For some reason this new patch causes me to run the game at 5 fps. Needless to say I lost 4 games in a row...

This is coming from a 65% win ratio =[[ to like a 0000% raito now.

It's based on MMR isn't it?
Obviously he has the skill of someone over 2.2k.

yeah based on MMR, but only MMR within diamond (?)

That means people who played like 25 games, got into diamond, then stopped playing probably have a pretty bad MMR. There's a lot of these inactive players. The more inactive players there are sitting at the bottom of diamond, the easier it is to get into the top 5% of diamond.

That is, assuming that master's cutoff is the top 5% of diamond, and not the top X% overall.

edit: for reference, diamond makes up about 7.5% of all players right now. Therefore top 5% of diamond = (.05 * .075) = .00375 = about top .4% overall.

Yeah, and I was only 2200 points because I didn't play much in November, and played mostly 2v2 for the first half of December, the other half I was out of town, and started playing again on Jan. 4th.

It's weird how so many people with high MMRs went to 2327 when they got promoted to Masters league. Perhaps they're still trying to mask people's MMR in the new system.

Congrats on the article btw. UofT ftw.
