I made a thread about this a couple days ago but it closed and I was belittled by the residents of this fine forum. I'm a diamond player that plays exclusively 1k+ masters players, with about a 65% win ratio, and I've been stuck in diamond for weeks under these circumstances.

I think the ladder is locked.. On my 2nd account which is diamond; high golds and high plats are being favored in the match up. These players are by no means there displayed rank and i'd only assume they de-ranked themselves and actually are that of masters/diamond skillset (after games I was checking players ranks and getting pissed because "HOW IS A GOLD PLAYER FAVORED AND RAPING ME??".. then checking the replays after and noticing the skill does not match up to the ranking)

And when I do win/lose I do receive the correct points even if they are in a lower league. (eg. -4 for loss +36 for win).

So the ladder system is definitely broken.

There's definitely something going on. I haven't been promoted in 2 weeks. Top masters player here (1v1, 2v2, etc). I have a team with a friend of mine that we used to smurf. We were working our way up, reached rank 1 platinum, and have been playing top masters 2v2 ever since. That was 2 weeks ago. We have played 100+ wins ever since against nothing but top masters, no promotion.

Something's up.

I wasnt aware of this, Im rank 1 plat, and was doing well against high Diamonds and winning most losing some, there was no doubt I was at 50% win rate. I never got my promotion after doing pretty well, I just assumed I needed to play more games.

I also notice that in iNcontrols match history he faced a rank 1 platinum on ladder. Thats a bit fishy having a GM player face off against a platinum? ..the only things I can think of would be: that person was in masters and got demoted like 5 hours after they played (unlikely), or there is something really fishy going on with the MMR. I have been on a 17 game win streak in 2v2 but it has kept us as rank 1 silver even though we have been beating diamond, plat, and masters.

MMR is fine. The leagues status (promotions/demotions) just aren't working.

It started around the last friday, May 13th, so if you have this problem "for weeks" it's not the same problem. But the promotions/demotions are locked, I don't have a doubt about it.

Guys, its all about FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH.

OT: I've been playing beating plats and golds, and I'm a gold. I think my MMR is very close to the boundary between the two, and when I get a little bit better I'll be in platinum. I feel the leagues are stagnating though, but I think that the sense of tension now will turn into a great relief and sense of accomplishment when the promotions roll out.

Just my 2 cents.
When in doubt, scout.

I just love the people at the beginning of the thread telling the OP that his "MMR confidence must increase" or, "you need to lose some games at the end of a winning streak" like they know what his situation is without an inkling of knowledge of what's going on. I imagine that a lot of threads turn into flame-wars because of posters like this who post answers to questions when they haven't researched at all into the problem or even really read the specifics of the OP's situation to know that their advice isn't helpful.

The ladder is bugged right now. That is probably the best explanation of your situation, OP. Unlike the posters who overreacted and blinded posted irrelevant answers, I give you a source: http://sea.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/127572802

TL;DR: Yes the ladder is bugged. http://sea.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/127572802 Read that.


I don't think EricL, the blue poster in that thread, is directly addressing the league lock. He quoted the "not yet ranked" portion and reiterated that that would be addressed in a client patch. He didn't mention anything about the leagues themselves. This is basically something I wouldn't expect an official answer on, at least until it becomes an overwhelming problem (which it seems it's heading in that direction).

Could this be the same for arranged team and random team promotion too?

Ex: I've been #1 Diamond in my random 4's division for about a week now and I have a good winning % against masters. I know no one cares about team games, but it's a nice way to get your mind off of the 1v1's sometimes.

Serves you right for purposely getting in bronze then cheesing every game. I hope you rot there.

Yesterday, both my new euro/kor accounts got promoted to masters, however not to gm yet. I would imagine that it is still locked, but odd that I got promoted on both accounts and no one else seems to be able to promote.

Could you describe the game? That just might have been me :^)

I've been stomping platinum players left and right recently, and I'm in bronze.

Yesterday? Were these actual promotions, or season 2 placements?

Sorry for bothering but all I want to know is is it possible to get into Grandmaster league after this much time or am I stuck in masters until season ends?

hmmm if you can't get promoted or demoted, I guess that would explain why I've been playing an increasing number of diamonds despite maintaining slightly over 50% win ratio. Playing tip top diamond players every few games had me scared for a moment that I was going to be demoted when in fact, there are people out there who can't get promoted =/.
