You guys know that, regardless of what happens during ladder buggy-ness, they'll always say MMR isn't affected. Do you know why?

1) If points, promotions, and MMR were all affected, people would just stop playing the ladder en-masse. Not only does it look bad, but it would cause major problems with the match-making system giving a bad experience to potential new players or might cause existing players to not recommend it to friends.

2) We have no way of verifying.

Just like when the ladder was locked last time after they supposedly "fixed" it, so many people just assume what Blizzard is saying is correct and honest.


I agree with this guy.


I agree also, mind = blown.

Okay then mass TL poll: Has anyone ever gotten promoted after winning a game and receiving 0 pts?

Surely 1 player out of the thousands on TL was due for a promotion (or demotion).

really confused when i get the first game against someone who's favored in about 2 weeks (previously i've not even had the other guy as much as slightly favoured), and then get +23 by 4 gating him. i check his record and it's his second placement match, him being 1-0 against someone else also in placement. why the hell would he ever be favored?

I tanked a bunch of games in a row last when it wasn't giving points to see if MMR was affected. All of my previous opponents for the last 20+ games were all highish Diamond. After tanking around 20-25 games I was being matched up vs. Platinum and even some Gold. In conclusion, MMR still seemed to be working properly, but I don't know about promotions/demotions.

Have they fixed the points problem yet?

Hopefully they will get a fix soon, it must be frustrating for them as well with the same ladder issues coming up over and over.

Nice to see some evidence, but the simple fact is we just don't know for sure that promotions and MMR are working properly for everyone.

Personally, I'm just going to wait it out until we get an official confirmation that everything is fixed.

Why would they lie about this? I haven't seen any instances where they deliberately misrepresented bad news. Often, they announce stuff that many people don't even notice.

Yea earlier today about 11 hours or so ago i was getting points, now im not getting any points for wins or losses, and it is showing someone favored all the time

Wierd though sounds like this was a problem a couple of days ago, but i was definitely getting points earlier today strange.

I'll point you to the "stealth lock" earlier this month that was causing a lot of people to not be promoted.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=233783

No official word was ever given. Only way we knew about it was because Excal consulted the powers that be and got back to us. They then only replied to a random thread on the EU forum saying it was fixed.

They have a business to protect....I'm sure they don't like to admit their inability to maintain a relatively simple ladder system given how much money and expertise they have.

so? that's completely possible. you get promoted by moving average not by absolute difference between your league and your mmr.

They often don't respond on certain issues, but they've never, to my knowledge, intentionally stated something false. Totally different thing.

Is anyone else lagging this morning? I'm getting insane stuttering/lag, nothing else is using the internet, and I even restarted my pc. I was playing totally fine the past two days until the past 6 hours or so and it has gotten worse since they fixed ladder.
