I'm a 1.4k platinum eagerly awaiting a diamond promotion for some time now. I'm just curious how many points some of you lost when going from platinum to diamond. I went from gold 950~ to platinum 720~, is the drop about the same for diamond? (about 25%) or is it entirely variable?

Obviously different people have different experiences, just looking to see some actual numbers.
I'm not going to cut my hair any time soon. I'm gonna let it grow out - I'm gonna become a shag monster. Shaggy monster, I guess, is what I should have said. I will ALSO be a shag monster. day[9] the shag monster, who plays both games and girls *snap*

You are placed against people based on your ELO rating. This rating is indirectly represented by your number of points. Your league placement is also based on your ELO rating. People lose points when they get to diamond because they're nervous. The players you're playing against are the exact same pool of players you were playing the match before you were promoted to diamond.

This was specifically mentioned at Blizzcon as well. Jumping in leagues doesn't change the players you play, it's not staggered.

That's not what he's talking about at all. When you get promoted to a new league, your points drop. It's not about losing or wining games after the promotion. As far as I've heard, the exact amount isn't consistent.

Just a slightly off topic question, would only keeping about a +15 w/l in plat keep me from ever getting into Diamond?

I was at 1.5k platinum and got promoted yesterday. I started with almost exactly 300 points less, around high 1.2k.
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy

From 1282 in Plat to 1169 in Diamond (look pretty much normal, I was playing most of the time against 1k2 rated diamond when I was in plat)

2100 bronze, with a 90 game win streak, to around 400 diamond, at the time when 1200 was considered high.

800 diamond to 600 platinum (messing around). Back... 1400 Platinum to 1200 Diamond. All same week.

That's weird, because 0 diamond gets about 400 points as bronze if demoted.
