This explains a lot, I was trying to lower my rank to plat so I could start playing terran (as I was growing tired of toss/zerg) and I couldn't understand why they were matching me against silver/gold when I was still in masters.

2) Bonus pool is still increasing at the same pace, normally, that also means that GM players are still being kicked from GM league as soon as they reach 181 bonus pool. But they cannot get into another league after that!


I wonder if that is why the GM page bugged out and why there was the creation of a second GM division...

If demotion was broken but promotion still worked then we would see this behavior. Also the natural quick fix would be to disable promotion until a true solution was found.

It seems that there are new leagues as well obviously to accommodate placement players. Went 4-1 in placement 2v1 and needed one more game to get to rank 1 Diamond in the league everybody else in there had barely played, so there ARE new leagues being made. Once placed we played high diamonds (we were favoured), and mid golds (they were favoured apparently), which is a bit strange to me.

Obviously team modes skew things about MMR wise, but it's still a bit weird at the moment.

I got my account back off my friend, who had me placed bronze 1v1 and I got up to silver in relatively few games, then the patch hit and I've been stuck there ever since. Even tested it by getting a masters friend to win a ton of games on the trot and no change. Then I screwed around to try and even it out by tanking games and bringing my MMR back down a bit, mass collosus drops and ridiculous things, and still no change.

Really badly worded, but might well be my first post. Great community here from a long time lurker!

Okay I re-read the OP and it's pretty wrong. If leagues are locked, they're locked for everyone. Also, the blue post linked in the OP does not address whether the leagues are locked or not, and it would take a pretty enormous leap to reach that conclusion. Please fix it.

League locks have never affected initial placement, so no surprise there.

Well yeah obviously I worded that badly but my point being that there is physical space for people moving around league to league if there is space for placement players.

I don't really know wtf the problem is, whether it's an intentional lock or some screwup as a result of other tweaks to the MMS. My initial thoughts were that it was to prevent people like that drop-hacker (sorry the name escapes me) flooding the higher leagues until they got a permanent fix, but that wouldn't really make sense proportionally. Anybody else got any theories on this?

Well, this explains why I'm not being promoted into Plat despite rolling through several Plat players last night.

Definitely bugged. Been rank 1 platinum playing high diamond/low masters players since my 5th game and I've probably played about 50 by now.

Yeah, same here. I finally can play with my friends on CN server, and we plan to spend our weekend at a local PC bangs to get ourselves in Master.
We were winning 70% for the last 15 games or so and still stuck in Plat. Well, hope that they will auto promote if our MMR is high enough once they sort this out.

That's not how it works though. There is always "more room" for players. Leagues don't have quotas or anything. If your MMR falls within the range of a league, you get placed in that league. It's only league changes that are affected, not initial placement. But, players have to get placed after 5 games and go somewhere, or they'd be in the same situation as GM players who have fallen inactive who are literally in no league at all and not ranked anywhere. Even when the leagues were locked at the end of Season 1, players could still be placed in any league according to their MMR, they just couldn't change leagues.

Just think of it this way the diamond players see your profile and see your are gold. What do they think? You get to troll them for free and fun.

Gold payer had some wins, got some Plat players and then the next match was vs Silver but Silver had 300 points on me and were as good or better than me. So even more info that league dose not matter.

It's pretty hilarious, I have around 1.4k points in my platinum division, playing only vs grandmasters now, I get SO much anger from people when they lose (OMFG HOW CAN I LOSE TO A PLATINUM NOOB?)

The MMR is still working as intended, so I'm assuming once ladder is fixed it will start to adjust everyone's league. So I wouldn't just stop playing the game because you can't get promoted/demoted.
