Last days i was placed 4-6th in silver 2v2 random. one evening i won 5 or 6 games in row, which resulted in that i had the best win/loss ratio in my division. Next day, to my surprise, after a loss i got promoted to 16th place gold league, with like 1060 points. before in silver it where like 1240 or something.. atm for me its really hard to say what counts for what in case of points/favored/league placement. edit: Was wondering yesterday that theres a guy in my gold division with 40-21 and he got ~940 points..must be a constant horrible selection of opponents for him.. | ||

I am sure the ladder system will work better once these "tournaments" get implemented where winning probably will result in direct promotion to the next tier. | ||

And lastly it seems to be completely obvious its a shared account, and if u account for 1 player being a copper and 1 being a platinum the middle = silver/bronze. Silver= the plat one plays more, but the copper plays enough to kep him out of gold/plat. So if anything i think this proves the divisions are more balanced than we thought. This also acounts for his insane amount of points. The copper play keeps him in lower division, but he is obvious a top platinum player in reality = 30-50 points a win and when the copper person plays he is losing 1-5 = he only need 1 for every 7-10 games the copper person plays. He's not getting 35 points a win, more like 6 to 12 points a win against top ten platinums depending on their rating. Since he is getting favored against the top platinums, that means he'd be losing at least 13-14 points per loss, so him staying as silver can't be explained by losing on purpose, and also he wouldn't be this highly rated if he mostly just loses games. | ||

Most likely he got that from his match history thing. | ||

This scenario keeps up for a bit, but then the person going 5-25 stops playing and the person going 25-5 starts to quickly pump the rating, winning most of the matches on the account and getting a lot of points as the underdog. However, the system sees how overall, the account might still be 225 wins with 175 losses and it thinks it has seen enough brutal losses to gold / plat to keep the account right in silver league because the bad player on the account lost almost every time they played an equal or higher quality opponent. Of course you could obtain the same result by simply throwing your matches after you feel you've won to many. | ||

From what I understand it converts your rating to the equivalent for the new league you are moving to. Most people say each league higher is about 200 to 250 points, so if you were 1600 in silver, moving up to gold your new rating would be around 1350-1400. | ||

It's like 80 meaningless divisions where you can play anyone but you're grouped into these meaningless leagues. I understand what they're trying to do (8-man groups for the final tournament) but they should have simply had ONE platinum division, taken the top X players (by whichever criterium they wanted), and seeded them eight-man groups. There's just so many things wrong with BNet 2 like this. I cannot fathom someone sitting at his desk getting pitched this idea and said "yes, this is a good idea - we should do this." Same with the friends / messaging system. It's so bulky. How did they think this was good? I think for anyone who doesn't belong to top-50 separation by Leagues is an Awesome idea. Simple comparison with Iccup ranking style: who's gonna feel better about himself and more motivated to play more - #1 Copper Player who's about to get into Bronze League or 10050003 D- Player? For Best of the Best players they should implement something like top-50 ranking so they can see how they compare to each other, that's for sure! | ||

Maybe looking at his hotkeys someone could figure out who he is. btw the guy is now 2532. nvm it turns out that scsz is a user here (Ghoflz) and he posted a replay of his vs Lite earlier today. Here's his post: To clarify, I'm not actually sczc. I just posted the rep because a friend showed it to me and I thought it was a pretty good game. | ||
