2 month is way too short, blizzard's decision making has became worse and worse

no wonder why so many people simply just quit the game

3month would feel better imo, 2month is to short
If something can be achieved easily, it probably isnt worth it

Why do people have to bitch about this, two months is fine.. It does not change a thing about your promotion/demotion (except for the lockout), the mmr will not be wiped, you will still gain mmr from games during the lockout and so on.. Just look at it as a way to evaluate your progress after the two months.

Shorter seasons are in my opinion just great, there's nothing negative with it, hopefully this means that the map pool will be updated more frequently.

It will NOT affect your mmr in any way, you just wont be promoted during the lockout, but you will after if you have been proven worthy.

Actually, if you're on the edge of being promoted, the new season ought to help you because winning the 1 placement match may be the bump you need to get up into the next league.

LOL... Source...?

Two month is perfect imo. Not sure what the reason behind the two week lockdown is though.

People quit this game, cuz they are not really into it, ie. they are trying it out cuz its a popular game, they play single player, maybe few multiplayer games and then they leave. Its natural for all the games. Sure there are other factors but this one is the biggest i believe.

About the 2 months long seasons, its awesome for me

The dropoff in number of games played is pretty frightening. My guess is this is an emergency effort by Blizzard to keep things afloat until HotS.

Check out these numbers:

that IS scary...


It's a good example of why plotting something without thinking about the data set you're drawing from can tell you totally the wrong thing.

What you're seeing in those plots is pretty much just how long it takes sc2ranks to update its data. Today's numbers are near 0 because sc2ranks takes a few weeks to visit all the profiles, with only the top-ranked profiles visited daily.

That means that sc2ranks has collected data for almost none of the games played today. It's collected more data for the games played a week ago, and even more for those played two weeks ago. The number for October 4th is going to climb slowly over the next few weeks as sc2ranks hits more profiles.

The number of actual games played is probably dropping off to some extent, but that's not the reason those plots are dropping to 0 over the last two weeks -- it's just that sc2ranks takes a long time to collect all the data about a given day's games played.

Edit: Looking at my (Gold league) profile right now, sc2ranks last updated my 1v1 ranking information 11 hours ago, but the last time it gathered my individual game history was September 8th. That was a month ago.

The shorter duration is fine, it allows them to experiment with more map types and sort out the bad/unbalanced ones sooner. although i fear that the general idea will be gotta get more rocks mang!

Well, I think the season time is to short,I would be fine with every 4 months starts a new season,so 3 seasons per year, although grandmaster's season's should end/begin every new month,so only the real activ players with the highest mmr play in grandmaster.

Just ma thoughts.

Neither do I I hope they change their mind 2 months is too fast and given the fact that I can almost only play during weekends that's gonna be tougher to go in master

I wouldn't count on hit, but I hope they at least remove some of the new maps they added for season 3. Some of them where pretty horrible, Searing Crater comes to mind.

Nice, so i will have to play a match again to get into a league... according to my experiences, every time i play a placement, i get into one lower league than before, so bronze, here i come!!! (started from plat)

I suppose the 2 month season is motivation to play more and use up bonus points

I really don't understand the argument that wiping out everyone's progress every 2 months is going to motivate people to play. Personally, it feels like one more reason to stop caring about the ladder. Why don't they just display everyone's MMR and be done with it? I guess because people can't handle variance...


Soo true!

I like the idea of quarters much better.... a 3 month season is perfect. Four seasons a year, just feels better and makes finishing at the top of your ladder more meaningful.
