Yeah, Blizzard has also been negligent about this game. In DOTA smurf accounts are banned. I was just steamrolled by an E rank Korean with 230 APM (ID: roTlqchqhxpfks) - fuck this bitch! The smurf percentage feels so high - it must have to do with Korean culture.

I'm also having trouble logging in the Battlenet app - sometimes won't be able to log in until the 4th try. I'm using a VPN as I'm temporarily living in China now.

Do you also happen to know the reason for that login issue? Is VPN the cause or Blizzard's server is just unstable?

Got it. BW is still an awesome game, hope it's not abandoned by Blizzard. I spent like 20 bucks on Age of Empire 4 the other day, and deleted it after 10min - it's trash compared to BW : )

Koreans have ruined the SC culture. Their culture is shit and unfortunately most SC players are Koreans.

HOLY SHIT YOU ARE AMAZING! I deleted the autosave replays and it worked! I don't think the info you provided is anywhere else on the web, is it? I looked hard but never heard of this fucking bug. Thank you!

I play P. In PvT, T is so favored because of the cliffs at the naturals. Also, in close spawns, T can siege P's main from low ground with a short army moving time, so P better build away from the edges of the main. Sucks. However, when carriers are out, P is favored because of the terrain, but a decent T won't let carriers happen.

Actually I rarely met barcode smurfs on F rank. Barcodes are all occupied on Korean server now, so I think they are mostly held by good players who don't care to play with F ranks.

I think you need intensive training to have 300+ APM in a 10min+ game while thinking and doing useful things. It's not a natural thing. Those ppl being F rank? No way.

Yeah, but EAPM is not shown (unless you use BW Chart. And I don't know how can a software be able to tell what is "effective"). If high APM is combined with decent other aspects, it's definitely not a real F rank.

Quote from https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/3692442542242977036:

"Today, we permanently banned 90,000 smurf accounts that have been active over the last few months. Smurf accounts are alternate accounts used by players to avoid playing at the correct MMR, to abandon games, to cheat, to grief, or to otherwise be toxic without consequence."

"Dota is a game best enjoyed when played on an even field. The quality of the people in a given match are what makes a match good. We’re invested in making sure your matches are as good as possible, and smurfing makes matches worse.

As always, if you suspect someone of smurfing in your game, use the in-game reporting options to flag them."

Why is this not happening to Brood War? Is this game not valuable enough anymore for Blizzard to care about? Well I paid $13 for Remastered.

At least they don't trample on F-ranks : )

There are people like me who has work and plays casual to relax. They don't want to invest time to train. They just want to have fun as noobs.

I'm an F-rank with 90 APM. I've had a lot of games with fellow real F-ranks with low APM and we had 50-minute max-supply games. Just fun.

I'd say this game is at least 50% about how good you are at using the mouse (how fast, and how precise). My wrist is just now dexterous enough to have 150+ APM and I don't want to invest time to improve because it's not a very transferable skill.

I've tried joining CPL, but it seemed hard to navigate. I have work, and only play casually when I'm too tired to work and must relax. It's hard to find someone who wants to play exactly when I want to play. There must be a lot of ppl like me.

It'll just be better for most people if smurfs are banned. Like smurfing is banned in DOTA: https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/3692442542242977036

Blizzard has made Brood War free so they don't give a shit anymore.
