Same here. #1 Gold on a smurf, 1417 points and 240+ wins against high diamonds / masters. Seems like there really IS something wrong if there are so many people having the problem.

Would be interesting tho to have people write here that did get promoted, just to see if there is any promotion at all.

If it’s not locked and there’s no bug.. then IMO it’s flawed.
The fact that MMR is hidden is a joke. It makes everything everyone is talking about pure speculation. Your ‘best guess’ is that it’s working as it should and you need to lose to move up? Seriously… you need to lose? I get the concept of it needs to stabilize.. but the system should be smart enough to recognize you don’t belong in the league you’re in if you’re playing people two ranks higher.

I agree with the person on here that it seems as though they’re picking certain days to “enable” promotions/demotions… It makes sense because when you get put in a league it seems like all of the other members of that league are placed there within a couple days of each other.. as if it’s grouping players together.. maybe there’s some stupid algorithm involved and if you don't get promoted it's because your grouping doesn't match an already exsisting league.. so it’s waiting for one of those ‘enabled’ days to group you..

who really knows?

Well, so far no one really has proof if it is locked, or if this is how b.net is supposed to work, but i hope that it is flawed for one. I know it is not really a big deal, but i have been stuck in diamond 4v4 for a long time now, not long enough to be proof of the ladder being messed up, but long enough for me to get pretty pissed and wonder how the heck i am not moved up to masters.

I was Diamond Terran, switched to Zerg got demonted to Plat, now I consistently am playing high Diamond/Masters and no rank up. Been at top of my Plat division for...a while. Not sure what's up. If you demote a league are you pretty much stuck there as a punishment of sorts? Not an actual punishment...but perhaps they make it very very difficult to move back up once they "think" they've placed you correctly? Unfortunate. I think you should play in the league in which you must play against, consistently.

The leagues are locked. Just get over it and stop asking for proof. No one can prove that God doesn't exist either, but we all know it's true. Just accept it and wait for Blizzard to announce a fix.

My smurf account is 1300+ Diamond now, always paired up against 700-1000pts masters.

Don't derail the thread by making such a statement like that.

Blizzard also won't announce a fix until it's fixed, assuming this is a problem.... which I think is highy plausible.

Wait WTF? Please don't bring this shit into a thread like this.

Just because I don't want to stir a shit storm, I won't reply to show you how wrong you are.

On topic: Right now I have about a 60% win ratio on ladder over ~150 games played and I thought I'd get promoted to GM soon since I play GM's once in a while but it doesn't seem like it. I hate how I can't view the GM ladder to see whose on the bottom of it to judge if I can get promoted or not.

To me, it feels like getting promoted to GM is purely based on luck once you get to a mid/high masters level. You have to finish a game the moment somebody gets to 180+ bonus points in GM league and be above the lowest MMR player or else you can't get in because there are no free spots. Seems like a silly system to me.

I too believe this is a bug, started my smurf account, and even though I consistently met players ranked top 10 one league above mine, at all times i only got ranked up on league at a time.

i.e when i was ranked in silver i kept meeting top gold, gold i met top platinum and so on, i dont believe this is a bug since it kept promoting me in a rapid pace.

however, when i eventually got to plat, i kept playing top 5 diamond players, and for the past 20 games ive been meeting anything from rank 1 and 2 diamond players and all the way up to top 20 master players with no promotion for over a week.

I now have around 1250 points and obviously im ranked #1 in my plat div.

Something seems to have stagnated during the last week.

Were you looking for this TL feature?




OT: I am actually wondering whether Blizzard knows that this problem exists.

I was starting to wonder the same thing. Me and a buddy started in Silver, then got put in Gold early this month. Kept playing and generally play anybody from plat to diamond usually. We don't lose all the time, but we do go through our stints. We still end up beating plat diamonds a lot thought (sometimes Masters!) Still haven't moved. I just assumed we hadn't played enough games, but we've been #1 in Gold for quite a while now....

The ranking up and down system is seriously ridiculous. It takes WAYYY too many games to go up or down. I also started in bronze on purpose a few months back and it took like 150 games to get to #1 diamond when i was winning around 98%.

I believe there is something odd going on in the ladder. I'm in masters and was matched vs a platinum player who completely obliterated me.

It took me ~30 games to de-rank on my smurf when I gave it away. And then 50 games to get back up to diamond. It can take a looooooooong time to switch leagues if your MMR is clearly way outta whack with your actual skill level.
