Less stagnation(sp?) in the rankings. I think it helps with the ¨ladder anxiety¨ issue

I'm fine with 2-3 months if that means they add new ladder maps each season which they said they would do. So hopefully xelnaga can finally get the boot off ladder and we get some better maps.
When I think of something else, something will go here

This makes sense with how the new Career page on our profiles is laid out. 2 months is fine, since this helps with bonus pool too.

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.

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.


He's not arguing against shorter seasons. There's actually no mention to season length in his post at all. He's just saying the whole bonus pool thing is stupid.

Two months sounds good to me, it's like an eternity in the video game realm.

I want fresh vibrant new blood in the map pools if they're going to give more seasons, maybe even start a map rotation with older maps removed such as Metalopolis.

And better maps --;

maybe take some off the new NASL open map pool.

2 months is ideal.

I like this idea. With shorter seasons, I'd love to see rotation of maps. No reason why some good maps can't crop up once in a while again. Return of metal? With a short season, it'd be nice to even see some crazy stupid maps -> Island map? It's only around for 2 months and if people really don't want to play on it, they can veto it. It would be nice to see 1 randomly weird map each season.

Shorter seasons are fine.

How about some 2v2 maps that aren't smaller than most of the 1v1 maps? That would be great to just get more map rotation in general. That way too if they mess up and have some bad maps it wouldn't be the end of the world since you'd just have to deal with them for a short period of time before getting something new.

The season legnth doesn't really bother me but it would be nice to see how close you were to a promotion or if they could at least show us our MMR like it is in WoW

Well IIRC David Kim said that they will probably remove close spawn positions. So thats a good step.

i'd prefer 4 seasons a year .In a two months timeframe some of us won't have enough time to ladder and go up the ranks...
my 2 cents.

I like this change. It'll keep things fresh. Also, I like to play on new maps and shorter seasons = more new maps (hopefully).

I like the change. Right now if you want to start laddering, but it's several months into the season, the bonus pool is so large that you have to play a truly ridiculous amount of games to rank up.

Basically, I dislike the whole bonus pool concept, so this works well because it somewhat downplays the bonus pool.

Two seems quick--especially considering the two-week lock at the end of the season as some others have mentioned. Why not 2.5 months? That would allow for the 2 week scramble to GM at the beginning and the 2 week lock at the end.

I get their reasoning. I can't imagine this making or breaking my experience of the game.
