EPTI don't think any of these mean anything if it's per division, you'll have hundreds of players with the "Top 8" milestone for each rank. Ah well.

Just feel like there's so much other stuff they should spend time on when it comes to improving Bnet2.0 (Multiuser-replays etc) It's not that bad. It motivates a lot of people to ladder more which is a good thing for the community in general. I personally am incredibly motivated to ladder again and I haven't played in months. And consider that the people who make icons are artists and not programmers who add features to the game. So if Blizzard has a few artists without a job, why not make them do something useful? | ||

To get top 8 in my division, I'd need well over 4000 points. To get top 8 in other divisions I'd only need around mid to low 3000s. This really hurts if top 8 basically means being top 20 in the world (like it does for some divisions). | ||

EDIT: Imagine if you started a new ladder (automatically the first in a new ladder with zero points lol). Over time, your icon should change to reflect whatever rank you end up taking over. Of course, that's just me thinking what would make sense (imo)... I don't know what's actually going to happen. | ||

Yeah that makes sense, didn't think about the placement position. Well, I better get to work! | ||

It isn't any easier in lower leagues...the top person in my league (silver) is 2500, having played 500 games and (I'm guessing) used up his bonus pool. I have around 750 right now... -_-;; | ||

Yeah sometimes beeing in a division without a noteable player has its perks. I´m rank 3 with like 3.4 k points. There are divisions where you would be like rank 50 with that. Glad that season 1 finally ends. I hope that seasons won´t last so long anymore though. | ||

I have around 750 right now... -_-;; I think hmunkey is talking about the fact that different divisions technically have different variations in points for the top spots (and the leaderboards in general). One silver division might have the top 10 players all with 3000 points or more, whereas another silver division may not be even close to that. Therefore, if you're *lucky* enough to be in the latter division (if you're only looking to get that "higher level icon") then it looks like you're better than others who have more points than you in the former division (because you have a higher icon). It's exactly why you say "I have X points in this League" instead of saying "I'm Rank Y in this League", when explaining how good you are. The former is universal; the latter isn't. We just have to realize that these different badges are arbitrary. | ||

If these rewards are a replacement to our win/loss ratio, that wouldn't be nice.  | ||

My only gripe... I wish the leagues had more players in them. 500 or 1000. Rank 1 milestone would be pretty sweet too. Overall, a great addition. GJ Blizz! | ||
