I also read 50 people complain about the length of the seasons, but not a single one gave a good argument. In the contrary, they complained and then said it was good because there would be new maps... /sigh | ||

Blizzard always says they want to attract casuals. The shorter seasons are contra to this. | ||

The shorter seasons are contra to this. 2 months isn't enough time to enjoy a season? How do you even enjoy a season? How does that work? You don't make any sense, how does the length of a season makes it more enjoyable for casuals? If you have a bonus pool now, it wont get better if the season takes longer, so your ranking is meaningless. You will even get more bonus pool. If you think that you play irregularly and will be able to burn a 400 bonus pool after accumulating it for 3 months, than I just laugh. If you can't burn a bonus pool every 2 months, you won't do it every 4 months. Actually, for casuals it is better to have really short season, so when they decide to go for a good amount of games in a weekend, they might hit that 0 bonus pool and see their true ranking, and become "competitive" ranked for that period. Casuals can decide to be competitive every even season. I am just interested in why so many people say that the seasons are too short. Complaining to complain? I am a casual player myself, haven't been under 100 bonus pool at the end for the last 5 seasons, currently I have probably a bonus pool >200. But I don't see any reason to complain about the length. On the contrary, next season I might be competitive in the start again, because the bonus pool goes up to fast for a casual as me. | ||

What's your argument? | ||

Either its out of ignorancy or maybe for the cause of bashing? I have a life to live and friends and stuff. Not everything circles around sc2 for me. So two month ARE too short for me to say "Hey this was a succesful season". Maybe some people around the internet can't really get the fact that when the new season is out it sometimes happens I first start playing about a week after its been released. So for people who aren't 100% dedicated to SC2 and laddering its pretty hard to enjoy a season. And I play alot of customs with friends too because I like the social factor which again cuts into the lengths of seasons. If you now want to argue "Yea but seasons don't mean anything" then I want to shove it up your throat again because if thats a fact then why we even have them. And maybe you guys could start reading the posts before even some semi-pros/pros complain about the length of a season. So are you just bashing for the sake of bashing?

Edit: I need to pick this one up If you can't burn a bonus pool every 2 months, you won't do it every 4 months. Do you work buddy? It really seems to me you are some guy studying or going to school. Now get all the bad thoughts out of your mind, meditate a bit, and think about it: If i have about 4 days a month where i can play 8 hours SC2 straight. It would mean i play about 32 hours a month which then translate into 64 hours a Season as it is. For me it feels that 64 hours are too few to get up the ranks and have fun in a season which includes a progress. If i have now +32 hours because it is 1 Month longer it means for me 33% MORE. Is that nothing? I don't care about bonuspool, I care about the concept of having a seasonal ladder. That concept should evolve around seeing progression in every season. This isn't happening for me because they are too short. | ||

am also bored of antiga tbh short seasons are good ... because they are synominous with new maps for blizzz. I think you are confusing personal preference with the objective reasons I get why youd like longer seasons ... but tbh i dont really give a crap abotu season length because i hardly play and dont care about what league im in. Christ after 2 weeks of not playing its hard enough remembering all your timings as it is. | ||
