I completely agree with the OP but one thing that you have to understand is Blizzard wants the players to feel good about themselves and encourage laddering. If there was just a single division no one would get anywhere because there would be umpteen thousand people ahead of you by just a few points. I say "fuck it and don't spare our feelings" however I am telling you blizzard isn't going to change this any time soon. High lvl players will simply have to rely on third party sites like this to see how they stack up against the global ratings.... I am already amazed the at the shear amount of third party "apps" and we are just in beta! I am sure many neat tools such as this will be highly utilized once launch...

Ladder info should definitely be made easier to access.

I like the league and division system to some extent but it would be better if there was also a global ranking available somewhere (even if only on Blizzard's site).

100% agree - people should show there support and post at the blizzard website

http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=25026573397&sid=5000

but in my honest opinion I don't think blizzard really cares what we want from what I have seen so far

Blizz doesnt mod their forums they ignore the vast majority of the posts and then randomly decide which ones get a blue post in response to causing the users to do more and more ridiculous things trying to entice a blue post. It's terrible I gave up on the bnet forums a long long time ago.

PS: Fix this crap... I'm so confused hell last patch my rank was u... and I couldnt view my own ladder. So not like it's much of a step down for me.

This is a good post but it should be left as a stand alone arguement blizzard frowns on petition posts again though excellent post just the petition aspect of support request is maybe not the best, a humble suggestion.

Don't agree in any way whatsoever, moreover I think petitions are about the furthest thing from getting a response or even a solution out of Blizzard. The league system is perfectly fine as is, the real problem is not being able to communicate with players outside of a match. This problem will be solved by CHAT CHANNELS not changing the leagues. The league system helps divide players into semi-accurate categories, and has been stated by Blizzard countless times there will be the implementation of 'pro' level leagues, invite only or something of that nature. To be honest seeing this many people taking the approach of 'lets whine like little girls' as the method to 'force Blizzard to change the horribly broken leagues' as quite simply the most disheartening thing I've read on a forum in quite some time.
