Great staff over at blizzard, can't even talk between themselves apparently. maybe you should try calling the correct department, or directing your inquiry to the correct department rather than calling a low level employee in the wrong department who could give a shit about the problem. | ||

Blizzard doesn't even NEED to make three different ratings, they just need to give you X number of placement matches when you race switch and start from there. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=315788 I agree completely that the ladder system is designed without any intelligent decision making. Blizzard truly has their heads so far up their own asses that they can't see anything but the shit they produce. If they'd simply take two seconds to look at the community they'd have fixed up so much of this game that should've been taken care of in Beta. | ||

The main time this problem is an issue is a Masters player of Race X who wants to switch to race Y. Below masters, the difference in skill can be made up fairly quickly on a new race and shouldn't hurt your rating too much. Can't really agree with this. Although since I've been in masters I can't really tell the difference between a silver and a platinum level player, the differences are still there. | ||

Blizzard just simply doesn't care what you want, they like having the model that if you want a separate ladder ranking you need to buy the game again. Blizzard has little to no interest in catering to communities needs in battlenet. I usually wouldn't be so pessimistic on the matter but this has been talked to death in a billion threads. Blizzard just simply isn't going to do it. | ||

Otherwise, yeah I'd agree that it would be nice to have 3 separate ratings. | ||

BUT Blizzard is a "for profit" company so it's not all that unreasonable to assume that they will not make any changes that would remove the chance for customers to buy more than one copy of the game. | ||

In season 3, I switched from Protoss (master) to Terran. I practised in custom games, and occasionally played on my a ladder account to highlight significant weaknesses in my play. After 2 weeks or so, I was once again at a master level, and was able to play on my account again. | ||

I personally didn't have issues on ladder with race switching. As your mmr falls at light speed or goes up at light speed if you lose win to often. Allowing people to reset their ladder ranking means alot of roflstomping, so i prefer this setup denying this. But yeah if you want to get their attention one email every weak, if multiple people do it, they might discuss it. But the result will be, allowing any resets in the ladder rank would hurt the lower leagues as high masters would plow through them regularly. But you could point out the issue that people leave games instantly to get back into bronze, which is also an issue. But even on masterlevel i had no problem doing a cold switch back to all 3 (not random)races after i played zerg for a longer period for study reason. Winrate went down to 40 for around 10 games. So just try it, playing against better people helps your play with a new race. Coming back should also be no issue as you can slowly get back into the race, playing against weaker opponents. | ||

The system demotes you....because it is placing you in the proper league for your skill level. You said it yourself, "...but your skill has dropped leagues..." Not sure the problem you see here. I mean that the ladder system should encourage activity and punish heavily for inactivity. For example your league placement will reset if you have played less than 60 games on the season so people would automatically get to the league they deserve be in which also means that if they practise hard they will be rewarded with a promote (although it might be a promote to a lower league he originally was in, but I still think that would feel more rewarding than getting demoted for practising). | ||

Oh no the arbitrary divisions, seriously who cares? The pros of separate rankings far outweigh the cons. The real solution is allowing more than one account on the same license but that is a pipe dream. | ||

The mechanics you build transfer over from race to race. I was diamond (pre-Masters era) when I made the switch to Random, and I wasn't flailing to learn Zerg and Terran. When I finally learned the other two races, it actually helped improve my overall game by a large margin. Zerg improved my macro with the other two races. Terran improved my micro and unit control, overall. | ||
