I hope leaving a game immediately will not give you any XP points. Otherwise we will have a SHITTON OF LEAVERS

Maybe if the ladder wasn't as disengaging and boring for the casual player as it is useless to the pro player trying to practice, the game wouldn't "need" a leveling system. Think about it, the game is based around 1v1 ladder, AND YET I do not know anyone on my ladder board because I have never played them. Ranking up is too volatile, as one night with bonus pool gets you most of the way up there, and despite there being such a complex system, all anyone cares about is the LEAGUE you are in.

We need smaller ladder divisions. We need to play people within our division more often so that we have atleast some link to our division and our ladder board, and so that the casual player might make a few new friends or practice buddy by virtue of stumbling across players that you know every so often. And imagine how hard 6 poolers and cheezers would be discouraged if you knew who to be careful of simply because you've played them 5 times in the past week.

Blizz shouldn't keep expanding the game in all directions at a mediocre quality. Take the systems that the game has, and make it work. Then the casual player would have inclination to play the game for what it is meant to be.

Looks like the Achivement system that gives rewards for losses as well. Is it enough? I doubt it.

I think the leveling will be great. It will give us something to do and encourage people to try and fight to the bitter end...I hate when people just gg and leave super quick...

I hope blizzard adds the "skins" feature like other games...kind of like the CE Thor!

I'm happy with this.

Doesn't change anything on the ground and gives another reason to play ladder. Hopefuly XP isn't just "+100 for win" but takes into account stuff in the game as well.

yea like you get more points for lower average unspent minerals/gas or having your units made/killed ratio a lot higher then your opponent

I'd like to see them implement the leveling system into WoL as well to get rid of the game-dropping after 5 minutes and give people incentive to play for their portraits. It may take a little longer than winning all games but 40 minute 4v4 losses will move you forward significantly compared to 0 benefit at this time. I hope they consider it as it may bring back more people and give them a chance to test it before March with a much larger audience.

Now when I kill things, numbers pop out everywhere, like I'm collecting gold coins in Diablo III. Surely a great incentive to play. Now I'm always leveling up even if all I do is losing again and again.
