I just received a notification on battle.net that it would be shutting down in 15 minutes. So I`m guessing we wont have to wait much long for season 4. T.T what to do in the mean time?
Ok I cant log in anymore.

Battle.net just went down for me on the american server. I'm assuming it's for maintenance, and hopefully the ladder reset/patch?

Whatabout the map changes? did they remove any of the clearly shit maps? or does blizzard simply not comprehend that they are not good at making good and balanced maps? and also are they still going with the expand and you die maps in 2v2,3v3 and 4v4?

The transition between ladder seasons is generally a time when we take the opportunity to make adjustments to the ladder map pool. In Season 4, the 1v1 pool will remain unchanged, but we will be removing the following maps from the 2v2 map pool:

(4)Khaydarin Depths
(8)Tempest

They will be replaced with the following maps:

(4)Lunar Colony V
(8)Magma Core

We have chosen to remove Khaydarin Depths and Tempest from the 2v2 ladder pool because expanding can be a challenge for certain team compositions on these maps, and they aren’t as balanced as we would prefer for other team compositions. We also wanted to focus on maps that start 2v2 teammates closer together at the beginning of a match. Lunar Colony V and Magma Core are maps that should address these issues.

o.O Metalopolis is back and 2 maps are out, though don't remember their names.
There are no boundaries, that's the final conclusion.

Yup I'm happy they took out some of my downvoted 1v1 maps, but I would have liked a bigger map pool.

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.


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.


Oh I know, the same thing happened last season too (I keep getting promoted to plat, take a break from the game, demoted back to gold cause I'm rusty, and then repromoted). The problem is, for about ~25% of the season now (2 weeks out of 2 months), what league you are in is meaningless. I've beaten numerous plats today, played a few masters, but also got matched up against (and lost to) a silver player. Does that mean I'm doing well? Or should that guy who is in silver really be in masters, plat? Or is he a true silver? Am I playing plat players with MMRs that should be demoted back to gold, or "true" plats. With promotions now being locked for so long, there is really no way to tell.

How many games do you play in a season? Your MMR seems really volatile to be getting that broad a range.

I'm top diamond and only ever face other diamonds and master's league. Haven't seen anyone from Platinum in ages and I didn't play any from Gold or lower this season.

I know a few Masters that just tank their MMR really low after the lock to prevent being demoted yet have like a bronze league MMR. Then when the new season starts, they get demoted to bronze but work their way back to Masters so they'll have like a 100-1 win ratio lol.


they'll just fail pretty hard. if they start pwning in bronze league they will start playing against diamond/master pretty soon and when they get into master they won't have alot of points. they will lose points after promotion compared to those who have higher mmr and start getting >15 points for a win and losing <10 points for a loss in master league.
so dunno why would anyone do that


If he has the MMR to be matched up with Rain 3 times in a row, he can definitely make it back to where he was before. He can just keep winning until he gets his MMR back. The point was to make his win/loss ratio look amazing.

Around 100-150. My MMR shouldn't be fluctuating that wildly by now. It has more to do with the fact that those players in a normal situation would have been promoted/demoted by now. it's not to bad at the start of the lock since people haven't had enough time to make serious ladder runs, but by the end of the lock, it starts to get pretty bad.
