Bonus pools exist to encourage more active play, not to encourage players to stop playing at the end of the season and save up bonus so they can have an advantage over everyone else in the new season. That would be an atrocious system. A new player starting in the wrong time is punished, or am I missing something? Why have bonus for new players at all? Hon encouraged is the new player that gets his whole bonus pool reset to 0 before even being able to use it? | ||

Like the top player should be getting lots of points in the beginning of the season while the lower players get less? Otherwise the players who play the most in these two weeks will get GM, not the best players.. Well MMR carries over from s1 - so the guys at the very top of masters right now, will be placed back into masters in s2 and therefore be in a great position to push for GM league 2 weeks in. | ||

Im in a kind of close position to stay top 8, and not feeling well today - so want to get away with minimum games to cover myself, and certainly dont want to be playing through to 5am or something to secure it >_< what does it change in season 2 being top 8 in season 1 ? | ||

No the leagues are determined from the ACTIVE pool. Suppose we have 100 players. 2 masters, 18 diamond, 20 plat, .... and half of each division goes inactive. We have active 1 master, 9 diamond, 10 plat, .. so on and so forth but in the divisions we still have 2/18/20/20.... because the inactive players will show up. Now imagine we get 50 new people who are all strictly worse than the lowest player. We again have 100 active players. The tops of each division will get moved on up the chain. The number of active players in each division will still be 2/18/20/20... but the active+inactive number in each division will be 3 (2 active 1 inactive)/ 27 (18 active 9 inactive)/ and so on. The only way for people to get mass demotions are for all of the inactive players to come back to activity, if this were to happen the lowest 1/9/10/10/10... players would be demoted down. I suppose it's possible that there will be increased activity from previously inactive players because of the reset and as a result there will be some demotions but it is not as bad as if blizzard made the league cutoffs based on active+inactive membership. | ||

Everyone has the same total (spent+unspent) bonus pool, it's based on time since the last ladder reset (or start of the ladder for season 1). So it resets to zero for everyone. The reason new players were getting huge bonus pools recently was because the overall bonus pool had built up before they had joined. Nobody will be disadvantaged by the reset. | ||
