I think, if anything 2 month seasons make it more competitive. Its much easier to stay focused on laddering for 2 month than for 3.

I have 230 Wins this season (so about 460 games more or less) and no bonus pool and it wasn't that hard. And no, I dont have that much time, I work, have a family etc.

People that say 2 month seasons will make it harder for them to get to masters, since they only play on weekends just have no clue how the ladder works. I'm guessing S3 is their first season, because they make it out as if they would need to do the bronze to masters grind every season.

I think this is a little silly. Why would Blizzard make shorter seasons to encourage playing and then give less bonus pool to the 98% of players?

What time is the ladder resetting for US? Thought it was early Monday morning, but I don't recall normal maintenance times.

I'm really not liking how long the ladder lock is going on for now compared to how long the season is. I'm in gold. I just got matched up against (and rolled by) a Masters player. Either I'm way overdue for another promotion, or this guy really needs a demotion. Either way, the fact that this is happening really delegitamizes the meaning of the leagues.

For WoW its 3am to 11am PST usually. I would assume it would be something similar but I could be wrong.
I get it.

You could/can still improve your MMR even when the ladder is "locked" like it has been for the past 2 weeks right?

I started playing around 2 weeks ago so thats why im asking ><

Yes, you can. MMR isn't locked. You just can't get a promotion/demotion until the next season and you don't gain bonus pool points to allow everyone to catch up.

Personally, I like the idea of shorter seasons (though I thought 3 months was perfect). I'm in the same situation as the OP having only an hour or so to play per day, and I found that it was quite possible to get behind on your bonus pool with basically no way to catch back up. The shorter seasons mean that if you have to take a significant break or something (say a 3 week vacation...the reason why I was behind in Season 2) then you don't have to worry about catching up because the season will be reset fairly soon.

I do agree the lock should maybe be 1 week if the season is 2 months, though.
You know what unit really has balance problems? Colossi. Why, they look like they could be blown over in a stiff wind!

If that's the case, you'll most likely be promoted immediately after the lock is done after your first placement match. Since MMR still moves during the lock, I see no problem with shorter seasons and a 2 week lock to use excess bonus pool.

For those that are complaining about still having a bonus pool: longer seasons doesn't fix this issue, since you'll accumulate more bonus pool over a long season than a short one. Remember season 1? If you picked up the game towards the end, you'd have thousands of bonus pool points right off the bat, and no way to spend them all in a 3-week ladder lock period.

I was 100% positive I would be promoted to masters when the new season starts.

Then I played over the weekend on a tilt. 16 losses to 6 wins... ouch.

I was still playing a few master players by the end of it so... I have my fingers crossed!
