Not allowing the top players to look where they are at the world is total BS. They better fix it by the realease. They should just remove the whole division crap, just make it Plat gold silver etc. Dustin Browdersaid he liked the division system better than ladder leaderboard because if you are rank 6 in copper league, it doesnt let you look at world rankings and see yourself down at 2million something. But not allowing the top players to look where they are at the world is total BS. Anyone else have similar feelings?

I agree it really is annoying but luckily 3rd party developers are making really cool ladder ranking systems that update automatically

so its good to know that if blizzard doesnt change it that there'll still be a solution

I agree, I would like to know what I am on a large scale to understand what my rank really means. For example, my division might just be full of new people (due to the fact that I qualified for it right after the reset) and my actual rank might not be nearly as high.

Of course, the division system in and of itself is flawed IMO due to the fact that you rarely ever play people in your division anyways...

Has this been confirmed at all? Or is it all just rumors so far.

As a silver player, I do enjoy the idea of divisions, but clearly there should be global rankings at the top. The "proleague" will presumably provide this. I guess I can't get too worked up about it though because it seems like such an obvious omission that I have a hard time imagining Blizzard *not* implementing some kind of global ladder for top players. Perhaps I am too optimistic.

I've heard a lot about these, but will legitimate players be able to go on these if, per se, they don't get Blizzard's approval? I'm not an expert on the DRM but Blizzard could really block these if they want their ladder to be the only one.
