The State of NA ladder
 

Hi guys,

I've been laddering a bit recently on the NA ladder, I'm a high diamond atm and have been experiencing quite a bit of bm and cheese from players on NA. For example the other day I was laddering playing against a Protoss on Entombed Valley and his response to my standard 1 rax expand was a four gate. I did this against quite a few other protoss' on similarly bigger macro maps and the immediate response of each player was to four gate. I also experienced a 3 gate void ray all in as well as other attempted one base all-ins from terrans. I was wondering if anyone else also experiences this cheesy kind of play, tbh i don't really have anything against 'aggressive play' in the early game but when it happens to me repeated I honestly don't enjoy it.

Also on the NA server I've experienced quite a lot of bm, One game I was making small talk with a player and said gl mate and then he went on to argue with me saying 'just cause you say mate doesn't mean your an australian'.I also experienced this from other players and in general when I go on ladder on NA I am faced with people who come across as arrogant and not so friendly.

I know I'm only at a lower level (diamond) and cheese may be something to expect at this level as well as that I'm making a big generalisation about players on NA based only on my own personal experiences but I'd like to know if other people of experienced the same kinds of things on the NA server.
