Seasons are too short now. I've barely made a dent in my bonus pool, and the "lock" isn't going to motivate me to do anything about it.

i think that just means you dont play enough. i don't play that much but i'm still 0 bonus pool after playing a few games a day.

i havent even played a 1v1 game yet this season. lol

I hope Xel'Naga gets removed from the map pool, it's been taking up my veto votes for eternity.
|
Please, please get rid of Shattered Temple and Xel'Naga Caverns....Taldarim Altar might be due for a change for some other big map too.

If I remember correctly, the rumour was actually spread that they were going to use terminus? Hm can you share where you heard this or got the impression of that? I wonder why terminus. GSL doesn't even use that anymore =/. I think daybreak would make much more sense, plus it's not a 4 player map. Stuf got mixed up: at the time when they announced that Tal Darim was going to be part of the map pool, I sort of remember - but am not sure - that the community 'knew' that they were going to use a non-blizzard map and, again if I remember correctly, I thought that the rumour was actually Terminus, not Tal Darim. I am not talking about now. It would be very weird if they used the crap map Terminus.
oh ok, thanks for clarifying :D i agree it would be weird to use that now

A lot of people don't realize that MMR is capped and that there's really a top 500 rather than 200 people who are at the cap. When GM opens, whoever is the first to play in that pool gets GM, even if they're 499/500 rather than 5/500. To the system, they're both capped at MMR.

Are you winning games against opponents that are in the league above you? If not, then you are not getting promoted. Simple as that really.
You can go 15-5 in the last month. If those 5 games you lost were all to players ranked higher than you, then you stay in your current league.

I got promoted from Gold to Plat mid season but still finding the league pretty easy and maintaining a 60% win ratio roughly, is it possible to get promoted twice in one season? I really don’t play that much at the moment (have played about 5 games in the last 2 weeks) but tomorrow is my last day at work so I reckon I could easily reach the rough target of 800 points before ladder lock (currently on 550ish, 250+ points in 4 days will be tricky, but doable).
Seasons feel so short now, I remember Season 1 seemed to go on forever.

I'm pretty sure it's if you don't place for a season your MMR resets. So if you've placed in any league, you're fine.

If the season was longer then your bonus pool would continue to grow. So it would be even harder to put a dent into your bonus pool. Honestly bonus pool is just not a good argument for shorter seasons decreasing ladder motivation. Unless of course they change how bonus pool works.

yes definitely need to get rid of Xel'Naga its such a boring map. cloud kingdom would be soo dope but we know blizz is abit dense when it comes to fixing maps or changning them in a reasonable time frame. school why you make me forget about starcraft dammit

Oh gosh I'm so close to getting to plat! Only ~70 points until I hit 800, not that I'll stop there.
