Arrrrgh why on earth did they change it from 10 matches to 5 matches? I really hope they changed the system so that you can bounce between divs more easily if they're only going to have 5 placement matches at release.

I went 3-2 in placements (one to a good terran, one to a zerg that baneling+ling rushed me) and got stuck in gold, im currently 11-3 in gold (8-1 since the placing...) and can see a lot of familiar platnum players in my division (tasteless for example).

Pretty much pure rant but yeah, wanted to vent, placing is now retarded.

edit: i was 5th in my plat div before reset.

Apparently the ranking system was improved in the patch, so it'll be easier to move up and down ranks.

Because everyone loses games? What an absolutely retarded question. Do you see any of the people at the top of platinum winning all there games? or even 3/4's of their games? no....

What the fuck is the point of your posts exactly? Apart from random trolling? What are you trying to point out? That i lost twice so i deserve to be in gold? according to the 5 game system, yes i do, but i think its pretty obvious from my results now that i dont belong in gold, and neither do a few of the players im seeing in gold...

The point of my op apart from a rant is to say the 5 placement system is dumb compared to the (also retarded, but at least less retarded) 10 placement system, and im hoping as another poster said the system has been altered so its no longer impossible to swap between divisions for the release... Or else its not at all un-reasonable for really good players to be put in gold and even silver and stuck there till however long it takes till they reset/re-adjust/whatever they plan on doing.

Really good players huh? How about you stop being full of yourself and just play. Obviously if your win rate stays high you'll move up anyway.

it's not that big a deal. Just rape it up until you get placed in platinum.

Play starcraft. Have fun. Of course you know they changed the system in which people are ranked...you can rage after a week and you haven't been moved up.

Ahhh fuck it, I wasnt talking about myself tien.ns when i said good players could get stuck in gold/silver. Anyway apparantly my op contained to much whine about my placing than criticism of the system itself so now im just getting pointless flames. My fault i guess =\.

I don't know why people are complaining about getting stuck in leagues. I went 7-3 in my placement matches got put in gold, like 20 games later they bounced me up to plat cause I was winning a lot. Maybe I'm just really good or something, but its not hard to go up ranks.

Who cares what league you're in? Your hidden MMR determines who you play, not your league placements. You can play all the top platinums while sitting in bronze after a failed placement run.

So you shouldn't have lost. And you lost TWICE.

Horrible.

yeah, i went 3-2 also and i'm in your division now. part of it's because we were playing during the wee morning hours, when basically everyone on is a hardcore ex-bw player. much harder games than normal i think (or maybe just an excuse cuz i don't want to admit i suck)

Maybe they want Platinum players in this new reset to be the really good players so not everyone is in it.

That's what I would hope.

i guess with time it will move you where you belong to, i mean i had to play white-ra AND demuslim in my 5 placement matches and therefore i'm stuck in bronze now..... but i guess i'll move up to gold pretty fast again

lol my thoughts exactly.

Now that there's no iccup, people can't smurf cause there's automatchmaking, people still find ways to bitch and extrapolate their skill...
