Of course it does, don't be such a crank. Bronze leaguers can't get into GM.

I dont see why everyone is crying over "GM" status. It is nothing but a symbol, nothing more, nothing less.
You have masters players who que against and play against GM's all the time. But yet they dont get any recognition. Sure they may be no-names, but the ones who end up taking games off those known individuals still are there doing it, despite not having a ridiculous symbol.
Blizzard needs to not lock GM. Honestly they need to have it rotating in and out with a current basis of players. Just have the MMR formula register individuals correctly to differentiate the points between Masters and GM once acquired or lost.

You're thanking him for an illogical reason. He's saying pro/really good players shouldn't hog GM with multiple accounts because it won't let others have access to the bragging rights. It has no bearing on who you're able to play -- that's determined by MMR, not by actual league. For example, a bronze player with sufficient MMR could be matched against silver/gold players (or high masters matched w/ GM)
|
Why does blizzard just reset MMR every season so the start of the season actually MEANS something? There is absolutely no point to play for grandmaster with the current system as someone with a 0-1 record (previous grandmaster) will likely still get grandmaster instantly.
Another nice touch would be adding a scheduled release of the ladder so people can set their alarms or something. This doesn't indicate a fair playing field at all.

The system Blizzard had before GM was actually better than GM. They used to publish a top 200 list once a week with the current top 200, this was a quite up to date and accurate depiction of who the top 200 players in the region were. Now you have a GM league with a bunch of 1-0 or 2-0 kids and a number of other multiple smurf accounts that people play a couple games a week on just to keep the bonus pool down so the account doesn't get kicked out.
|
Very true, getting on that top 200 list even just a couple of times felt awesome while GM is quite trivial at times. With Blizz's system I really don't know where I lie which I really should ignore and focus on my gameplay but I don't....
|
Awesome, just played my placement match and I can't get placed. Battle.net 0.2 lololol

Winning and not able to gain points, and losing and losing points. TT, my wins also arent counting. This is just silly.

combatex didn't get in?
this is silly...

I basically agree. I think they should go back to something like it and just call that GM. They could also just make it purely MMR based. At the beginning of each season, they could check the stats to see what MMR would give them roughly 200 active players, and just make that MMR the threshold for the season. I don't know why they're so fixated on 200. It would be fine if it were just in that general ballpark. If 300 people make it to the designated MMR for that season, good for them. Blizzard can just raise the GM MMR for the following season.
That's how I'd do it. GM would at least mean something then.

This really sucks for people like me and others that tried pretty hard over the past week to get into GM.
|
I got placed in the division last season where all the GM's who got kicked out got simultaneously placed into. People referred to it as the GM graveyard.
I remember at one point, I was rank 36 in the division, which was rank 1 in a majority of other division.... rank 36 in that division was still top 100 overall of all masters.

Agreed. T_T

This is messed up there are people that played a low masters player or mid masters player and got into gm...
I think blizzard should just bring back the top 200 list. It may not show the tip top skill but it certainly is closer to that then what this shows
|
there are ppl on GM that were below rank 50 Masters last season.
**one guy was 80~ with 200~ points
I know its only stats but... meh
