Did you beat any of the diamonds? and what is your record? If your record is 50/50 you wont play diamonds as often or if they are diamond very crappy ones.

I am almost top 10 with my diamond 3v3 team, and we lost about 20 games and won about 70 now.

Yeah 'fixed' matchmaking. I am barely 2v2 gold (ond only really got there cause of some REALLY lucky games where I beat plat guys) ANd I got matched vs diamond players 3 times in a row.

In my experience, the more you play the more you get even matches. Battle.net seems to "test" you when you begin, but after 100 games or so I don't get matched with godly players or complete newbies anymore.

Currently struggling to break into Diamond league. Been 1st in Platinum, downgraded to 15th or so in the next matches. I really need to develop some coherent game plans and better macro.

Yeah as Dr. said game needs more then about 100 games to fully recognize where you belong.

Is it right? Sure as hell not, but not much you can do about it.

After 650 games for me im 50/50 ratio almost. Playing diamonds only, sometimes occasional gold casue they are testing them besides that right where we should be.

Are there people with insane win records from cheating hell yeah there is.

I just lost to a team that played 900 games, and won 889 of them.

Definitely not fair especially after we rushed and killed 3 of them last one had mass void that he charged off his mothership.

I just had the most epic comeback ever. I was playing 1 vs. 1 terran vs. terran on the space platform map which has the 2 spawns pretty close to each other, with an island above them. I got rushed by a bunch of marines and marauders which destroyed most of my base, so I lifted off my command center, factory and spaceport, landed on the island where the other guy couldn't follow, surrounded it with turrets and started building vikings to hold off the other player. I managed to hold off a few waves of attacks, then snuck an scv in a medivac to the bottom of the map with the gold minerals and built up another base with a bunch of starports and a couple of armories to build upgraded battlecruisers. I continued building turrets and vikings on the little island to put on a show and get the guy thinking I was stuck there since he was constantly comsat scanning me. He told me 'u r so cheap' the he finally managed to destroy my island base with a nuke and 7 battlecruisers. A few seconds later I showed up with my secret fleet of 9 fully upgraded battlecruisers from my bottom base and put him to shame :laugh: .

LOL that guy was such a moron. He could have so easily destroyed you. best part was when he sends marauders to scout every single expansion except the gold one where u were massing starports. One of them walked right by it. lmao. :pinch:

lol it happens. I was winning like almost 12 or more in a row, then all of a sudden I lost about 6 in a row lol.. Best thing is take a break, watch the replays and get better.

How the hell do I defend now against a decent 6-pool Zerg player? :(

I've been thinking about this myself, as a toss player I think the way I'm going to be trying is a temporary wall off using a pylon which I'll cancel as soon as the zealot is done. Going to have to play around a bit.

I'm a little disappointed with the patch myself, I expected something slightly more substantial than a few balance changes and some stuff that we can all live without.

Those are easy to get through. Add d at your mine field. Zerg = two spines, Protoss = 1 to 2 cannons, & Terran = Screwed lol jk.. Normally 2-4 marines will help(bunker is a plus).

I have learned to always take out them Zergs first lol

Has anyone had the problem when you try to load a saved game, it wont? Mine says something about a previous version of SC II and if I would like reload the previous or something.. Is it safe for me to click yes or shall I wait for a fix?

This is the same with replays during the beta, I guess. Its safe to load a previous version... Basically the game will shut down the current version, and launch the exe file located in Base14505 folder, instead of the now-standard Base16561 folder.

The Base14505 folder is for the vanilla 1.0 (up to 1.0.3) version and the Base 16561 folder is for the current 1.1 version.

In the future all major patches will create a folder like this one, unless Blizzard decide some time in the future to merge all folders into one (for example, once the game reaches some major version like 1.10or something like that).

This was made to fix a problem that was present (and I think still is) in Warcraft 3, where if you update the game to version 1.36 (just an example) you won't be able to watch replays made during version 1.23 (again, just an example).

Me and my buddy pretty much learned the hard way the a double 6 pool from decent zergs in a 2v2 is unbeatable. I've tried reaper bunker strat, ive tried 6 rack reaper, walling almost gets done by time it shows up.

Pretty much boned cause you will either have 2 marines no bunker, or a reaper and a bunker. Fun stuff.

However, one zerg is a sitting duck.

Reaper and Zealot proxy is still viable just have to 7 gate it to work.
