Basically, i was browsing thru this particular player game history and found out that every single games he dropped out. And yet, he keeps searching for 1v1 matches.

I'm curious.

[aztecx]

He might be trying to demote himself to bronze league so he can start wintrading?

[dennistoo]

Win trading? What do you mean by win trading?

Or portrait farming. It's heaps easy to get the portraits at lower levels.

[cure]

Most probably portrait farming, alot of people do that.

[pikk0n]

My hero! I'm after him! RAWR!

I remember there was an issue in the past where players would search RT 4v4s and instant leave at the start and his team thats left behind would sometimes win the 3vs4 giving him portraits faster than actaully playing.

Dont see how it will work in 1v1 tho theres something im probably not thinking about!

Points in sc2 are a sign of the devil, he must abolish all points and thus be pure.

Thats seriously the best idea I have at wtf hes doing.

Surely this. Or he's trying to drop leagues so he's eligible to enter into a low league community tournament *cough cough*

How it works (farming portrait) for 1v1 is this.... you expect someone else/people to be doing the same, so that both of you are right at the bottom of MMR ratings, making you find each other. At this point, if someone set his leaving bot at 10 seconds while the other person might be at 5 seconds, the guy with the 10 second bot will continue to win as they continue to find each other.

Yep thats about it Light. Had a silver player do it to me the other night - I'll take the free win

That's pretty stupid. Who is that desperate with portraits?

[pXAero]

Blizzard could implement some sort of detection so that if someone leaves a game in the first minute three times in a row, then they get a 5 or 10 minute delay before they can search for a new game. It wouldn't completely stop it but it would certainly slow these chumps down.

So these people want to make people think they are good with a pretty portrait? All that does is make other people feel good when they stomp the nubs face in.

[dennistoo]

It seems like alot of people are doing this atm.

Judging by how much people care about vanity items and 'achievements' in games, 99% of the gaming population is.

[pXAero]

Just do Auir chef, plenty of nice looking portraits there :P

[dennistoo]

it's a win trade bot to automate the process. no ban?

[Eryx]

if you can prove it's a bot it's a ban and blizzard are huge advocates of banning in waves to catch alot of people give it a couple weeks

[dennistoo]

i do have reliable source telling and demonstrating how to do it. If you check out the loss bot, demoted to bronze, the next win/loss points is all the same.

+12 -12.

And my point is, isn't botting against the system and it results in ban?
