Though, I do wonder how exactly Blizzard will be creating diamond leagues. With what they thought was a good idea before, I can only imagine how they messed this one up. | ||

Its not going to be an exact science, but it'll give you a good indicator of where you stand. Its the best we've got, since we don't have those actual MMR numbers, after all. Although, from my understand, isn't your rating directly related to your 'hidden' MMR? Isn't it basically the same thing at this point? Beat a bad opponent from a lower bracket? Gain fuckall points. Beat a good one from the same bracket? Gain a few. Beat a great one, from a higher bracket? Gain a buttload. Hidden MMR was a concept they introduced in WoW Arena because its a team-game and they need hidden MMRs to keep an idea of player skill when they join/leave Arena teams all the time. In this game, you're always solo, so your actual MMR is going to be identical to your rating. Your MMR is going to fluctuate much more than your actual rating. Also, MMR in WoW Arena isn't hidden anymore, that's why we can make more accurate correlations to it. We're talking about factors that directly influence your MMR, and that is wins and losses as compared to the MMR of your opponents. You could have high APM, low APM, good macro, bad macro, cheese or not cheese, none of that matters other than the outcome of the game.

25-5 should definitely get you into diamond. Even worse than that should, too (25-10 for example) But to hear it's just a bug makes me sad. =P | ||

If I get really streaky I used to be promoted in under 10 games. so 9-0 was good enough to get promoted. On the other hand, if I lose 1 or 2, it took another 15-20 games for me to get promoted (This is all previous experience of course, playing on several of my friend's accounts to test it as well). -Rating is also a factor. You get more points the harder the opponent, so the higher the rating with less games played may be a sign of a stronger player (of course, this is all changed now probably). -Correct, division rank seems to be the only thing you may have right. You could be rank 8 gold and still get promoted to plat. Though you should note your rating is doubly correlated to your rank, therefore your rank SHOULD be high if you have a high enough rating or MMR that they choose to promote you. I believe this is due to the "no division is equal" they have at blizzard. Where last patch I was rank 1 in my division with 660 rating, some Divisions had as high as 900. -How well you do in your games is a HUGE factor I believe. I'm not sure how they are calculating it, if they are just using every bit of information to figure your MMR. I believe maybe, average unspent resources, among other things COULD be a contributing factor. I only believe this because patch 14 in several 2v2s (not tested with 1v1), I had lost 2 games with fellow diamond players during placements, and on SEVERAL occasions 3-2 placed us in diamond. To be frank, no one knows how this new system works right now, if there is even any correlation or carry overs from the old one. It just seems that diamond is a bit more exclusive, which is what everyone was begging for anyway. TL;DR --Be nice please.  No one here knows the formulas and functionality of this ladder, and in FACT we can only speculate, but Blizzard will never tell us the full details. Knowing how something works is how people abuse something. | ||

Any more comprehensive change would had been in the patch notes more specifically. | ||

It's still possible that you can't place directly into Diamond, but that promotions into Diamond are what's bugged. We'll have to see how this develops. | ||

I'm hoping you're right, would be nice if being in diamond actually meant something, even if it meant I wouldn't get into it. =P | ||

I was hoping it'd be something like a week of gaming for a good player to be promoted from Platinum to Diamond. In my opinion, make Diamond .1% of the population and put everyone in Diamond in one Division. Every competitive player would love that (even if they don't make it into Diamond -- it'd be a meaningful goal) and every person interested in competitive gaming would love it too. And what's the drawback for everyone else? I don't see one. | ||

We weren't that good and our opponents sure are worse than us. So I guess it's not straight records.. | ||
