I'm a bit confused as to why they roll over the seasons as much as they do. Can't they just rotate the maps once in a while and only change the seasons when a balance patch comes along?

So if I understand this correctly, if you want to get promoted from Diamond to Masters (very likely) you just have to get over 900 ladder points before the lock on the 7th?

I predict no new maps. They're too busy working on HotS right now.


They could go and add some GSL maps? They already been tested and the pros already gave their feedback, no?

I have an idea, let's all bitch and moan all day every day... But then still play the game... If you don't like it, don't play.


I know I played about 50 games this season, if the maps would have been not trash I might have played like 150-200. How many more people would have done that also?

Just because we play a game does not mean we can bitch and moan about horrible maps.


You payed for the game, no? Then Blizzard gets paid regardless, I'm sorry you don't like the maps but there are plenty of user made maps that are amazing that you can play custom games if you don't like the ladder maps.

So, is fking pretty simple:

- Make seasons longer. Not much more longer, but the actual "seasons" last like 2 months.

- FIX GM.

- Rotate older maps out. Put a pair of new ones, at least one s class map (Cloud kingdom or Daybreak).

- Also remove golds from maps as the last balance touch.

If you guys want to keep whining about the season being too short, then you're doing it in the wrong place.

You're better off QQ'in on the bnet forums.

And shifts in win rates will still be perfectly easy to look at regardless of Blizzard resetting everyone's rank.

I guess I just don't understand the point of seasons at all. Why don't we just play and get promoted/demoted like we would otherwise?

shitty players just got in GM b/c they cheesed in every single game and their winrates is higher than the real GM players. That's my guess.

why does it even matter how long seasons are? not like ur hidden ranking gets reset



It does actually in 1v1... if you skip a season. So you have to play at least one game every 8 weeks.

It doesn't reset, it just gives you 5 placement matches instead of 1. You'll still be matched against people around your previous MMR.


I'm pretty sure that's not correct. I believe your MMR goes to what would it be if it were a brand new account when that happens.

Nah, I skipped 2 seasons and still played golds immediately. Was placed in platinum even though I lost several games.


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.

Point was that the first time I played my placements, I was matched against bronze, why would the game start by sending you against gold players, it makes no sense.

Actually due to the horrible popularity system playing said maps is borderline impossible.

Also you missed the point. Blizzard (and companies like Blizzard) like be be able to make statements like "over 20 million games were played on Battle.net last month!" (or w/e, random number) and that number could be higher.
