Argh, was thinking the season locked on Friday. Was planning on spening the rest of my bonus pool and getting into the top 8 of my division for that nice shiny gold star.

You can still get into the top 8 of your division as far as I know, it´s the promotionbit that is locked.

I don't understand the need to lock the ladders? Why not just set a date to switch over to the next season? It'll remove all this complication of having people complaining/wondering why they didn't get promoted etc.

Uhh... it's not too late for that. The lock lasts an entire week. You can still play over the weekend and spend your remaining bonus pool.

I don't disagree that ladder locks lead to a lot of confusion, but they do allow a period where bonus pool stops influencing the end-of-season division ranks. The lock is primarily a way to communicate to players "this is your assigned division, you're not going anywhere for a week, now how high can you get in this division before the next season starts?"

The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

I like the way season length is comparable

this way, your points at the end of each season are relavent to current skill comparisons if you are not fully active (within reason of course).

it would be cool if there was some indicator that compared your current poitns to the points you had at that time in the prior season

Man always hate playing at the lock, I'll lose to some random diamond player and think "what the hell, why did it match me against someone that low, and why did he rape me?". Then I check his record and he's like 20 - 1 in the past few hours cause some dude got his high masters friend to smurf for him -_-.

The "problem" is a lot of people think that since they aren't going to be promoted they should stop playing. I think it would just be less complications for the general masses to have a set date where one season switches to the next and call it a day. And anyways, who really cares about their ranks in a division? Divisions aren't even comparable across the board so being Rank 1 in one division doesn't equate the same rank in another.

You still have a week to do that >.> The new season doesn't start until next week.

I think everyone can agree that these seasons are too short. Three months was the sweet spot for season length, I hope blizzard changes it back.

Speak for yourself maybe ? This is the perfect length. I'm Pretty sure to find as many ppl as yours that would agree with me.

I don't mind the end of season locks, but I do mind the start of season chaos. I don't know if others have this problem, but every time the season starts my 2v2 partner and I experience this wild fluctuation in skill levels of opponents. We'll come across silver players who have excellent macro and perfect force fields (we're high gold/low platinum) and then next game we'll hit platinum players who stay on one base and have 9 roaches at 9 minutes. Is that a problem in 1v1 also or is it just us/2v2?

I didn't see this being asked before, so does anyone know the exact time today (7th of february) that the ladder is being locked? I'm talking about the EU server.

I hope they dont have the same GM issues for a third time in a row. Also I hope they add some new maps, I think metropolis, daybreak or ESV Cloud Kingdom would be cool to see.
