RC, you should include gateways in there.

Also either I'm retarded or Shanba's account info is off.

Curiosity overwhelmed me and I decided to see if I could actually play this on my laptop, and holy shit it worked. Graphics are sitting at rock bottom on all areas and any big 200 supply battles that I've seen when watching replays have chugged a bit (well actually, a lot) but I am delighted to be able to play some starcraft II. I even beat a guy today after an awesome banshee harass (though tbf I think he dconned by mistake <.<)

Speaking of which, I <3 banshees. Pew pew in your base missiling your drones.

by the way, i'd love any tips for ladder grinding other than "win." is blizzard's rank algorithm still super secret?

i've been sitting at r1 bronze since i bought the game three weeks ago ffffff.

TheButtonmen · Post Post #48 (ISO) » Fri Oct 22, 2010 5:58 am

You need to beat people ranked higher then you >50% of the time, so it's going to start matching you vs people from gold / silver and once you start winning there it will promote you; no need to grind at all, it's based much more on win streaks.

I had a massive win streak against people in bronze and it started matching me against high silver and low gold players with few games played. But now I'm losing more often than I win - generally beating the silvers and losing to the golds and for some reason, also the bronzes I still get matched against occasionally (who are much better than the other bronzes I had been playing.) I'd guess I ought to be in silver, but it hasn't promoted me yet
