I think only Excalibur_Z can make that claim outside Blizzard employees

Also, please take a look at this chart before you make more claims.

MMR decay is not the only reason why you are facing past Master players in diamonds and platinums.
Just accept it and try to get better.


Interesting chart, really can explain this very clearly. It's possible for a small percentage of people to have gone from bottom masters to top platinum while maintaining the exact same mmr.

This thread and that chart are perfect illustrations of why these named leagues were always a dumb idea. As the population of players decreases over time, which is to be expected to some degree, the players that stick around are more likely to be better and improving. Having labels that are relative to the overall player population rather than indicating how a player has improved over time is really crap. Worst case there could be as many as 10k masters players that have improved over the past two seasons but are in lower leagues now. Things like league labels really matter in competitive communities.

Just yet another painful example of how Blizzard refused to learned from what made BW such a long lasting success. Everyone would be so much happier if bnet2.0 had gone with a system like iccup had. A ranking system that rewarded dedication and striving to improve by letting you see raw scores and compare season to season.
It's supposed to be automatic but actually you have to press this button.
