League Promote Bugged? - Page 6

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

Why are people still saying it's MMR when Excal_Z has confirmed that there is a bug in the promotion system? Jesus.

Welcome to the internet, where only half the users can read!

But seriously, you do have to admit that a lot of people will be sorely disappointed when the "lock" is lifted and they're not promoted for some of the other reasons posters have stated in this topic.

Azn they think the ladder started bugging June 10th. So he could have been promoted June 9th just fine.

is it SO much to ask for a working ladder?

My friend and I are in bronze 2v2 and our last 10 games in a row we have won and every single player is either plat or diamond.

As long as you get matched up with the right people, does it really matter?

I like ladder just cause I can play people at my skill level, not because of the picture it gives me.

If you're stuck in the bronze league but above that level of skill you will be forced to place people less skillful than you not allowing you to improve yourself.

Unless I've been under a grand misconception since beta, the matchmaking system uses a hidden rating to place you against opponents, which allows you to play people outside of your league.

MMR is still working, promotion isn't. It doesn't matter if you are in bronze facing diamond/master/grandmaster, your MMR is still changing. The problem here is the promotion system, not who you are getting matched up against.

I think for some people it matters when looking for team games or practice partners. When I'm making a group I usually don't invite with people who have bronze-gold 1v1 rankings. Even if I do, the rest of my team leaves.

That is a false statement. You can be in Bronze league but if your MMR is in the right range, you will place against anyone in any league.

I'm curious if the root of the problem lies in the fact that the system currently doesn't seem to do anything with inactive players (outside of GM) thus many of the leagues become cluttered with players who do nothing more then play their placement games and then go MIA while still taking up a league spot, thus causing a part of the issue. Just a thought.
I sometimes do something other then play Starcraft... Rarely.
