Not like anyone here care, but for the record if you wonder why ""casual"" gamers are dropping this game, this is (yet) another reason.

same clan players (IsImba) are tagging separalty on 4v4 in order to end up on opposite team (4v4 queue is small) , and grief by teamkilling to achieve GM. Another peak achievement of sc2 community behavior.

And i do know you 1v1 tryharder do not care at all about team games, but each
""casual"" ( non 1v1 focused ) player that leave is still a loss for a decreasing community.

That said , i'm back to 1v1 and better team games

That sucks, sorry to hear this happens. I hope you reported this to Blizzard.

The term "match-fixing" has a different meaning to most people on this site (see Savior/Life), but pulling sad stupid stunts like this is still really annoying. Sorry to hear about it.
Assuming that this is the same IsImba that people like Strelok were on years ago they sank pretty low, they used to be a pretty legit team/clan.

This is absolutely against the ToS and Blizzard can and will ban them for it if they receive enough reports on it.

I haven't seen it myself, but I'm on NA and you haven't revealed what server this is on.

Send the replay to Blizz. Send every replay you've seen of it to Blizz. If we're lucky these idiots will get a fat ban like they deserve.

Ya that's shit, but with that said, does 4v4 ladders need to exist?

I never queue in 3v3-4v4, but would abolishing mmr for those format all togheter be better?
I imagine ranked must be pretty dead and not really a correct mesure of the player skills, maybe having a single mixed queue for 3v3 and 4v4 would be better.
With that said I that said I don't play in it so IDK.

3v3 and 4v4 are extremely different playmodes.

I've never met isIMBA players on ladder who didn't ruin the fun somehow either by doing shit like this, or just by being edgy douchebags spamming the chat with Nazi phrases and stuff like that. I just tend to leave the game now whenever I see that clan tag.

isIMBA is 95% toxic/bm/ruiners/abusers and other 5% are people who haven't been playing the game for past 2 years

One replay does not prove much. If you want Blizzard to do something, you should do more research on 4v4 match histories and try to prove the use of alt-accounts etc. to climb the team ladder.

Even throwing one game against a teammate should not get you banned imo.

It also seems like a very troublesome way to climb, needing some stellar coordination and several people online.

There is no GM in 4v4. Anyway I also don't think they are trying to climb the ladder, that would be quite difficult since you can't control which team you will end up with. Most probably just BM/trolling.

Seriously. 4v4 isn't competitive either. How do you even pop a queue in 4v4? Last time I tried, it took over 15 minutes.

It sounds like the only way these people were even getting queues were because the isImba people were queuing.

I wonder why 4v4 is so dead anyway, it can be fun when you dont have this sort of trolling going on.

This isn't constructive to the issue at all.

I don't play LotV much, as I didn't like the changes to the economy. I tend to enjoy team games over 1v1. Even when I come back for a few games, I have never had issues with wait times. (Last time was about a month ago). I tend to get to diamond whenever I play for any length of time, in any mode.

It is frustrating that Blizz has never done anything about people that teamkill in general. It is much more difficult to defend them than to do them. They haven't even bothered to address it in any fashion at all in SC2.

It was active enough on EU last i played. Not fast queue but maybe like 3 to 5 minutes, no big deal

I love team games myself, and if you are looking for some good pals to play team games with, don't hesitate to join up with TAW: https://taw.net/

I can't guarantee you won't ever play against IsImba again, but at least you will not have to play with IsImba.
