My post was correct and truthful after all and mods just bashed me for false info and closed my post. Now I understand how the mods react. | ||

Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like they're ready to patch things so the fix is probably at least a week or so off. | ||

At this point, I have stopped looking at a person's league after a match because after 10 days or whatever, it's like trying to figure out where someone lives now by looking at data which told you where they lived 10 years ago. Sure, for some people it's going to be accurate because you have a general sense of where they were 10 days ago, but the data is so obsolete at this point I think trying to determine where you stand by looking at where people were 10 days ago, just by simple probability a non insignificant number of people are going to be wrong. On top of that, some people have a funny way of discarding information they don't like. So if someone plays 6 plats, 1 diamond, and 3 golds, they think they are playing mostly plats and diamonds, which is true, but I wouldn't draw any conclusions from that. I'm sure that some people are quite right that they should be promoted, and it wasn't my intention to dispute that. But I think that it's funny and ironic that EVERYONE (or at least everyone who posts) thinks that. Edit: it's sort of like that thing where something like depending on what specifically you ask, 70-90% of respondents will believe that they are better than average drivers etc. The people who are likely to be demoted after the unlock are unlikely to come to a thread like this and complain about it not happening sooner are they? The only people I've seen posting to that effect are portrait farmers or people wanting to demote to learn a new race. Checking opponents match history can help to establish where the error in placement most likely lies. I have been doing this for months. Using the average rank of your opponents' opponents to judge their skill can avoid the errors associated with locked leagues as relatively few people change leagues in any given fortnight and using the process iteratively can be used to evaluate anomalies. | ||

My post was correct and truthful after all and mods just bashed me for false info and closed my post. Now I understand how the mods react. Don't be dumb. You posted a thread called "ladder promotion bug fixed!!" which is misleading in itself, then an equally vague link to a blue post where they're looking into it and somehow your analysis in the OP is "by tomorrow probably". Ares was right to close that thread. Besides, this is the thread where we're discussing the league lock. | ||

I've been facing plats and diamonds since I got my new computer on Friday and I'm in masters league. Maybe my MMR isn't horrible enough to get me demoted..../sigh I wish I could be one of those people whining about not being promoted--would be much better than being scared of being demoted to diamond. | ||

OT: I do not believe that the bug is as serious as people think, as they are still getting MMR Luke they were at the end of season 1. I also do not believe everyone on this thread is telling the truth, as it is highly unlikely that there are suddenly hundreds of players that are suddenly playing 3 leagues higher. Although it is possible. I myself have an 80% win rate since reaching gold. | ||

You mean like this? + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/dISzW.jpg) It's probably more common than you think. In my case I just switched from Zerg to Terran (not trying to start a balance discussion, I was just terrible at playing zerg). I was getting super pissed that I didn't get promoted, I actually decided to stop playing SC2 cause of this until I saw this thread, lol. | ||

The problem is most likely server side and we'll see the unlock within the next 2 days, separate from the actual patch. | ||

Your games are not getting lost! EDIT: Ladder is locked David Kim (dayvie) has also said to some people that the ladder is indeed locked due to a bug. Original post: Hello, i was wondering if anyone is experiencing what i am? I'm high plat, playing vs high masters, no rank up. I know what you're thinking, just keep playing and you will rank up eventually. Well me and my friend are smurfing on other accounts. In 2v2 we lost all 5 of our matches so we could be placed in bronze. We've been doing 3 roach rush w/ speedlings and we have won ALOT of games, like 95% win ratio We are still in bronze and we are playing high diamond / master teams. Also, i took some quotes from the battle.net forums.;; + Show Spoiler + As noted in the patch notes, some players were being disconnected when they tried to view certain leagues and ladders pages. As a temporary fix, Blizzard set those pages to display, "Not yet ranked", instead of the actual page. However, as a side effect of this temporary fix, players who were affected can no longer be promoted at least from platinum to diamond. As evidence, I am rank 1 in platinum by 200+ points for 2 weeks, have won 15 games in a row against diamond and master players, most of them high diamond. Blizzard has promised to fix the grandmaster viewing issue in the next patch, but I don't know if they are aware of the promotion bug. + Show Spoiler + This is definitly a bug, I know a few people stuck in plat and gold, playing all master league. There is no promotion, this is 100% glitch that NEEDS to be fixed. + Show Spoiler + I am also having the same problem with my 4's. we are in bronze. rank 1. we vs. Diamond/master teams. we win all the time. and no promotion. Also ive been hearing stories of people in diamond or whatever trying to derank to bronze (portrait farmers, want to try new race etc) and losing 50+ games on purpose with no derank. I didn't see a post of this, i searched and stuff. is this a known bug? or am i just dumb and missing something completely? Thanks! If any of you noticed, Blizzard issued this notice the day after PiLLaGe got dropped out of Grandmasters League due to 180 bonus points! It's sad that Blizzard was unable to force PiLLaGe out of Grandmaster besides lock up his account and wait 2 weeks. Sigh~~ =( | ||
