I think 5 - 6 months is good, but w/e blizzard is blizzard. Wow seasons are long because they have to match the gear up with the next tier of raiding as to keep raiding as the best source of PvE gear. | ||

For the rest of us, it really doesn't matter. | ||

I assume you mean the longer season makes getting gm tougher, which makes a shorter season better for those who want gm? Imo getting a gm icon to say your mmr is at that level as opposed to being in master league with the same mmr makes no difference; best thing to do is to keep playing to improve and eventually you'll get what's coming. | ||

New seasons are also exciting for a lot of players so they can see where they'll place. On the other hand, it's discouraging for a lot of players because all of their hard work in the previous season will be wiped clean. | ||

Not to mention it is incentive to play more games. New season with new standings means people get a "fresh start". That seems more friendly than having a triple digit bonus pool looking at a ladder that you'll never be near the top of since the top players would have to be real good and play a lot consistently than you. Plus an MMR reset would be very annoying to deal with like it was when the game released. The last thing TL needs is a new forum topic created every 30 minutes about how someone is playing people too hard or too easy but are in the same division as their hard/easy opponents only because not enough games have been played by people to put their MMR to where it should be in respect to everyone else. I say if you want to keep MMR but not have new seasons you need to get rid of bonus pool and have an ICCUP type ladder system. It would eventually be annoying to have posts like "7,300 masters here.." not to mention having a universal ladder system would be easier to track skill and get rid of all these people who take ranking too much into account when determining how good someone is and all the division tiers and all that crap. | ||

I agree that the timing is bad. Also the 2 months season means they will rotate maps out a lot. This will be good on one hand because a lot of people will potentially have their maps played but on the other hand if your map only stays up 2 months people will hardly take it seriously. I would assume Blizzard would rotate out a map after 6-8 months hopefully with the season system. 2 months seems very short for a ladder season. I think they will change it. | ||

Anyways, 2 months? o.o I prefer 3 months but i don't care too much. But yeah I think 3 months is better =/ Edit: Oh, shorter season does mean more map changes though. Which means possibly more new maps (community? GSL?) | ||

They never replace the entire map pool to be fair. | ||
