So I win all five of my placement matches, get placed into Platinum, as usual.
I start playing my games, ranking up, as usual. I get disconnected from one game. I keep playing.
I think currently, I'm something like 19-1. I am not ranking up from Platinum.
To make a long story short, I started looking at my games and see that I've been basically face-stomping high level diamonds. So I'm like WTF? And I realize I got disc. to a low level gold.
So I guess, it takes a shitload of Diamond wins to offset a Gold loss to move up from Platinum? This ranking system has got be baffled.
I guess not that it matters...
<RANT END>

Loose 7 games (6 moar) and you'll move up.
|
What? How does that make sense?
|
The way the SC2 ladder is set up requires a minimum amount of losses before promotion. Dumb, but true.
|
ya most people end up getting promoted when they lose like i did
|
Lost 5, then won 3, and got promoted to diamond. Two of my friends both lost 4 then won 1 and got promoted. It's awesome! -_-
|
1. lose games
2. ?
3. profit
|
This must be the nubbiest placement system ever, just can't get my head around why they would code it so. 7 losses to move up WTF ^^ It has been known forever, but still, MUHAHAHAHA!
|
Dude same thing happened to me (won all 5 placements 1 gold 2 plat and 2 diamond) and all I played were mid level diamonds and high level platinums and stayed 99-95 ranked platinum until bam! I am a 6th ranked diamond from a 96 ranked platinum. Just keep at it!
|
I got to about 1000 points in plat before they moved me. time to mass lose games!!
|
your ass whooping people, what else do you want?

Need to have 7 losses. Then win one more and you're ready to be promoted.

Platinum is becoming the new diamond, haha.. I see far better players in plat than diamond which is saddening.. (I can't get promoted either..)
|

Wrong wrong wrong. Stop posting this nonsense. All it serves to do is make people throw games for no reason. There is no evidence to support this.
Players and their Number of Losses before Promotion:
0 - 5
1 - 30
2 - 149
3 - 291
4 - 537
5 - 596
6 - 646
7 - 660
What matters is who they lost to and not whether they lost or not. Whatever the result was that decreases sigma enough to fall within the boundaries of a new league is what counts.
