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

Excalibur_Z, You seem like you have inside knowledge. How do you know blizzard is aware? Are you saying that is 100% CONFIRMED that the promotion system is bugged for some players?

thanks for the update excal. My only question is do you know if it is for everyone or just some people?

playing and beating only plats/diamonds (losing some of course) and i've been #1 gold for at least a week now, with over 200 more points then the 2nd place guy (i know points don't matter much, just saying)

want a promotion before i leave for france at the end of june
watch the wall collide with my fist, mostly over problems that i know i should fix

at this point you'd think the ladders NOT being bugged is a bug

i am exactly in your position. been rank 1 for awhile(i know it does not matter for promotion). playing mostly diamonds with the occasional plat and winning at least 50% of them. I would have expected to be atleast be promoted to plat since I'm 50/50 with diamonds

That explains a lot. I played a game where I was slightly favored against a masters player today, and considering I've only played masters players for around 3 days, I was very confused.

I talk to them. I brought this up a couple of days ago, they investigated, then later confirmed it and said they were testing a hotfix. That's all the info I had.

I did the same thing with a silver league account not too long ago and it took me about 60 games just to get promoted to platinum. I went something like 58-2.

I've been getting this too. I've gone on 10 game winning streaks, beaten 3 diamond players and about every platinum player I face. Still rank 1 in Gold even though I'm clearly platinum skill level.

FXO plays Grand Master players on the Korean ladder with Platinum accounts. There is most definitely a bug.

I'm just speculating but this is my theory - for some players, there is a massive jump in the MMR (this could be caused by new accounts, etc) that they will climb more than 1 league (e.g. bronze -> plat). Because of this, the ladder can't determine where to place them and thus they remain unpromoted.

For example, lets say a bronze jumps to the silver/gold threshold. Because of this uncertainty (whether they are gold or silver), they may not get promoted. However, in my opinion, they should be automatically promoted to silver in this case.

I have a feeling that the ladder system assumes gradual increases.

I'm getting sick of this problem. Just place people in the league their MMR suggests. If they go up and down fast who cares? It is what it is.

Generally, it promotes you when you either:
A) pass the threshold with stable enough performance (by winning and losing games at a certain level)
B) pass the threshold substantially (by winning games well beyond the minimum for the league, like silver beating plat/diamond consistently)
Regardless, they will be promoted into the next league at least, even if they are straddling 2 leagues other than their current.
