I just got a 1v1 smurf account I put into bronze by DCing to do some laddering with zerg (I main Terran). I was wondering why I don't have a promotion after being 30-1 (I lost one because of power outage t.t) ... lawl

lol at people lying in this thread.

99.9% of battle.net players would never go 26-4 out of 30 games ever. I'd prop bet this with any degenerate gambler that isn't a sponsored player.

What justification do you have for accusing people in this thread of lying? Are you just trolling?

I went 18-0 by smurfing on a friend's bronze league account. Does that count?

It's easy to go on massive winning streaks with prearranged teams since the builds/strats are optimized as opposed to playing randoms

give me a brand new account(or used) and i will go and do it. The system wont pit me against GM players in 30 games, like my current one, and im not a sponsored player. Though some extra cash for MLG Columbus would be nice.

I said it was an estimate and also i play in LA where the level is not that high. But indeed ive been winning vs GMS all week long.
I guess the question or the topic is really about promotions and demotions which i hope they fix soon.

Pretty sure any average player can go 26-4 on a smurf account depending what server. At 30-2 on europe, I was still playing mid level grandmaster players, which are basically 55-60% average players. On USA Server, I would imagine 50-0 being easy.

That being said, do they have a time frame for when this will be fixed?

Because the mmr would never create matchups that would allow you to win at that ratio. LOL harder at people saying they'll smurf an account and do it. Well no shit. ANYONE can do that. Thats not even close to being legit so why the hell would I bet with someone who has an account with 0 games on it.

Some of you people will struggle a great deal growing up.

My friend let me borrow his account and I've won ~30 games in a row or so bronze rank one playing against Plat players on that account, was wondering what the cause for this was, I guess I found the answer.

After playing mostly custom games, I jumped into my first game for Season 2. I lost against a top ranked gold player, and I was previously ranked gold. I was oddly promoted to mid-plat. MMR might be glitched. The top gold may have had a high MMR, but the system wouldn't allow him to be promoted.

I have a huge winning streak in gold against all platinum players, and have not gotten promoted yet. The ladder being locked would explain this, I was very confused.

I went 36-6 on a brand new account, and I won all 5 placement matches (still didn't meet any grandmasters until the ~40th game or so)

It would be quite easy to go like 50-0 on an account that had been played in bronze league or so I suspect.

What bothers me the most in this situation is why the Blizzard is not officially announcing that the ladders are locked.

Sure before people realized that the ladders were locked it was in PR sense probably a good idea not to announce it. But now when this information is available in several places I feel it is bad PR to be silent about it. For example there are several threads about this in Bnet forums for many regions. By not announcing it now makes me wonder if the bug for which they made the decision is so severe that they want to hide it for all costs.

Edit: replaced "all regions" with "many regions" as went only through US, EU and Sea forums.
