What do you guys think?
+ Show Spoiler +
I started playing Starcraft when the ladder was already gone, and I only learned later about ICCUP. I think having a regional rank is much cooler than the sc2 division style ladder.

First paragraph of the article: It’s not just StarCraft’s graphics that are receiving an overhaul this summer—StarCraft: Remastered will also add modern matchmaking and ladder functionality, including a Leaderboard! StarCraft: Remastered will launch with Leaderboards between Friends, and expand all the way up to global standings as we hone our matchmaker. Matchmaking will be using a leaderboard instead of divisions. | ||

1) US/NA has just one server 2) MOTW, if it exists, will impact only ladder points and not the actual matchmaking/rating. | ||

I'm fully expecting to hone their matchmaking either with in house tests, in the 1.18 patches/PTR, or a combination of both. A BW:R release without matchmaking would be a huge mistake. | ||

And to be honest I think it affects those of us that are more familiar with the game the least. We've got lots of good people to practice with already, and even without matchmaking it's pretty easy to just avoid people with weaker records if you're getting a bunch of way to easy games from newer players flooding in. That said, it would still be nice to always have games on ladder with players in close proximity to your own skill. You'd always be able to practice against better/worse players outside of ladder just from knowing guys from TL/discord/etc. I just wish they'd give me a darn date, wanna organize a big statewide LAN... but right now I don't know if it will be out in July or in November. | ||

That's a ship-blocker for them. If matchmaking isn't in the game, Remastered isn't launching. Leaderboards are just presentation. Think of it this way. Internally, they have this giant database of 100,000 players and it stores who's online and searching for games, what their skill level is, etc., and when it finds two players that are similar, it automatically starts a game for them. That's the matchmaker. The leaderboard is how that information is presented to players through a UI like this. If the leaderboard initially only shows friends, that doesn't mean that the matchmaker only searches for friends. They're two independent features. | ||

I... understand what a leaderboard and matchmaking are.. thanks. Do you have inside information that they guaranteed matchmaking on Remastered launch? | ||

It's just common sense. They will delay the remastered launch date if for some reason matchmaking isn't ready. Blizzard isn't stupid they will take all the chances they can have for a proper initial launch. | ||

I hope they don't launch w/o ranked. It was pathetic there were 2 AAA RTS released in the last that shipped without ranked matchmaking for their games. I can't imagine Blizzard making the same mistake here since they're freaking advertising it right now. Worst possible scenario I can feasibly imagine a scenario where they'd want to patch free Starcraft w/ ladder along with the remaster and maybe something goes terribly wrong and they have to delay it., but knock on wood, I hope that doesn't happen. | ||

Also while I prefer the classic ladder system, I hope the matchmaking actually does kind of categorizes skill levels. I would love a ladder that matches me with people being kind of the same skill level - no matter if you call it "X Divison" or Rank ABCDE or whatever... Actually I picture it genius having total newcomers getting a fighting chance on ladder with matchmaking, while people who knew BW back in the day end up inbetween newcomers and "still pro" ^_^ | ||
