League Promote Bugged? - Page 3

Something is up with league changes, but we don't know what specifically is the root cause. Blizzard is aware of the issue and are testing a hotfix. -- Excal_Z 6/15
This does not mean that there is a global ladder lock!! There is some bug affecting some players but it is not universal. -- Excal_Z 6/16
Might be fixed. Some of the affected players were promoted. Need more data. -- Excal_Z 6/17

no wai dude! You clearly belong in Bronze. Ladder will promote you when it deems necessary/your mmr hasn't stabilized/other random excuse from forum trolls who are just speculating on how the ladder actually works and just dismissing the idea that it's not working properly

you still get tons of points, possibly indicating that you still have bonus pool. that might be an issue. (insert referral to ladder thread)

I don't know whats upw ith the ladder but it worked fine for a full year I don't see why it keeps getting bugged now..


The diamond to masters barrier is much more difficult than other leagues. Don't know why, it just is

don't listen to the idiots claiming that you HAVE to have a 50% winrate to be promoted. Please use your common sense!



Dude, calm down. No need for insults...

Read the thread I linked and you will see why your statement is mostly wrong


Is it really that hard to believe that the ladder is locked when it has been locked previously

Masters is actually still Diamond. It is supposed to be top 2% Diamond and even Blizzard explained that. They even pointed out the fact that you might be Diamond rank 1 but not be promoted to Masters

No, stop saying this. That hasn't been true for like 6 months.

Something is up with the ladder, they've identified an issue and are testing a hotfix.

We don't know exactly what the issue is. It could be a partial lock, it could be some bugged players, it could be something not updating properly, it could be a side effect from the last fix.

This almost certainly is due to the recent battle.net update. There was no game patch but battle.net was updated in some way

Maybe the moment of the lock then?
BTW, I take back what I said about them not being locked, sorry. It just seemed award that they are locking them again so soon after unlocking them...
So sorry mate.

Ahh, now this explains why my best friend hasn't been demoted, even though he has been bombing all his games on purpose (has about 40 losses in a row).

lol, tell your friend he could get banned for doing that. Blizz is trying to root out portrait farmers, in case you didn't know.

Aren't we 15 or 16 days from a new season?
