As long as they update the map pools im cool with it. Wish I could play more than 50 1v1 games per season as of late

I'm completely OK with it. It makes more map rotation, removes inactive players, and makes sure everyone is where they belong league wise
People who want power shouldn't have it.

Too short imo what do i really ladder for when my points constantly get set back to 0? And then all the high master ppl for example get +40 or sth when they win, just unfair. I really want to see where i stand :/

Ugh I just want to be rid of the stupid bonus pool in Masters+. Like over half the division always has people with tons of unused bonus points which makes the division competition seem like a farce. Basically just being active puts you in the top 25 of the division (probably higher below masters) and then you have to manually go through and check everyone's bonus pool to see where you really stand.

What's the point of seasons at all aside from fixing the problem of point inflation?

If there were some Bnet tournaments associated with the seasons, then sure.

I have really looked into or thought about the cons of this, but the pros seem good. Although just as a pyschological thing 3 months would of been really nice.

I want to see GMs promoted and demoted daily. Just based on MMR.

I think that would be very messy, at least with the current system where you cannot be demoted unless you play a game.

strangely enough, i only ladder crazily at the beginning of a season, and near the end, to try to reach the rank i want displayed for next season. Sucks for those who want to bask in their glory for longer times, but it definitely seems to imply (for me at least) that I'll be playing more often lol.

Hmm, so you can't be demoted from GM if you're playing regularly?

Edit: You can get demoted from GM (unlike from other leagues) for not playing regularly as far as I know.

I agree with this change, although I do wish they'd also show losses for lower leagues again. Especially since every 2 months now it basically resets your win/loss stats

Currently you can only be demoted if your bonus pool exceeds a certain limit (I think it's the equivalent of 2 weeks inactivity) or when the season ends.

Good change I think. But I hope they rotate maps accordingly, and bring back Metalopolis!

Uhhh shorter seasons will make all divisions more competitive, not less.

Shorter seasons = less bonus pool

less bonus pool = players more equally measured against each other

The longer that the season goes on, the more that bonus pools screws up actual ranking. So shortening the season is good.

This is a step towards removing the bonus pool entirely. I think it's tough to argue against that.

On one hand I like this since maps will/can be rotated more often, aswell as any small changes that need to be made. On the other hand though there is nearly no opportunity to get alot of points, so you can really see a division between ladder players, max amount maybe 1500 in 2 months? Will see...


this for sure ladder map pool is huge for me ... honestly I wish it was tweaked/changed at least once a month.... but 2 is definitely better than 3

lets just hope for some GSL maps
