Hopefully blizz will take notice. having such a fragmented ladder really detracts from the competitive aspect of the game, trying to promote competition while equalizing everyone and making everyone feel like they are just as important/skilled as everyone else defeats the purpose of competitive ladder play. I am also completely confused by the addition of a "diamond" league and removal of copper (how does diamond even fit in among the list of metals?). Seems like blizz is indeed trying to make everyone feel important by giving them all special titles. You HAVE to stop thinking it's a global ladder that it's fragmented. Is the baseball "ladder" fragmented and player are being detracted from being competitive because of it? Absolutely not. Why would a small league player want to be compared to a major league baseball player anyway? They are in totally different skill park, so there is no point to compare them. The closest thing is multiple ladders systems running simultaneously, and all those ladders have people of similar skill level. If anything it promotes competitive vibe. | ||

after all to see where we are in the entire league we already have the ratings. Also I think that once you hit Diamond you should get the "real" competition and not a decaffeinated version , top players should be all together battling for the no1 , and why not replays of top players in the news section (XXX BEATS YYY AND TAKES Europe No1!!!) would be cool ^^. | ||

Yes, I'm saying that i don,t think an universal ladder ranking would not help promote competition, like I said, the skill range in Starcraft is very wide, there is no point to compare between leagues. A diamond player don't have to judge himself to other leagues, so a global ranking is useless to him. And I care as much about my "global" ranking as a random hockey street player enthusiast is interested to see how he is placed compared to the NHL. There is no point really, they are in a whole other skill level. | ||

Yeah even though I'm for the league system, which makes a lot more sense than a big fat single ladder everyone is in, divisions could see a rework. | ||

I think a combo of leagues/divisions + the global rankings would do very well for the game, how exactly it can be combined I do not know, but I'll leave that up to your capable hands... | ||

If I could choose between being #1 gold in the meaningless current system or #15097 gold in an absolute one where each league ranked people in order of rating, then I would choose the latter every single time. | ||
