah because I didn't pay for the game too, assholes. No I don't want a legit match, I either want a free win or a stomping by a grandmaster. That's why I spent $60 on this thing.

You know what would be hilarious? To have the Pittsburgh Steelers play against pee-wee football teams. But it's ok because we'll just have them forfeit half the games! So the kids can either get owned or they can just not play. That sounds fun as hell!

This guy should be banned...

P.S. Blizzard policy forbids what I do, but honestly there's no way they can detect/stop me for what I do. I mean, they could technically implement a detection algorithm where a player losing ~15 games in under 0:02 seconds in a row would result in warnings/bans, but if it gets to that point I'd just win 1-5 games, then quit another 1-5 games so my MMR would still stay far below my skill level and enable me to win 99% of the games that I do play and thus avoid the detection algorithm.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ saving this here because I use it, don't know how to make it, and don't know it's name

Why would you post the guy's picture too? It's completely irrelevant and an invasion of privacy.

The picture is not of Buki, it's of the OP's friend "Prof. Oak", to my understanding.
