how do you guys know who you played, like their league and stuff? Don't you need to know their identifier to add to your friends to look up?

Right click there name on the stats screen and Add to friends then view their profiles that way

If it's true that they are not experimenting with ranked divisions then the universe is playing a massive joke.

If you look at the leagues you will clearly see the higher the division number, the tougher the opponents the players face in their last five matches. You will also see in general a higher division will have a considerably higher over all point value than the lower division.

Based on the limited information available I find it impossible to believe this is just simply coincidence. *Overall, the entire division taken in to account, the higher the division the better the players.

If ashes division (division 2) and my division (division 16) were to fight, where the top ranked played the top, second played the second, etc, it wouldn't even be a fight. The only wins division 16 would manage would be the luck wins.


Edit - In Kyr.Luoson division 38, the first place guy has 1435 points, in ashes, division 2, the top guy has 1828, and based on the last 5 matches the top guy in ashes division has faced WAY harder opponents. In fact the top guy in Kry.Luosons division would barely make the top 30 in ashes division, and thats assuming he played the same opponents he has played, and not harder ones. And its like that the whole way across the ladder. In every division, save for a few exceptions.

There is no fucking way in hell that the divisions are not ranked. If someone from blizzard says otherwise then he is A) lying or B)mis informed.

Well, you look like a huge pussy for dodging. Saying "You hate that mother fucker" SHOULd make u want to humiliate him even more by raping him when he calls you out. I can only assume you don't think you'll win

it tries to match you with people close to you first and if it can't it goes to whatever is available. it'll probably be better in retail when there's a larger amount of players, and besides do you want to be bashing on copper noobs forever?

---

I played people in gold when i was in copper and i won, but the thing is, for some reason everytime i played someone in gold and won i got a loss, and so did they. It happened 9 times, was very gay.

This is a correlation not a causal affect. Basically the top players play nonstop, and have been playing nonstop since the beta first game out. When the ladder was reset, the top players that were already good that play alot happened to be the first to populate the first few plat divisions.

In the later divisions you have people that were populated later either by moving out of silver/gold leagues, being more casual but good players, or getting their beta key later and being good RTS players but not yet top tier SC2 players like the ones who have been playing for over a month.

So it is true that the higher the div typically the higher caliber of player but its kind of like "first in line is the biggest fan" type thing instead of the system actually being designed that way.

Shazm's ego is ridiculous. He can lose every game and still rationalize how he's better than Ghostnuke.

Yeah, out of control ego for sure. Lets see, proud of the person he is, check, happy that he is getting better at starcraft and not afraid to brag a bit about it, check, works hard for his money and is able to buy shit, check, likes to laugh at lazy leeches on welfare, check.

Yeah, holy fuck everyone look, a decent human being, quick everyone take him down a notch the cocky fucker.

Divison holds no bearing on your "rank."

I went 4-1(thx disc) in placement on the first night of reset and got placed into divison 3. I have a rating of about 1350(?). This means my rating among all other platinum players is 1350.

I have been in division 3 since placement. This doesn't mean I am better than the players in division 4. It is completely randomized from when you complete your placement matches.

Also, just because you are placed in platinum does not mean you are better than a gold player.

Ex.

Shazm: rank 84 plat, rec - 25-21, rating - 917
Ghostnuke: rank 13 gold, rec 68-54, rating - 1268.

If you are matched together, ghostnuke will be "slightly favored." because of his rating.

TL;DR - Ghost is better than shazm. Shazm is a scrub. GG no RE.

Edit: I played my placement matches about 15 minutes after server came up after reset. I was rank 5/21 in divison 3 after rest. Divisions 1-5 all had 20-25 players in them at this point.. This obviously means it "seeds" you by completion time, not how good you are.

has anyone encountered any major bugs yet?
I had one where I was playing toss vs zerg and he pulled some early pool build on me and hit me hard early
i had 2 gateways and 2 pylons powering them
he took out my pylons and my third completed which was only in range of 1 of my gateways but it wouldn't complete the zealot building, then when i threw down another pylon, it continued building
but anyway it pissed me off because I basically lost the game because of it happening

i had one late game where i had 2 robos cranking collousi and immortals, it would load the immortal all the way to 99% then sit there, i had to cancel the immortal to get production started again, happened like 3 or 4 times in that one particular match

2v2 is a joke

Terran dominates with superior mobility. Leave base? DROP/REAPER INC FOR BASE DESTRUCTION.

what to do vs mass hydra as terran? i had like 6 bcruisers and they got raped (his hydras were 2-2) and i lost my base with tons of resources left, ran and rebuilt, made a ton of cloaked banshees, he would just burrow his hydras and run an overlord over, incredibly annoying.

Looking for ally ATM any takers?
