Interesting; I don't remember seeing this ever before and I've been playing since beta. Does this mean other people are only being the favored ones? | ||

Does this mean other people are only being the favored ones? it happens every season. they do this to make sure your pts will somewhat equal your MMR faster=> so that higher mmr players will get higher up in the pts scale/ladder faster. it will say oopponent is favored or slighty depdning how many games you've played; on opponents screen it can say anything from "teams even; to opponent favored; but whatever the screen says; its not correct most the time since MMR / pt system still in the "new season phase for your account" | ||

I obviously got rolled in all placement matches. I have been getting faced up against silvers and golds and winning most of the time, but I stopped playing 1v1 about 2 seasons ago because it isn't even fun anymore. Every game is just a cheese strategy of people trying to climb the ladders. Custom games are way more fun than ladder anyways, a lot less cheese goes on. | ||

so is the Bonus Pool calculation still accurate? Season 6 is running for 6 Weeks and some Days now, so Bonus Pool in diamond should be around 350 points at the moment. When i look at people with 0 wins to calculate my adjusted points, they have 571 bonus Pool... is that the known bug and they did not relog since season beginning or what is that? Im trying to figure out what i need to do to get promoted... http://sc2ranks.com/eu/2420465/KroN Seems im stuck in Diamond forever unless i dominate Masters League and win like 70-80% against masters players and never loose to diamonds which is not possible at the moment  EDIT: got ptomoted! YAAY :D | ||

SO RETARDED!!!! That's not how promotion works. To get promoted you have to consistently play better than the worst diamond league players, consistently meaning well over 50%. Or, you can get promoted at the end of the season. Note that the league of your opponent doesn't directly tell you what their skill rating is right now, because they may well just not have been demoted yet. | ||

Doesn't matter how low is the MMR of your opponent, if you have less than 60 adj. points(I am not sure about the exact number, but it's around 45-75), your opponent will be "favored". How do I know? A bronze friend of mine get into platinum with his placement matches... he is still platinum, but he is facing bronzes already. He wins and he gets 15 points... against a bronze (a normal bronze, not a "platinum-not yet promoted bronze"!). That is the explanation of why everyone sees everyone as favored in the beginning of the season, doesn't matter the league/division, nor it matters the opponent MMR! Additionally, it seems the system doesn't like to discount more than 12 points from players, when Blizzard was trying the new system I won against some diamonds (I am plat) and I noticed I won 17 points or something, but they'd lose only 12 points, it seems the system has some interesting internal rules that I didn't know before (it wasn't there in S1 nor S2 for sure, when did they fix the Rank S diamond bug again? it might have started there). This is important to take note, because that means you can't imply your opponent has "platinum" MMR just because he yielded you 15 points... he is still bronze or whatever, it doesn't matter till you make 60+/- adj. points.... also you can't imply you have diamond MMR just because that diamond player only lost 12 points from you. =( | ||

I don't buy your argument. The system wants you to have a number of adjusted points that matches your MMR. Multiple players in the same division may have MMRs that range over a few hundred points, and each one will have a different equilibrium point where they get 12 points for wins and losses. | ||

That's old facts my friend. Just stalk some bronze level player at platinum and look for yourself, there isn't much to argument, I am just telling what I saw and the obvious conclusion, I could screenshot for you if you can't find a player like these to stalk... | ||

Edit: OK I re-read your original message and I think I understand better what you're talking about now, and I agree that you probably explained what's going on correctly. The reason for this is that when a player is in too high a league, since their points can't go any lower than 0 (which corresponds to adjusted points that are way too high for their MMR) they'll get fewer and fewer points for wins and lose more and more points with every game as their MMR drops, since the system thinks their points are too high but the point value can't go any lower. This would limit their ability to use up their bonus points, among other things, and would lead to a discouraging pattern of losing huge numbers of points for a loss but earning very little for a win. Eventually, the player should be demoted, but until then, assuming it works how you describe, they'd be bouncing around in the low two digits for displayed points. | ||
