Your MMR is volitile. It doesnt really matter what your previous MMR is. If you win a game with a "Blank" MMR and a "Set" MMR, AFAIK there will be no difference in the resultant MMR.

I feel like I'm not even used to the new maps yet. Too short of a season in my opinion. Maybe make them 4 months instead but it's not the end of the world.

Hopefully with the quicker seasons will also bring more maps to the map pool.

Don't care for a 2week lock, why does there even need to be a lock at all? Why would someone rather be a Top 8 diamond than a Top 30 master?

I believe the idea is that the mmr is much more volatile with a lower amount of games so people have this crazy idea that they are being held back by the 500games they played before they got "better"

More than anything, its an excuse to change the map pool.

Wonder what maps they will pick.

For the people arguing against the shorter seasons, i'm curious what the problem is? it doesn't effect your MMR - you'll still change leagues just as quickly (aside from the one week lock), if not quicker, due to inactives being sorted out at the beginning of a season.

I just don't really see a downside.

No I don't think I am being held back by my 500 games, but say I want to switch from Zerg to Terran, I am currently diamond zerg but maybe gold terran. I don't want to have to dunk games to get to a level where I can begin the learning process with terran, instead It would be nice if i could simply reset my MMR and then start learning terran from scratch instead of from my zergs MMR till it drops low enough

The problem with resetting MMR is that people with higher skill will just continually reset their MMR and terrorize bronze league. It'll just cause lower league players to quit the game out of frustration i'm sure.

Just play Terran until you start playing people of similar skill, or buy a new account.

Personally, I think the changes are good for people who don't have as much time to play.

Lower bonus pool (under master league) and shorter seasons means that players who play less are still able to stay relatively competitive within the division to players who play a lot more.

Also the quicker GM league is good (and having it "reset" more often will help the complaints about getting locked out).

Will there be new maps, or are we stuck with season 3 maps for another season?
