..until Blizzard fixes their fucking matchmaking system. Seriously, how the hell is a random diamond and platinum/gold team supposed to be an arranged double diamond team. Not only are all my partners not diamond, but they fucking suck, don't talk at all, and/or don't listen to me. And that's not even the best part! Every match I'm always favored and my partners never cease to let me down. Furthermore, the matches that do say the enemy is favored are broke as fuck because after I win on the score screen it says I was favored and I gain 5 points. It's so stupid how I have to win 4-5 matches just to make up for 1 loss.
In the past two days I've went from 1350 points (top 10 according to SC2Ranks.com) to 1075 points. Yes, there's some matches that were probably my fault, but seriously.. who the hell let so many newbs into diamond? I get partners that go 2 assimilators before cybernetics core, go 2 barracks and try and pump the whole match from them only, or go mutalisks against double terrans.

Point inflation man. There are plenty of reasons not to play SC2 now, however.

Wait so, you're playing RANDOM teams, and you're complaining about your partners sucking?
I'll agree that matching arranged and random teams together is shit, but whoever goes into random team games thinking that strong organization, teamwork, and quality players are all going to coexist is foolish.
If it bothers you this badly, just don't play random teams? D=

Some of the people could be first-timers doing their placement matches?

Yeah I'd just stick to the 1v1, I avoid MM unless it's with a friend, even then I don't get the same experience as a nice long 1v1! Cheese Ahoy ![](/mirror/smilies/puh2.gif)
Chillout and play some SP, I get frustrated sometimes but it's really unavoidable in the course of everyone's play.

Some super highskilled (TOP 10 ACCORDING TO SC2RANKS.COM) randomteamer complains about his teammates... never seem that before.

I think you need to game with a friend. The best time I had with SC2 was in beta with Plexa.

We are sure are seeing a lot of these type of threads recently.
|
Mmh, this really sounds like a bug. Did only occur recently after the new patch or server patch (mainly taking place on wednesdays)? I can understand how this sucks for you, but I guess I would really look for good partners. Maybe u simply try to message the 10-20 other top 10 guys?
|
Okay so leave then? And quietly comeback in less than 7 days. Your not quitting, your just going to find something else to waste time on sc2 with.

Must be the tank nerf, who knows - I'm finding 4 gates at least easier to play against

Well said. If you really want to 2v2 then grab a friend, or partner with someone you had good chemistry with while playing. I was in the same boat when I did random 2v2s in my placement matches during beta.

ya, if you only play sc2 for "random" 2v2 teams, then it isn't very surprising that you want to quit
you can't take RT seriously and not expect to get frustrated beyond belief

I have the same problem. Blizzard keeps matching me with people who don't even speak English.

Before they "fixed" matchmaking the wait was much much longer but teammates were at least around the same skill level. Generally speaking the better team won their games and most of the time if the other team was an AT they were favored. To lower wait times they simply made it so every game is a gamble on who gets the retard on their team or if you're fighting an arranged team. To make it worse, somehow your point gain and loss is heavily biased by your own rating ignoring who you've got on your team so you have to maintain a >75% win rate to stay even.
Ya I'm staying away from 4v4 random now.
Edit: I was #1 4v4 random for almost a month before the change. Now to have any chance at top 10 you have to be going in with 3 people and hope your 4th isn't a dumbass.

RT right now is pretty bad, it's basicly the same as ranked ffa.
I play 3v3 with 2 friends for fun(pretty top diamond for 3v3 lol), and when we que we sometimes get gold players mixed with 1 RT diamond.
edit: i'd like to note that before the change in that patch to matchmaking, we would have 45 minute ques and not play anyone.... so i don't know what is worse.

play with friends or join a clan, the social aspect is what always makes the game for me. I have not ever random 2v2ed and when i 2v2 its usually with a good internet bud and we are joking and having fun the entire time, but of course if your not having fun with a game do not play it. Starcraft is not your job and the day you stop having fun is the day you really shouldn't be playing it.
good luck to yah man

I've barely played any Starcraft 2. Not only am I too busy with college stuff....
But it got boring after a while. >.> Especially since my computer sucks ass and I lag every time I play. :D
