When I saw they were changing the ladder length, the first thing I thought was "they are going to fuck up GM for sure".

Guy starts giving advice to ppl when he shouldn't Guy realizes his advice is shit but he doesn't care because ppl take it anyway because "he's GM" Guy ruins SC2 Guy still remains anonymous Guy is still GM sigh.... fuck that guy The GM debacle this season only means that amazing players are losing GM spots to slightly less amazing players. Fact is that you don't get to Masters by being bad. You might be bad compared to the pro's and other Master level players but you are still better than 80% of the ladder. That or you're a cheater and a stream sniper. If someone made it into GM that means they were Masters. I'd still take advice from a Master level player. | ||

Of course they didn't just "get in" to GM. Surely they played a lot to get there. All I'm saying is, I just don't want someone getting a cocky attitude because they're in GM. And I don't want someone shoving it in other's people's face just cause their GM. GM is a privilege that shouldn't be abused, that's all I'm saying | ||

So it's more broken then it is easy. Do you think that a 52% gm/50% masters player should have made GM in a non-broken system? They probably simply had lower mmr's than all the current people in GM. | ||

Blizzard should at least implicate a system where you have to play a minimum number of games at reset before even getting considered back into GM. Same for players trying to get in. At that point it would force those 0-1 players to have the chance to tank their rating and give opportunity to others. At that point I'm totally fine for example desrow having two accounts. If he's worked his ass off on two accounts and grinded it out at reset, then more power to him. That should help the whole first 200 with a near enough MMR to get in, that played. Reseting MMR or opening 500 slots is obnoxious. | ||

It's designed to base it off of mmr. So because somebody else has more wins than idra doesn't mean that the system believes they're a better player. The whole purpose of mmr is to avoid basing skill off of total wins. | ||

Heck, I've seen Gold league players smack talking silver leaguers because they are "rank 1 gold". What actual rank somebody is has no effect on whether or not they are cocky. | ||

Anyway that theory doesn't stand. 200 people were promoted because they played this morning/early afternoon. Normally it takes like 2-3 days to fill up GM (past seasons) because system had locked up places for some players (i think) | ||

It doesn't mean anything. That guy complaining that his team of 9 gms now only has 1 gm is missing the point. Your players aren't any worse than they were yesterday. | ||

GM is a privilege that shouldn't be abused, that's all I'm saying They've earned the cocky attitude though. I know it sucks when players are d-bags but if they're good players, they get to be d-bags. They do run the risk of pissing off an even better player though which is why I suppose they might not want to talk too much smack. GM doesn't mean a whole lot when a pro is calling you bad. But if a GM wants to talk smack about my platinum league, they've kinda earned the right to do it. The most I can do is walk away and come back later. Or get better than them so I can smack them myself when they get mouthy. | ||
