But what I dont get is why some people say they are bitter or get butthurt over it..... as long as you are playing people who are giving you a challenge and you are improving... who cares what league the ladder says you are in. | ||

I really hope they do something about it because I'm sure I deserve a GM spot on NA (top 70 last season, played 80 games this season so far #1 masters etc) and it looks like GM might be full with very little chance of ever getting in since it's SO hard to drop out of GM once your there. (literally impossible just play a game a day and you will never drop out) | ||

People like rewards for their efforts. The entire purpose of Blizzard's ladder is to reward players through league promotions. If the promotion to the highest of leagues is faulty, you can't understand why people would be upset? | ||

I think everyones collective MMR rose higher than it had been in the past and blizzard didn't account for that so any sort of algorithims used to determine GM status were shooting too low. At least that seems like one likely possiblity. Previous season GM's should have reserved slots as well or at least bonuses if they are still active.

(literally impossible just play a game a day and you will never drop out) While I agree with you im just curious if you think it matters whether or not you are in GM? What if you are high rank master playing GM players all the time? Like what benefit is there from being GM... not trying to be rude or anything, just asking. | ||

This in itself can give a lot of people a sense of accomplishment. | ||

I just dont understand why it matters whether you are a master player playing GMs or a GM playing GMs. Its the same thing and isnt the overall goal just to improve and be a better player and practice? If top GMs were given like auto tourney invites to blizz or something I can better understand though. | ||

I personally don't care, and it would make no difference from my laddering standpoint. but for a semipro player like me without much exposure- just having the credibility to be able to use when you approach a team manager or deal with any business it's easier to say you're top 200 grandmasters than just high masters which isn't as clearly defined. | ||

People can't add you as friend nor could they chat with you, giving you a strong defense vs bm after game messages. | ||

If top GMs were given like auto tourney invites to blizz or something I can better understand though. You've posted the same thing 3 times, we get your point. It matters to some people, if it shouldn't matter then Blizzard should just get rid of GM league, they instituted it in the first place for people to see who the top 200 players are. Also some things (eg. BlizzCon Qualifiers) seem to be based on ladder performance (see: OstojiY) so it does have some tangible effects as well. And when you're trying to sell yourself to sponsors, it looks a lot better if your players are in GM as opposed to Masters. | ||
