EPTI 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.

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. | ||

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 ^_~ | ||

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

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.

Or maybe every promotion takes 450 from you, no matter the gap you pass. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
