idk why you people are complaining about smurfs.... even though people hate when other people smurf you gotta keep in mind you have the option to do the same thing.
smurfing i feel is a gosu's way to expiriment new strats without having to worry about their "reputation", to vanish from everyones watchful gaze and be less stressed.
you've gotta learn to tolerate the smurfing and BM of SC i feel. its what makes sc and sc players what it is today.
"This is SC, if you can't handle the shit talking, then go play chess" -dontblink Just because something was in Starcraft doesn't automatically make it good. A competitive ladder system shouldn't match up pros against newbs, period. If a gosu wants to experiment strats, he can do it in custom and non-ranked games. Most Korean pros already do this, so I fail to see how smurfing benefits them. I admit it can be fun to crush a newbie every once in a while, but those moments should only happen in non-ranked games. Starcraft 2 is supposed to be the "ultimate, competitive strategy game". There's nothing competitive about pros breaking newbies apart for the fun of it.
I like playing vs people better than me : <

I hope it has a good built in voice chat so I don't have to pay for my vent server.

iccup has a very good system imho.
Bnet2 could emulate that plus have additional controls in the game lobby, such as select points range for opponents to be accepted in, ban lists, aftergame screens should have choice to add opponent to banned list if desired, also feedback could be taken in account.
Gosu vs noobs situation is unavoidable and does not present that big of a problem.
And with the release of SC2 there will be enough noobs to play noob to noob without being hammered by gosus all the time.
Perhaps an option would be to enable CD-key discrimination to join your game, this way that person you got beaten by wont be able to smurf you anymore.

Lol I raelly dont think filtering noobs and separating gamer to gamer is a problem.
It's not a problem in SC1 B.net.
How often do good people play with complete noobs to stomp them? That's boring. People on SC want to play with people on their level.
With the APM suggestion on the first post lol. There's the problem of hours played and high APM doesn't make a good player. I know players who has over 10,000 games played with a 170+ APM who still suck.
I really think filtering players based on skills is something that should not be implemented. It's hard to do and it would be buggy.
Noobs wouldn't want to join decent player games. And decent players don't want noobs in their games. If it ends up like that, I'm sure the only way to solve that is to F10-Q-Q

Players being matched with opponents better than themselves is the biggest contributing reason why new RTS players do not play multiplayer.
People do not like playing games that make them feel unskillful, stupid, or intimidated. RTS games' multiplayer suffers greatly for this reason.

why not just implement an iccup style ladder system?

I just want to suggest few ideas myself for Battle.net v2.0
1) Able to join multiple chat rooms and being able to toggle between them instantly (similar to irc), and It would be great if the rooms are still able run in background even if you are in a game.
2) Along with the four usual servers / realms (ie. useast/useast/asia/europe), blizzard should make one central server which acts as an a hub.
*All the battle.net features (chat rooms, friend list functions, advertisement, clan functions and etc) could be hosted on this central server excluding games which should be hosted on there respected realms.
Benefits:
1)This would allow bandwidth of the sub realms (useast, etc) to be used only for gaming and this would decrease latency.
2)This would allow all the players connected to starcraft2 to communicate in 1 central hub, meaning a bigger and better community which is not divided by four usual realms.

In Company of Heroes you register your CD key to your account. You can have up to like 5 names on that account, your highest record is taken into account whilst finding an automatch game. Pretty effective against smurfing but makes it hard to start a new race...

it'll be nice if they have bnet 2.0 that can be ran like a regular client.. kind of similar to steam, so you can always see which of your friends are playing and who is available to play no matter what.

Ouch, thats nasty. If I play mainly Terran I wan't the matchmaker to put me up against lower skill players if I play Zerg, or not rank me at all. the difference in my skill between races is huge.

Perhaps Blizzard should separate rank based on race, so that way a single player can have three separate ranks and not have to worry about one ranking screwing up matchmaking on another.

dunno i just tried and tried. There are 4 relevant links in that long list.
One is a place where all of them are linked, and 3 are for each section of battle.net 2.0 (rumours, facts and something else) When you open one of them click on the "battle.net 2.0" picture. I did that in all 4 links until i got something lol

I wouldn't mind paying for an offical channel bot to manage clan channel. The bot alone could be a cheap yearly subscription base.
