I do think you might be overly concerned about BM/GM based on your posts. Honestly, it is not a big deal at all whether you are BM, GM or neither. I never understood people who were super offended by BM, personally. | ||

Lost to some cheezer toss 5.1k barcode, didnt gg, he start spamming me in private, they feel so pro bc they use barcodes.. in general I find SC2 players are probably more GM than BW players on average but there are also a lot more people who like to start messaging you in private to gloat about their win (usually after cannon rushing lol). It's more amusing than anything. | ||

Whatever advantage they are getting is pretty small and even smaller if you play standard. There are plenty of more annoying things like random and players who have no hope of winning but that is just my opinion. I do think you might be overly concerned about BM/GM based on your posts.

I don t get, what s the problem with random players? you have a 2/3 chance to get their weak race, so you should be at an advantage most of the time. | ||

It won't be the usual grand master... Anyway, thanks to playing random and having to learn 6 matchups, also if you say hi, what race do you play - i answer it... what's wrong with randoms? Sure, my Terran brings my diamond ass very down so I don't have issues with winning with other races, but still... | ||

Most random players will just all in you. Also when you go random they're force to scout which people also hate doing because every map is a 2 player map. The new wave of starcraft players want it easy, they don't want to actually have to think to play the game, I would explain why a certain race struggles more so against random but I would probably get banned for it despite being a random player myself. I think I can say that building placement matters depending on what race your opponent is without it being considered balance whining. When you send out a 'harvester' early to scout it throws off the entire build slightly and people don't like to do that. Hopefully one of the 43 mods here doesn't consider this balance whine. | ||

They are human so I guess you should probably GG if you lose vs them, moar GG moar skill, even vs barcode =P In theory in lower leagues barcodes don't matter. PRactically - it depends. I played a guy name SERRAL who just proxied banshees every game. Has he been a barcode, I wouldn't ever got those sweet free wins Although I admit that had he named himself in a more generic fashion I wouldn't have remeber that this easily xDI don't like it just for the reason it doesn't matter but if I play 3 barcodes in a row who are terrans and have the same portrait i have no idea whether I play 1 player, 2 players or 3 players while they know if the game repeats. | ||

Random players are the scum of the earth :p In all seriousness I’d like an option for people to play ‘revealed random’, would be good for players who want to queue and experiment with all races, but without the advantage of the unknown that random confers. I wouldn’t BM random players but I do hate playing them given how specific openers are against different races and you have to make certain decisions blind. | ||

It helps maintain your inner locus of control, and keeps you from blaming external factors. | ||

Although if I could turn off the chat I would. | ||
