I have been trying to get into this game and I'm still not really sure what to think. I really want it for the single player side but will check out the multiplayer from time to time. As of now it just seems like it is a rush atleast in the 2v2. A rush that I never win. I have been playing under novice however I think that means nothing and the games last 10 minutes tops. I am starting to think what someone told me years ago about the first one is going to end up being the case with the second one. It sucks that really good players would stick around and play against new players or players that are not that good just for a win loss record. But what can you do.

I'm still up in the air with this but that is because I really want the single player part of the game. It does seem to be fun for me but I suck at it when it comes to the multiplayer.

Because of how the matchmaking works, you don't get paired with someone who is way better than you all that often. You typically get matched with other people within your skill range.

Lets pretend that someone intentionally botches their placement matches... That person gets seeded to copper, and starts winning.

They don't STAY in copper. they get moved up to bronze. if they keep winning there, they get moved to silver.. and so on until the user is playing against people in his own skill range anyway.

That should be the exception, not the rule.

You can suck a big bag of dicks.

I just got in on the beta and I am loving it, even though I am a total newb and I get beat up pretty regularly.

I dont play 2v2 very often, but for me, I cant win unless I rush or do an early timing push. I cant play as fast late into the game as most because I play on a laptop. Need both hands to move around and click fast because I dont have a normal mouse + cant use hotkeys = cant keep up after 10+ minutes or so.

I can beat some pretty good people with just normal rushing and timing strategies. This being my first RTS that I have actually played more than a few games in I think I am doing pretty good. Started in Copper cause I didnt know what I was doing, moved up to Bronze, then just moved up to Silver yesterday. I am beating Golds/Plats on a consistent basis, and I don't even scout. I can win probably ~70% of my games just using Terran and doing a timing push with "The Ball". Proxy Zealot rushing works a high percentage of the time as well.

He's a man who uses the words "timing push" every other sentence, and is a huge proponent of "the ball".
