Everything in life is a penis measuring contest. Unfortunately you cannot show anyone your MMR but you can show someone a shiny gold Star that indicates GM league.

I feel like the seasons are too short. I never even get my bonus pool used up by the time it ends ><.

The pool grows every few hours so longer seasons wouldn't really help that problem :D

Doesnt being in GM help you qualify for blizzard events? At least in the past ladder have mattered for such things, and with the upcoming battlenet global thingy, might be that being in GM will help you out there.

Imo season length is just fine and ladder maps should be adjusted for majority of people. Blizzard obviously tries to keep casual people playing and people in tl forums should be fine with that. More casual people means more resources for Blizzard to develop the game and more people interested in professional play.
Maybe the community could do something to make people play more GSL and other custom maps instead of laddering for practice. Maybe daily tournaments could use a bigger variety of maps, even the lower league ones.

Then you should obviously like that seasons change often since that resets your bonus pool. Your bonus pool increases the longer the season lasts, not the other way around.

You seem to be missunderstanding the system. Your Bonus pool will increase over time and if you cant keep it low anyway you will just gather more and more points in a longer season.

Personally I love those shorter seasons, Its much more motivating, because u have less people that just skyrocket away pointwise and seem to be unreachable.
Well and if Blizzard would be so kind a and kill all of their "new" maps and implement sth. like DAYBREAK <3

This. Imo the first week or so of a season are the most fun since you can easily compare progress of people in your division. Later on, you see people who have 10 times the amount of wins you do and it's less interesting to compare points.

I wouldn't mind daybreak, I would personally prefer Darkness Falls though, probably my favorite third party map.

I like having "new beginnings" kinda frequently. I also like the map pool changing as it is now... I'm probably having too high hopes for the S6 map pool.

Blizzard... you know you read this place. MAPS! Get new ones. Not yours. There's a lot of wonderful new maps out there from the community. And it saves you money.

None of those new maps are too complicated or too tough for noobies, either... if anything, it will give them the illusion of epicness when we have massed Carriers against massed Cattlebruisers. I mean, really... there are no hard maps.

arid plateau and xel'naga caverns should be removed, blizz should add more GSL macro maps like they did Tal'darim, hopefully its Daybreak or Metropolis!

Why do they lock the ladder so long ? Why not just say Season 5 is over - Season 6 beginns in two Hours ?

Gotta give people time to get mad, cool off, and then get mad again when they don't place into a higher league.

Also they need to start drawing straws to find 200 lucky low-masters players to make GM

Seasons are too short now... I only have time to play like 10 games a week.

More thoughts:

I can't believe Blizzard hasn't included a kind of automated, global tournament thing in BNet 2.0.

I think it would be great for motivation if they had an end of season tourney for the all top 8 players in each division (per league).

Then guys would be motivated to get that top spot.

I thought this would be the first season I wouldn't end up top 25 master league. Went 4-0 last night, now I'm only 1-2 wins away from breaking back in

.

New maps would be nice, but why does everyone hate on Blizzard? I know they don't do everything right, but were sitting on a 3rd party website dedicated to just 2 of their creations. They must do some things right.
