It is a little more fun to compete with a small group than one where you have to look through 6000 pages just to get an indication of where you are at. It makes the competition feel a little more tight and close-knit. You can still compare your rating if you want to have penis-measuring contests. That said, a pro league would be absolutely awesome, and would abolish any reservations about the system. | ||

Getting to the top of your Division, of 100 people, isn't really telling you a whole lot. Especially since their matchmaking system seems to work so well, I don't see why anyone would be concerned knowing they were ranked 15,000 if all the games they played were well balanced, challenging and fun. | ||

If you mean comparing via points and Win/Loss ratios, then sure, I guess. I wouldn't mind being able to check out how people in Silver, Gold etc. are doing as well. | ||

Tables are way too spaced but the window is smaller??? What's up with that. It's like it's some kind of side feature now noone should really care about... | ||

"you are the most handsome, smartest boy in the world you are great "It's ok mom, you can let me know how bad i am at SC2. I'm not as stupid as those kids in the playground (xbox live). The hundreds of thousands of players that took part in Iccup/wgtour at their primes should be evidence that yes in fact players CAN handle the knowledge that they aren't as good as others. Would i rather be shown that im not good, or have information hidden to protect me from quitting cause im so mad....Some rethinking really needs to happen with this one. I liked this analogy. However, children learn extremely quickly the praises of their parents aren't true while many gamers never fully realize how bad they are. They either justify their losses or only play weaker opponents. Blizzard is fully aware of the effects of their division and ranking system. The way I see it...only casuals would be turned off by a global system while almost no competitive gamer would be turned off by the lack of a global system. I hate repeating this but it's all about money. Blizzard is trying to maximize the people playing the game. | ||

Actually they already had a system exactly like that and - except for the smurfers which wouldn't be a problem anymore - it worked wonderfully. Warcraft 3's ladder only had the top 1000 players in it and that was far more than enough to hold everyone important. Back in 2005 or so before Blizzard screwed it up in an attempt to fix something that wasn't broken in the first place and levels still meant something the players who weren't in the top 150 or something like that also just compared each other via their ladder levels and everyone was happy. | ||

How could I have missed this? I don't know... PS I was pleased to see how many people from teamliquid were ranked so high. Jinro being 24th in all of Europe is awesome! | ||
