It would be really nice if the ladder just showed your pure MMR.
As opposed to "well you have points but then also unspent bonus pool and don't forget league and of course the ~7 tiers within each non-master league, which of course combined reflects but does not directly relate to your MMR."

I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
so here's a question. i just played a practice league (lol) game last night PvT, and I would've LOVED to scout with my probe at 9 but there were so many motherfucking rocks that i didn't even have a chance to get them halfway dead before there was a marauder in my base harassing my probe line. and then a cloaked banshee.
how exactly does one scout early on as protoss when every single fucking map blocks you win with destructible rocks? just rush observers really hard?

Don't play the practice league, the game speed is lower than ladder and there are rocks everywhere. If you're placed in Bronze then you'll still learn a lot working your way up the ladders, or play some custom games; practice league is a waste of time.

ALSO is there any guide online anywhere as to how to sim-city the best? i understand what it means and why it's good but i'm not really sure of how to best place my structures so i don't suck a lot

Don't play the practice league, the game speed is lower than ladder and there are rocks everywhere. Take the hit and get placed in Bronze (if that's what happens), or play some custom games, practice league is a waste of time.
oh. well that's really good to know!
is there anything lower than bronze? because... that's where i'm going to be.

That's where I started in season one, worked my way to Gold by the end of season one and was promoted to plat at the end of season two. Don't worry about it.

THIS, a MILLION TIMES THIS.
also, non-masters actually displaying wlr would be nice.
but please just make it a fair, transparent system.
just had a placement match where i managed to get an assimilator on my zerg opponent's second gas before he had any lings, so i saw his first attack coming and blocked my ramp off with gateway pylon and zealot
...or so i thought
aaand then the lings poured right past my shitty maginot line and fucked my shit up
yeah I mean... I wasn't really expecting that I was just having fun with youhey remember that time I saw you at the sc2 tourney at pax? that was awesome.
I remember it as the time I could have met with Day9, but didn't know. So I didn't. And lost first round to another Zerg player. And then I made a sad face. Then missed the D&D meeting dinner. I loved PAX, but I have a few regrets.

There has to be a middle ground between constantly patching forever, and updating more than once a year.
(p.s., those people will be on mumble if you want to join in on the fun.)
which mumble is fizzy still sharing?

quickest way to see where you should place your buildings on different maps
although i'm sure someone has a quick pictoral guide for protoss ramp blocks which are quite essential

Well, it's frustrating feeling like you're on the border of a promotion while having very little idea whether or not it's true.
There have got to be thousands upon thousands of people out there in that situation and kind of stressed out about it.
And I just can't think of a reason not to show you where you actually rank.
LIAR

2) play terran, float eleventy million minerals and go 3-2 in placement
3) get into plat
4) well then

FUN dsy monday. It's just the day where people do stupid shit for fun at Day9's behest and we laugh at them. Or maybe learn something new.
