Most D+ players would thrash 95% of b.net players in 1v1s on reasonable maps. Now that we have Battle.net 2.0, EVERY SC2 player is in one place, so those D+ players really do deserve to be platinum, as they're still better than 95% of other players.. I'm so glad you pointed this out. So many people do not acknowledge the skill levels of lower Iccup players. As a low iccup c- player, i put a decent amount of work into getting where i got to in BW, and am proud of that achievement. | ||

I never said that it was all i'm saying is that when you have so many divisions the illusion that you're any good is gone when you move up in your division as they don't reorganize the divisions and make them even quality etc when you lack exclusivity such as rank which it seems rather easy to get up to plat rather had to get demoted you lessen the quality. | ||

Once the game comes out I am sure the skill level of each division will seem a lot more static. | ||

Like I would be playing at B- making my usual mistakes and people would be shocked how bad I am, even if 99% of the viewers can't do it. It's the same here; running #1 in platinum, but being shockingly bad at the game. Lol, I'm 7th in Divison 3 Platinum post reset, with a 150ish pt gap between 7th and 8th place. 51-36 (ICK) and I was C- (more of a high D+ user) at best in Brood war. I think it's too viable to mass game to get high rated. Although I don't wanna take away too much credit from myself, I did beat some tough players to get there :p | ||

I need to reiterate, the system still takes your ELO into account, and you're matched against any player on bnet with similar skill, independent of division/league. So if you're really high in your league you will get matched with similar elo players from other divisions, and the competition is still there. Just check websites that mantain a ladder with the ratings of players from all plat divisions and you know what your place is. A good suggestion might be to have this exact feature officially added to bnet. | ||

I am like ranked right under Tasteless in plat but I am pretty much fucking terrible at the game. Hows that? I imagine tasteless plays more on asia due to lag? | ||

I feel like gold division should be similar to that of like c+/b- of sc1 while play is more like B+ and up... Also I think bronze and copper players are pretty damn close in skill... So maybe move it down even more and make silver players more equivalent to what C- and C would have been. | ||

Something with a name that says you-cant-enter-unless-sc2-is-your-life....-almost. Maybe something like...Unobtanium Adamantium will be better I prefeer the pgt/iccup rank system... | ||
