It takes like 20 games to get a new account into master league assuming you're not losing a bunch. while it's true that a large map is typically going to be better for a good player when playing a weaker player, the way the ladder works relatively quickly the newbs should be playing the newbs, in which case they both suck at macro  Why is it that you only ladder if you have bonus pool? Considering everyone receives the same bonus pool, it doesn't really have any effect on your rating... Also, if everyone had 50% winrate with no bonus pool, they wouldn't end up equivalently ranked because of MMR meaning some people are favored vs others :O. | ||

Think of it this way tho. With a 2 month season they can drop bad maps quicker. If they made new maps which are good they won't get replaced next season so we will be able to play them longer. | ||

It doesn't make sense. Why do they only play for the first 8 weeks? Is it because it's a new season or because of something else? | ||

With a 2month season instead of 4month he can now fulfill his fantasy of putting twice as much rocks. Ahaha that's funny. | ||

The whole point he was making with regards to it taking 50 games was if you in fact did reset MMR, in which case you would have to re-earn it each season as opposed to playing a single game and placing into it. | ||

The current 4 month season feel a little stretched specially for such a driven and active community. 3 months should be fine to really make it a "season" yet still be on time with new map pools etc. | ||

The reason why I thing that shorter seasons are better is that they can change the map pool more frequently. Some maps are imbalanced(shatered temple), some are just bad(searing crater) and must be removed ASAP. Will Blizzard do it is completely different discussion :D | ||

I agree. 3 months also makes sense with the word "Season" (sports and sitcoms aside). 2 months seems a bit a short for me. | ||

With the ladder locking for two weeks (?) at the end of every season, this leaves only 6 weeks to compete within your division and get promoted/demoted. Too small of a window for a dynamic game such as SC2 | ||
