Sorry I just have to rant D: I would like Starcraft 2 so much more if the ladder system didn't do this. Blizzard should realize people would enjoy laddering more if they had a more even distribution of matchups queued.. I feel like there are ways they could tweak it to prevent these long mirror-matchup streak's. As much as I play the ladder to improve, I also play it for fun.. and going on tilt because you have to all in in every PvP because you want to queue again and hope for a terran/zerg is NOT fun... I'm not really exaggerating that much either, most days I do get streaks of 6+ PvPs in a row and only 1-2 PvTs the whole day (and I'm lucky if the terran is nice enough to just play standard so I can refine my builds).

o and sorry for making you click all of the spoiler tabs, i actually like clicking them.

I think the spoiler tabs actually made for a nice touch.

lol I chain-queue into the same protoss a lot too, we're both so angry after the game cause we had to play a stupid PvP that we both rush to spam click "Find Match" again at the same time..

anyways to elaborate on why i hate PvP right now since I know some people like it... the late game is incredibly boring and coin-flippy despite what Oz has said about it requiring skill (which is true early-mid game). Nearly all macro games will just be both of us sitting on 3 base going double robo colossus while teching to certain things. If I rush to a really fast mothership and get a vortex off I win, but he gets a clutch feedback on my mothership he wins, if he has more colossus in a battle with no motherships he wins.. if I didnt have cannons in my mineral lines and he drops a bunch of dts in my main he wins..just stupid stuff like that. you can't scout easily as both protoss will have an obs with their army.

There are no little battles like a zealot archon PvT where you can out multitask/ make better decisions than your opponent, it's just a few huge battles that decide the whole 20+ minute game, and those battles largely are influenced by risks the two players took because of the lack of effective scouting.

That's because everyone plays Protoss. TvT on ladder is so rare both players are like "wow a terran, I thought I was the only one left!"
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Funny thing is, most times a Terran wins, Diamond or higher, I'm sure they get BM'd about how easy Terran is and how bad they are. Quite ironic.

And people are surprised by this? People learned to stop 1/2 base timings, Terran late and early game
Keeps getting nerfed and TvP is a nightmare to play late game. Do you really expect Terrans to stick around? TvZ is just as bad but it's slightly better

There's been less terrans on ladder for months now, not really matchmaking's fault.

I played 8 zvzs today and 1 zvp. The zvp was a cannon rush.



I swear ladder just forces a fuck ton of mirrors on you.

No !
I'm Terran I haven't played a single mirror match this week ( ~30 games )
When I face a terran I don't know what to do because I never play against this race
I'm often playing while speaking with a friend on skype , he is terran too , he has the same problem !
every terran seem to have the same problem ^^' no body plays terran anymore or what ?

Well everyone hates on us poor terrans so eventually we stop playing. You know, if you all would be a bit more friendly .. maybe we will come back.

Flowers would be nice too, once in a while.

Personally, I just stopped laddering after I lost about all my TvP's and TvZ's that went late game. Why even bother I thought, when I have to win early or face extreme difficulty in late game.
