I noted that Ret went from about 2300-2400 plat to ~1300 diamond when he was promoted yesterday or so.

Ha I feel for you man. But you should cheer up! I think we've agreed upon that your MMR doesn't get altered when you get promoted, so if you stay at the level you're at now, you'll eventually end up at a level corresponding to who you're facing.

True, guess I'll have to play more tho I'm so lazy!

When I was promoted I was plat 250. I dropped straight to 0 diamond.
And then there was that zergling. With 50 of my SCV's as kills.

I am not sure on the exact numbers but I went from slightly above 300 plat to slightly above 200 Diamond. I didn't lose very much - but I didn't have much to lose to start with. Since there seems to be a pretty wide variance, maybe it has to do with where the match making system expects you to end up and what your remaining bonus pool is.

I got promoted today, with 1350 points. I even race switched a couple weeks after getting to Plat, from Toss to Zerg. (this was at the beginning of September) Still, I stayed in Platinum and made my way up to Diamond. 217-196 is W/L ratio.

So what is the thing that you should really take notice of, which league you're in or how many points you have?

I didn't lose any points, but I got promoted early. Something like

287 plat -> 287 Diamond.

I went 5-0 in my placement matches, so maybe that made a difference? Honestly I was surprised I wasn't placed in Diamond right away. But I really have no clue how that all works.

You can't get placed in diamond straight away from placement matches. I'm a bit surprised you didn't lose any points when promoted. What was your record like post placement matches before you were promoted?

Pretty bad. After the placement matches I went 10-9 for a record of 15-9. Oddly enough I performed better once I got into diamond.

I went from 1.3k platinum to 1.2k diamond. I think the amount of points you keep when you get promoted depends on how good you play against equal pointed diamond player, if you know what I mean....

Weird, I wonder why I lost some points and you didn't. Things went/are going roughly the same for me. Around the same point total when promoted with about the same ratio. What kind of players are you getting matched up against? I sort of think it has to do with remaining bonus pool and where you're expected to end up. If you're getting matched against slightly higher opponents it would make sense.

Edit: Just averaged the rating of my last 10 opponents and came up with about 1450. If my little theory is right yours should come out just a bit higher.

Just to add my own input (since I started this silly thread) I finally broke diamond after floating in the top of platinum for ages (nearly 2 months? Top 10 the entire time?)

1840 plat -> 1710 diamond

Woo!
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*

Gosh I hope this is what's in store for me.

I went from 1300 diamonds to about 1500 plat, then ranked up to 1800+ very easily. Been in the top 100 platinum in world since.

I need to play a lot more so I can get my promotion back, darn it.
