Lol I feel bad for the guy. They should promote him asap!

I remember I randomly got promoted from gold to platinum after losing a game around ~6th ranked in a gold div. Their methods... are mysterious to say the least.

To the guy who said Blizzard and FAQ about Ladders. Funny. Funny man.



Using apm doesn't make much sense to me, but taking the final score into account does sound plausible.


And iirc, this guy is over 100 (displayed) APM, and in silver. There are many platinum players who aren't hitting that.


This is true. My APM hovers around 100-120, and many other Plat's I play are in the 60-90 range. ;/



if you play a 12 minute game and your average APM is 120 then you are absolutely wasting those actions.

Once again before all cry: leagues overlap. The league difference just translates into a rating offset. Imho it is 225 per league, and 450 between copper and bronze. That means his 2432 silver equal 1982 platinum. Sure I have no proof for this, but the data reported speaks for itself.

This means people finally need to get over the idea of "platinum > all". We do neither know how the reranking is working, nor whether it is the same concept as in the final version. There might be skill gaps in leagues with outstanding players frequently and it might take some weeks or months until they are placed higher. Why not? The system translates between leagues fluently and there is no need for a hard distinction.

And I think the comments from people saying 1200 got favored against 1600 in the same league just mixed the stats up when they checked it and checked for 2v2 or something, as those reports are pretty rare. :D

I have been checking my opponents in the past days and it always confirmed the theory so far.

... Wow... Seriously..? -_-;;

Also taking into account unspent/spent is retarded. half the games ive seen on streams have been one person losing, typing gg, then the players having a conversation about the game and stuff (or just general bm). Both players would end the game with 2k unspent... Does this make either of them worse players ^_~

If he weren't from the US, I'd call you a liar.

Everyone knows Stork is the highest rated silver player.

Your division doesn't totally determine the division of the players you play.

doesn't matter, my argument is still valid.


It's obviously not, and you should really read the OP, before posting in a thread.

Because it is a theory and not final. Maybe the offset between gold and platinum is 450 too. ;-)
Or maybe every promotion takes 450 from you, no matter the gap you pass.

If this was the case it would be uniform, however it isn't. If only one deviation from your theory occurs, then your theory is wrong. Therefore, point evaluations are most likely dynamic and not static, and we have no clue as to how Blizzard is going about these evals upon changing Leagues. I'm sure the PhD Statistician they hired, did something a little more complex than this....

Even though he (from that screen shot) maintains a 63% win ratio.....nice job.

Um, I was 2300 1-2 weeks ago in bronze league and finally moved up, and I (we) still have the exact same win ratio and play the exact same players oversky, idra, etc. that we played the first week. Leagues have almost no impact on anything, they are pointless and useless. Yes his rating is going to change when he his plat, but unless he's bad and somehow actually plays silver players, he's not going to do any worse once he moves up.

It seems like when you are doing well enough in a league an 'advance' button should appear. So if you want to go up a league you can.

I just played around with the new units in my placement matches and got put in copper. Like 3 hours later it moved me to bronze. Now I just bounce between #3 and #1 in bronze with a 55-60% win record. I only lose games when I am being up matched to people not in bronze. I just feel like I am unable to advance, and it's kinda stupid.

I share my roomates account and we are top in our silver league and it constantly puts us against silver/platinum. We have beaten almost all the golds and most of the plats but it never wants to move us up to gold or plat. So so weird.
good luck have fun!
