For the duration of the season not under lock the normal rules of promotion/demotion holds, i.e. the moving average of your MMR will have to push through the "buffer" zone to be promoted/demoted. Your initial match, however, will directly place you into the league where your MMR lies. So chances are, you're gonna get demoted next season on your first game (unless you start winning more). | ||

I was planning on playing serious during Season 5, then messing around with pure mech in all matchups in Season 6, then returning to Random in Season 7. However, I may have to revise these plans to be more long-term considering how short these seasons are. | ||

Then, it's impossible for you to tell, as the 5 placement games of a brand new account can easily place you into gold. Edit: Although it's _possible_ to be placed into master league with just the first 5 placement matches of a brand new account, it's highly unlikely. (Since not only would you need to win, you'll need to be lucky with your opponents.) So good evidence of an MMR reset or lack thereof can only be seen for master leaguers who skip a season. | ||

I only have 4 wins right now, too many customs :< ... No... nothing "special" will happen to your account. The only "special" case is if you don't play a single game. | ||

They shortened the seasons because their data show that players tend to be more active near the beginning of a season. They speculated that when a player becomes inactive during the middle of a season, he's less likely to come back because his bonus pool accummulated too much to let him catch up to the rest of his division. Plus, a ladder reset makes it easier to be promoted/demoted ("buffer" zone not taken into consideration). | ||

The community wanted shorter seasons 2 seasons ago, but people like to complain. Nothing will ever be good enough. If you don't like 2 month seasons then that's fine but it isn't Blizzards fault. I doubt they will reverse their decision anyway because they told us that more people play at the start of a season than at the end and more people playing is better financially for them. | ||
