But did they say they that they won't make an overall ladder ranking in the final release?

I feel like such a nerd for knowing what that means, but ROFL.

Also if Blizzard made a decent ladder system, users like the OP wouldn't need to make these sites in the first place. But yeah removing identifiers screwed a lot of people over.

They have commented several times in support of their current division system, suggesting that an overall ladder ranking would not be as useful.

They have also mentioned their pro league a few times as a prestigious ladder, but the details on how it will be implemented remain hidden. It's likely they haven't decided exactly how they want to do it yet. My hope is that with a little pressure from the community they will get it right and solve most of the global rankings problem. Without that pressure, though, I fear that they will simply continue along their current path of information hiding.

Agreed... but probably not a simple solution here... they left the leveling system of war3 for a reason... but divisions isn't the best as we all agree here.

I can't say I agree with this more, it had me so up in arms briefly that I wrote a piece on it.

They haven't said shit about what the pro league thing will be though, so I have my fingers crossed that this is all in vain and that league will address our problems. Who knows!

Axing identifiers is stupid, I always felt that they were perfectly reasonable way to avoid harassment for more famous players, because they could keep it secret. I don't want random people to know my email, real name and other things when I add them to my friendlist, if I wanted them to know, I'd tell them. The divisions are exotic, but still somewhat decent solution, as long as ratings between leagues would be comparable, which they aren't.

ok so im just looking at blizzards point of view

but when it comes to competive players like us you kind of know how you rank due to the tourneys i.e i don't mind not knowing how good i am compaired to the other <25 rank plat players
then i play in a aus/nz torney and i know where i stand


or would you like to see that the plat players are ranked in a "REAL" number but the rest be unchanged

but hay thats just me

i dont mind the divisions as i actually find them to be kinda fun. But there should be someway of finding out if im better ranked than my friends. Mb just remove the bonus pool. then the score would be even for all the divisons.


I agree with this. The divisions are fun but please give us the option to see where we rank against everyone else outside of my division.

Yeah I think having the top league have only one division would be a fine solution, assuming they also fix the duplicate names problem so we can tell who is who. Tournaments are mathematically a much less accurate (fewer games to get data from) way of determining skill levels than a well designed ladder so I'm not satisfied with that.

I agree with you Gibybo. Personnally I really enjoyed the Warcraft3 Ladder that was even better than the previous SC2 ladder. Your website was like this and that's why enjoyed it. I hope you will be able to continue.
