if hes not suitable in plat, hed be kicked just like us ^^;
and if ur not a fan of smurfing, sc2's system is pretty 'perfect'.
for terran, other than MMM, theres always mechanized builds, air builds or mixups to play with. the recent terran replays showed quite a lot of insights and how-to's along with its inherited flaws etc etc. as for helions, unless ur micro is DAMN GOOD, and can get em in reaper speeds etc and you're NOT facing terran, forget it. the only use i can think of for them is worker rape via aoe + range/fast speeds. OR, if enemy is running melees like zealot/zerglings (also, not terran rofl)
for VODs, i know theres a lot of tarson playing terran, and some TLO i guess... day9 did a good cover on terran doing non MMM builds with a terran vs terran mirror and both going different builds (do watch that if you hate MMM like i do lol)
also, you in copper isnt entirely due to random/dc. lets say ur in ur perfect line condition/playing only protoss, the max youd be would be around silver (i would assume/estimate) even if ur placed in plat by winning all 5. do note, even if you win ALL 5 games it may not place you in plat as the placement also uses other factors to determine ur placing. i know this for a fact that ive played with other LYN player in 2v2 and we won all 5 games and still place into gold.
put it this way: good players, know the game inside out, and while he may not play random, he would know/understand all races like the back of his hand. (for a good reason to) You atm are weak on terran/zerg as you pointed out yourself. lets say you play protoss and you face say, terran/zerg, would you have ALL possible scenarios going through your head during game loading/as game progress and have a solution/answer for all of them when your game start/progress through?
like i said, if you're really good, you'd be moved to avoid noob stomping as the system is meant sole for one thing: putting people where they belong and everyone can have a great time (and challenge, like you wanted)

and thats the thing that are common in blizz, even the slightest tweak of -1 armor from roach, can go a looooooong way in promoting a balanced and competitive game play and lol esport
The matchmaking is still quite bugged so far, from what i heard.and if ur not a fan of smurfing, sc2's system is pretty 'perfect'.

Im not saying i hate MMM build, but i just want more builds before i play more Terran, in case MMM doesnt work suddenly and im left there not knowing what else that could be effective to do. Mixing a bit Mech seem to be the way to go so far.
Im not saying im good,as i have pretty much stopped RTS after RA3, as RTS games are getting a bit too stale for me. Except DoW2 after 1.5. So,there are quite a fair bit to catch up for me as im quite rusty now.
I know why im in Copper, mostly because i dont have a clue at all with Zerg and Terran during placement. Also, probably the skill factor as you have point out,as i heard Battlenet also takes account of things like how much floating minerals you have or your average APM before putting you in a league. I expected to be on Silver, max,as Gold players are much better than me in every way. I have played with Gold players and i know im not up to their standard,and probably rage if the matchmaking put me in Gold after reset. lol.
Could you give the link for Day[9]'s VoD? SC Legacy's one kinda suxs,as they arent technical enough nor as entertaining as Husky or HD.
