I don't think it will be hard to differentiate.
First off, if you're in silver and playing a Plat player, something is going wrong other than the look of the borders. Chances are as a silver player you won't be up against a plat, no problem there.
For Diamond & Masters it's a little harder, but I can notice the difference. If you're Diamond and your opponent is Masters you'll see his border is slightly different then remember you're the Diamond player so if there's any difference then the other person should be masters.
This will only be a problem in custom games, as I assume that if you're playing ranked 2v2, then the border should change to the relevant league of said team. So if a Plat 1v1 player and a silver 1v1 player were gold together in 2v2, the borders on the load screen would change to Gold for both players for that game.

A better choice for easier viewing would be if blizzard made a small icon on one of the corners of the portrait. At least at it to enhance.

Some of the colors are hard to distinguish.

ah nice. i already thought as much but nice to be sure now.
Feeling victimized helps from extending compassion and comprehension. If you are willing to understand the view points of others, it makes it more difficult to remain upset. That is the goal these posters are trying to avoid; they want to stay upset.

The trick is to look for the detail in the top border, rather than the colour. Masters has a fairly obvious line going through it whereas diamond is plain.

Weird that diamond is the only one without those little depressions on each side.

This is a cool feature, something rather simple that gives a lot. I don't think the colors will be that hard to differentiate after a few days on the ladder.

Also, when I was silver, I met plenty of plats on the ladder as my MMR was getting higher, so it's not impossible at all.
Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.

Me too, especially when they are much smaller on the load screen. They should have differentiated them a bit more, particularly Diamond and Masters.

Yes, it's 1v1 league.

I saw that border around my portrait last night and wasn't sure what it was for. Thanks!
If at first you don't succeed, redefine the parameters for success.

Nice, one more addition so that bad players feel bad about themselves. Blizzard has casuals in mind indeed. I actually find this addition useful, but if i was in bronze or silver i might feel kind of ashamed to have my (bad) performance show up like a banner on top of my head.

Thats why Blizzard introduced groups where all players from different leagues can find practice partners

Why not just have the actual league symbol by their name? Cool design though

Probably because diamond is the only gemstone.
