i kinda wish seasons were 3 months as opposed to 2 months, especially if it's going to take 2 weeks just to get the new season started and then a week while ladder is locked, meaning that if they decide to do 2month seasons then with the current schedule 3 weeks of that 2 months goes to ladder being locked and GM undecided lol. but its cool, because it helps you get promoted faster if you are playing well and doesn't change your MMR. It helps people who are stuck in leagues make the jump up if they've been playing well

Does anyone know if they're still going to be locking the ladder for two whole weeks every season?

Seems kind of ridiculous to have the ladder locked two weeks every two months.

As it is, 2 months seems too short. I would go for 3 months, leaning more towards four than two.

Can't see what's wrong with a better turn around of maps. Blizzards decision making seems fine.

I hope we see some map-changes, more change in the map-pool would be great.

YOU ARE A GENIUS SIR!
seriously, this is the best reason for doing this. Yes we might not get enough games, but it shouldn't really matter anyway, stop worrying about achievements people love the game!

But if we get new maps every 2 months, then I have completely changed my opinion of this whole thing. Only if we get new maps...............

Rather unfortunate, given that I would have loved to play a few more ladder games to in so doing get a shot at promotion to the next league, but it seems I will not be able to do that in one week from now. These season changes, albeit occasionally frustrating, are refreshing for the most part and as someone stated above could pose more map changes, which would be a great addition. Just as long Blizzard make some changes in the new season, I will remain happy

Maybe you'll get promoted at the season change, who knows?

If you're lucky you will get the promotion, since it happened with me at the start of this season, therefore there may well be a chance.

Well, I'm a lil happy n a lil sad, the map pool needs to keep changing so that's great for the game, but personally I hoped to reach diamond before this season ended. I suppose I can be content with having no bonus pool for the first time ever, and being #1 plat, close enough I guess.

I like the idea of a 2 month season, especially if the maps change up for each of them.

I agree it's a bit odd to have a 2 week lock with every one as well. Hopefully they reduce that to a week at most.

Wonder if this time I can keep my bonus pool at 0...

yeh nice
Im really into short seasons since it makes up for much more competition

for example if every 2 months a good master player gets a new chance to get into grandmaster and fullifll his sc2 dream then he will of course will play much more and also the pros will play more ladder since they obviously want to be in gm and also it will get more and more attractive as a practice tool when ladder gets more competitive

EDIT: and of course the scrappy maps get rotated out faster

I like the shorter seasons, allows the ladders to rebalance, because even now half the people on my ladder page are inactive, and they can introduce new maps that are hopefully better than the ones we have now.

Blah, 2 month seasons means nothing to diamond and below. I don't have the time to play enough to be in the top of my diamond division even if the seasons were 3-5 months long. I do, however, wonder if they are doing this to shake up the top 200 every couple of months. I don't mind resetting the ladder points but for tournaments that use the ladder for entry requirements you should be able to get exemptions based on last seasons ladder and not just the current one.

One thing I noticed is that a 2-month season doesn't really allow a semi-inactive player (or casual) to drain their bonus pool in a week of mass gaming, or actually match their points with their MMR. Not that it matters, because you can always see your progress by checking active players' profiles that you face, and seeing their points etc., but it's still going to mess with accurate ranking statistics, I imagine.

Daybreak for ladder!

In a more serious manner, I think 2 months is too short. 3 months would be better.

I actually had the patience too browse through all pages and saw most posts were variants of "2 months is too short it should be x months" with no explanantions and "ladder lock is too long" . I still fail to understand why it matters how long is the season, since you'll be placed in the same league and about the ladder lock.. if you win a lot of games during that , your MMR should burst up and get you promoted soon after the ladder unlocks .
The only real problem I see is for some people that work ( why? ) for gathering ladder points and won't be top 8 when the new season begins ..
Working hard or hardly working ?

Don't like the 2 months cycle. It might backfire to just increase the frequency of seasons to artificially increase player activities. Players might not like the pressure to play more regularly and/or it probably will devalue the worth of a season league placement because it will be (mostly) meaningless in two months.

Don't know 100% how GM league works, but 1) this affects very few people and 2) players will probably be the same as the season before because the MMR shouldn't be way off in the top (as mass games improves ladder accuracy). Inactive players will drop from GM midseason anyways and players that are shortly before berthing into it will try getting into it and know where they stand in the first place.
