I'm silver and my last 8 1v1 games have been against Plat.. the 15 before that were against gold.
I'm ~56% win ratio.

Considering how most look down on Bronze and silver.. I’d like the shiny icon to show I’ve actually improved since I bought the game.

The question currently in my mind is when this bug is fixed, will we all auto-promote when we log on to battle.net after the patch? Also, I don't have any epic stories about winning tons of 1v1s vs higher leaguers, but my 3v3 random definitely isn't leaguing up when it always did in the past at this point (right around rank 10 in my division currently, with a 70%+ W/L -- in the past, I would be promoted around rank 30-40 when my W/L was in a similar %). You eventually get a feel for when you should be promoted, and a lot of us are pretty sure when we think we deserve a higher league.

Why we angry? I'd be grateful, you can still improve (albeit a bit less, but mechanic are most of it and skill of opponent is irrelevant) without worrying about being roflstomped by perfectly executed cheeses and timing pushes, it'd be like ladder heaven for me if I was stuck in a lower league for a bit.

Also usually it's promotion after one game played, except last month when the bronzies werent being promoted I believe it was automatic? 50/50 here. Either way, won't be long, if your MMR is actually good enough for a promotion.

3 Things...
1) To everyone that doesn't understand why someone would be so set on getting promoted: It is a symbol of achievement that some people use as their motivation to play. Results in a strong sense of accomplishment. If you don't have this and don't care what your league is...great, don't bash on people that do.
2) Please read the Thread before you post the same question that has been posted 17 times making this a very difficult thread to follow.
3) Keep in mind to everyone stating that they are playing some people with higher ranks...people get demoted too. If the person you played has had his mmr drop, he may be getting ready to demote not you getting ready to promote.

Either automatic or after playing one match. So you'll know soon where you stand

Wasn't serious about being angry. It's cool, I can wait as long as blizzard is actually working on the problem. Btw, the problem here is that people aren't facing their leaguemates any longer (even as they remain in the same league). They're facing people in much higher leagues than their own without getting a promotion for their increase in skill.

And yeah, I agree that the other possibility is getting promoted after your first match following the patch instead of an auto-promote.

What's the bet that when the patch goes live, we all crash battle.net due to high demand of promotions / demotions. That would be funny... for me... just cos

You'll get placed in whichever league your MMR falls. It's basically just going to count the same as normal placement. You won't necessarily be re-placed in your old league.

Placement puts you in a league normally, but you won't be able to get out of it until they fix the promotion system, so make sure to win all 5 placement matches. :p

Some people can NOT get promoted, there is definently a bug, cause there are so many people with this exact same problem. But not everyone
