And when I say "people affected by the issue" I mean people like this http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/642473/1/Brolettuce/ladder/45622#current-rank. This guy has 1056 adjusted points and he's in Gold league, and based on what we understand about the ladder, he should have been promoted long ago because his MMR is so high that a promotion should have prevented him from getting this many points.

I am curious where did you get that 1056 adjusted points figure for a Gold league player. After searching, I've only been able to come up with the following:

Master: -150
Diamond S-Rank: 0
Diamond A-Rank: +63
Diamond B-Rank: +126
Diamond C-Rank: +189
Diamond D-Rank: +252
Diamond E-Rank: +315
Diamond F-Rank: +378

If the points modifier for leagues below Diamond are known I am very much interested in seeing them, even if how many division tiers per league in plat / gold / silver is still unknown. If you can direct me in the right direction it will be much appreciated.

Now that I think about it, did you get the adjusted points figure from seeing that player's matches history, seeing which opponents in master league he received / lost 12 points for winning / losing to, and deduced his adjusted points from that? If so, this means this ladder lock is actually a golden opportunity. Having some players in lower leagues having master league MMR means we could get a pretty good idea of the adjusted points for the bronze / silver / gold / plat leagues.

I hope this isn't seen as off topic, I would have pm'd this to Exalibur_Z but I imagine more people are interested and for this reason making a post is probably best.

This bug has screwed me out of so many ladder points (facing plats/diamonds that should've been promoted long ago making me slightly favored :[)

I have a question. I'm mid-diamond, and about a week ago, I went on a losing streak. Now I've been demoted from diamond to platinum before (3 times if you can believe that!) , and I figured out that to not be demoted, you don't play for a week or so and then ride your bonus pool to a reasonable position.

After about 10 days, I got back on and laddered, I played 3 games in a row all against people who were slightly favored. I thought this was great, as they wouldn't demote me for losing to them, and winning brings my MMR up high! So, I convincingly crush all 3, thinking that i'm just awesome. After defeating them, I check their profile to see that they were all LOW platinum players! (one of them had 80 points!)

My question is this: Is my MMR so bad that these people had a higher one than me, and it's a miracle that i'm still in diamond, or is it this glitches fault?

My smurf was just promoted after beating a top 8 masters guy... I wasn't doing particularly well or anything so maybe it is fixed now for some people at least.
