I won a game after the lock and was promoted from Gold to Rank 1 Plat. I assumed every promotion relegates you to Rank 100 of your new league. As I'm relatively new to SC2, may I ask 1) Is that common 2) quite rare, 3) or a bug?
Power overwhelming!

1) It's normal. Every time you get demoted or promoted your points are reset to "spent bonus pool" + 73. Then you will be placed in the appropriate place in your new division. Some divisions are tougher than others, so it depends.

Looking forward to my Diamond -> Gold demotion tonight then. =) I havent played for 40 weeks and have been on a super-super loosing streak now then I restarted. After each game I get questions how I can be in diamond and play like s***. Will be nice to not have those conversations any longer.

I know the feeling, well if you were once in Diamond you'll get back eventually. I've shimmering between Platinum and Diamond all the time. When I'm on top of my game I can't seem to lose against platinum-players no matter what strat or cheese they pull off. In other times it's like I'm playing in slow-motion and being behind every game and just throw away game after game.

Masters is best 2%, and since there are a lot less people playing 3v3 there are a lot less spots in masters. So that might be the reason (?)

kinda wondering why this thread isn't locked now? it's served it's purpose and is no longer really relevent. i'm not trolling or trying to get warned. just an honest question.
Side 1: Why no dominant players with 90% win ratio Side 2: Nerf Side 1

Well, I got promoted as soon as ladder unlocked, but why am I always slightly favored playing against people in the same league? I only win 5 points per win, and I lost like 20 each time I lose. I'm diamond and playing diamond, why am I always slightly favored?

Because you're high diamond.

Prepare for a possible promotion soon!

Actually, its because the system fucked up the promotion for those who were "locked", and now they are at a high tier diamond division, and to fix the high amount of points you have after promotion, the system will force you to lose tons of points until your MMR and your league points are close to eachother. I am getting the very same thing too, and that sucks.

<edit>
holy sh*t this was my 1000th post and I didnt notice it until I had 1003 o_o

The ladder system bugged out for anyone who was recently promoted. As far as I can tell, all you can do to fix the "always slightly favored" bug is to lose a whole bunch of games until your MMR steadies out, or you are demoted.

well. I noticed less people playing because of this. People only play to get promoted.

like any sports. You play for a championship a goal. Imagine the NFL with no superbowl. Who would watch?


like any sports you play to have fun :o
that's how it is with sc2 as well
if it's not like that for people than it should be


no? are you dumb? if you play to only have fun then why would there be a ranking system in the first place?


learn manners, learn to speak properly in the future now mr 8 post
you're lucky u didn't banned



lol, if you're going to correct someone and say "learn to speak properly", YOU might want to use correct english as well.


??
that's irrelevant
i wasn't insulting his grammar or spelling
i was telling him not to be a troll and to not be bm
in other words, when iwas telling him to speak properly i was advising him to be civil

The ladder lock was due to a problem regarding the Grandmaster league, there is a Blizzard post on the subject in the OP, but as it is resolved in all regions it no longer really matters.
