he is onto something with the arcade thingie, maybe also with the sponsors (can't really tell, because i do not have any numbers from the sponsors as to how they value their investment)...
but ladder anxiety? if you dont want to lose your precious ladder spot, go play basic. worked perfectly even without the "unranked matchmaking" (although it has been improved). "no risk, no fun"...
why do people here not play the scheldt all the time? because they want to play competetive. why does SNF not have scheldt games? because nobody wants to watch that.
"ladder anxiety" is just another way of saying you can't take a loss and learn from it. if you didn't care about winning or losing, you wouldn't care about your ladder spot. if you do care about winning to the extent that you don't ladder anymore, why not just go play against an easy AI? you'll prolly win every game... i can tell you why: people want to win against other people, and not an AI. and usually people also like to show off (with their ladder ranking as an e-peen equivalent).
we're living in a competetive world, where pretty much everything is a competition... encouraging things like "ladder anxiety" is the wrong way to go. teach people to deal with the losses and learn from them.
