How's everyone doing? Get some games in this weekend? Any cool VODs/Replays?
I will post my copper league thoughts in reply...
Thread Truncated. Click to see all 110 replies.
I returned to Starcraft 2 with renewed vigor and really focused on early game macro, mostly ignoring micro and combat. Every single game I've played since then has gone MUCH MUCH better. I actually feel like I'm improving and am playing the game correctly, instead of being all over the place. Granted, I still suck, but the point is to improve.
(First off, from my understanding leagues don't really mean much, as it matches you against people of similar rating level.)
Now my trouble is that I rarely matched against similar skilled players. Out of the 15 or so games I played in the past few days, I've won maybe 2 games against someone of similar skill. Half of my games seemed to be against people that shouldn't be anywhere near my skill rating, which is hovering around 1000 still. A third more seem to be against RTS newbies and it sucks for them because I shouldn't even be matched against them.
Is this just the shit-hole skill level? Everyone exiting placement matches into copper has 1000 rating, and I'm stuck there because I keep getting thrashed by people who threw their placement matches intentionally and/or don't play often enough to get past ~1150 rating.
I spent a couple hours giving 2 different fresh newbies some very basic tips (use your choke, don't expand so fast, make marauders to kill my roaches, etc.) so they didn't get TOO discouraged.
I can't think of much to do beyond send Blizzard feedback. I'm not sure this "1000 rating HELL" is going to be a problem at release, but it feels like an issue right now for me in Beta... probably in large part because of the rating reset that happened.
Anyone else experiencing this?
