Why am I getting matched against people that are nearly 1000 more mmr than me? Then it costs me 24 ladder points. Making it impossible to move out of current league. So bad. Hopefully microsoft gets to work fixing this terribly broken game!
Of course it’s broken. That’s because the game is imbalanced
This is stats pulled from SC2 distribution. Don’t look at the % vs other races column because that’s unfair. Terran has the highest number of players. You have to compare how these ranks are distributed amongst each individual race which you can see in the second table.
Plat / Diamond has lowest % of Terran players amongst themselves cause it’s an extremely hard race to play where as P and Z has highest % of players in that base.
Subsequently Terran has high % in lower ranks such as bronze, gold and silver cause its harder to grasp and therefore rank up which is contrary to other races where they in fact do rank up
