I wish league placement was tied to the individual races you use. The ranking system asusmes you either stick with one race, or that you're pretty close in abilitiy with all 3 races, and I just ain't.

For example, I almost exclusively used Protoss in the original game, and during the Beta for StarCraft II. When StarCraft II released I switched to Zerg (the early Beta spoiled Protoss, and as it went on they kept getting nerfed. Now I just find Protoss extremely boring to play as), which was always my second race. I was pretty good with them so it wasn't a problem switching.

However, I never play competitvely as Terran and I know I'm absolutely awful with them, but I'd love to be good at playing all 3, so I'd like to experiment with them. The fact that I'm in Diamond and Platinum leagues is putting me off trying my hand at Terran though, particularly when it comes to something like 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4 where teammates expect you to be able to play.

I know it could get quite complex, since you'd potentially be in 4 separate leagues for each match-up (3 races & random), but the situation atm isn't ideal either.


You realize that it's just ladder right?  If you're going to a tournament or something where money is on the line then yeah, stay with your main race.  However playing against random people for what basically amounts to a bit of bragging rights... do what you like.  

MorroW just switched from Terran to Zerg on ladder and he's doing his learning against 1400  diamond players.
