maybe thats just me but I've played this season, the fewest games
mostly because the maps are just boring
i would prefer much more to have maps like in the gsl/mlg etc.
because i watch them all the time

The ladder lock is too long.
|
I think if the season is only going to be 2 months long that they should have a 1 week lock period, rather than 2. I mean, as it stands the lock is 25% of the length of the actual season...seem's kinda stupid to me.

I'm so close to being promoted I'm sure of it. I like the shorter seasons though. I just need to get promoted by the 10th ^^

I think asking for a more straight-forward ranking system is really a pipe dream.
Just look at what they've been doing to APM.
Before, it was a really simple measurement. Sure, you can spam to increase APM, but for the people who tried to use it honestly, it had a lot of functionality.
To be honest, if they're worried about newer players being discouraged at the sight of their rank, losses or low APM, just put in an unintuitive was of enabling both so that the casual player will never turn them on. Just like closing a Facebook account... lol.
But it all seems to fit into the mentality that Blizzard has taken towards some things lately. You either play their way, or you don't play at all. That should be the motto Bnet 2.0.

Not really, it only tells you about the games played in a month, and that the number of games played spikes on weekends (duh!). the slope in total games is probably attributed to school. A graph for all months might be more useful.

Does our hidden MMR continue to increase even with the lock going on ?

MMR acts as normal.
OT: I hate the ladder lock, been on the edge of masters for ~3 weeks, now I have to hurry to still get there.
Why do they lock the ladder anyways?

Funny Thread, as the change to a 2 months cycle was announced on TL.net the reaction have been mainly positive or neutral. Now its too sooooon

So much ladder lock!!
it will be more frequent, but half as long!
as to someone asking why they lock ladder - it allows players to try to mass games to both burn their bonus pool and move within the division without worrying about getting promoted/demoted and losing non bonus pool points earned. (promotion/demotion will simply occur at the start of the next season).

wow, this def feels pretty short.
W/e, I think this helps people who are stuck in the lower leagues and deserve to be higher, but feel that they are spending to much time on trying to get higher.

this should allow GM to rotate players more often, and plus the map pool should change.

I think a rotating map pool would be awesome. Especially if they had polls on their website encouraging players to actively vote in/out the maps they want (Do it by league)

did they say they were cutting it?
i thought it was staying at 2 weeks?

well, the huge drop of the number can be easily explain, the sc2 hype has faded
i have so many friends whom eithern quit the game completely or being inactive in very long time,
Bn2 is a total failure, and ladder stress has defeated most of them.
Playing 1v1 on ladder on the complet isolated bn2 has proven too much for alot of people.

I feel like the HotS expansion plays a roll in the length of the ladder seasons atm
