This season we played only our placement match after several months of inactivity, lost it, and got promoted to diamond. ^_^ This seems to indicate that the number of games you've played counts against you when considering you for promotion. So the longer you sit in a league, the harder you can get out of it.

The above would indeed be fine if I was in Diamond league, but I'm in Platinum. Of couse I'm not ready for Master League yet, but I definitely feel I'm well at Diamond skill level.. Yeah, the only thing I can do is keep playing. However, Blizzard has been working on the matchmaking system lately, and I can't stop thinking that maybe there's still some bug present..especially when players cannot be demoted.. | ||

And I am being kind of hypocritical here, but to some extent... why do you really care? If it's matching you against Masters players and you're having fun while being challenged... just play them out. It doesn't really matter what icon it says next to your name. I think it is because if there actually is a input limit reached bug or any other type of bug happening only for some players, then the ranking and promotion system isn't working. Especially if you jumped up 2 or 3 divisions from working hard and want to place into some of these "Sunday Gold/Platinum Tournaments" and prove yourself. How can you go to someone who organized that event and say, "I'm actually Platinum level but it won't promote me." They are just going to laugh in your face and say keep playing, even if there is some type of bug in the system. | ||

It doesn't really matter what icon it says next to your name. Play-wise you're right. But as I'm a competitive player I like the ladder aspect. I've had a lot of fun ranking up on the ladder and as I'm a solid #1 there's no challenge in that anymore. Furthermore, I've set Diamond league as a goal during beta. It may be a symbolical goal as I think I'm already at that level skillwise, but it's just nice to receive the reward for the practise I've put in lately. I'm patient though ..  | ||

One of my main gripes is that I play people in the same league as me who are better than those in the ones above and are seemingly in the same position as me, being stuck in their current league. The most annoying thing is thrashing someone in a higher league, to find out they've only played 5-6 games. | ||

This. I have been stuck in Plat for a while (not sure if I buy the who ladder locked thing or not) I have won 23 out of my last 30 games and i think all but 1 of my losses were to Plats while most of my wins were to diamonds. | ||

It's not like your skill suddenly improves when you get promoted or do you just want to say "yeah, look at me, now i'm in Masters"? | ||

Could be a smurf with a 50-2 win / loss ratio or something like that. | ||

This is not the first thread about the ladder being majorly weird and still I haven't heard any story about someone being promoted. That in itself, on the biggest SC2 forum in the world, makes me think that the ladder might be locked, or atleast really fucked up at the moment. | ||

It's probably easier to disprove than it is to prove - is there anyone here who actually has been promoted in the last few days? Last week I got demoted to Diamond on friday (I was like #41 on my division) and got promoted to Master again on Sunday. I played like 70-80 games from friday to sunday. | ||

I think most people in the thread think the lock happened to accounts with the bug which were hotfixed not too long ago. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/2776511#blog | ||
