this would be good if they reset the MMR then you can switch races after each month and not be playing people that are 2-3 leagues above you

apart from that i have no other real thoughts on this atm, but 2 months doesnt seem like long tbh

Hopefully shorter seasons will mean changes to the ladder maps with every season. We can only pray.

The more frequently they update the map pool, the better.

2 months is too short. And given the maps blizzard has come out with, I have my doubts about whether new maps in the map pool will be a good thing. Also why do some people want MMR reset? If you sucked for a bit and your MMR went down, it'll go back up just by winning your matches you feel you should win.

I really thought 3 months was best especially considering the 2 week lag in setting up GM. That means GM is only up for 6 weeks, and you need 2 weeks of inactive bonus pool to get dropped? Seems like GM will be very static now.

Which I guess is a sort of good thing, certainly means ppl will be playing their pants off the 1st 2 weeks of each season. Idn, do whatever you want Blizzard, lol

Since introducing the ladder season lock and roll process we’ve continued to monitor the length of the seasons and our previous desire to see seasons last around 3-4 months. After gathering data for several seasons now we’ve come to the conclusion that shortening the seasons will better match how most people are playing the game, and support a more dynamic, rewarding, and vibrant ladder experience.

Beginning with season 4, we’re looking for each ladder season to last around 2 months.

We’ll be providing further updates regarding the roll to season 4 in the coming weeks.


Defiantly a good thing i my opnion far to often do you get stuck in the lower league just due ot how the mmr works when looking to be ranked up rather than placed, in all i tihnk this is a good moode for the community as a whole. Though maybe at the same time an annoyance for master/Grandmaster players who want to keep there spot in gm.
Beging as we wish to end.

I don't get how this changes anything about placing and leagues. The first match of each season many call a "placement match" is no placement match. It has the same MMR and league effect as any other match during the season. It's purpose is just to check for inactives, isn't it?

Reset won't change your MMR so it doesn't have anything to do with being promoted.

If they change maps every season it will be good, if not I don't care.

I like it, its good when they change the maps more often. 2 months seems like a good time for a ladder season.

Do you do new placement matches every season?

Also, more pretty badges on my career page.




I laugh at people like you who think every map blizzard makes is terrible.

While it doesn't actually mean anything, it gives people the excitement of the closing and beginning of a new season which is fine by me. At least we know about how long each season will be be.

Just 1. Your MMR carries over through the seasons. The one placement game is more of a 'are you still playing' game than a placement game. (Although it does count towards your MMR so if you are a loss away from a demotion or a win away from promotion it can demote or promote you.)

That means newer maps, hopefully some of those we got now can be removed.

If they continue to change up the map pool each season, then I will be the happiest sc2 player in the world!
