I like the season time . I played around 350 games in this one , and i dont play 10h per day , dont even play 5h per day ...I play 1-3 h per day of SC 2 , depends how much time i have..

I'm very confident it's because most players don't understand how seasons work and believe something is somehow lost because a new season starts, when it's infact the other way around. Having short seasons means you can play less and still progress, since it's easier to keep bonus pool low = faster progression.

The argument BluQ or whatever has could be said no matter how long seasons are since it's purely subjective, he doesn't "feel" like 2 months is enough to feel progression, even though progression is identical or even faster with shorter seasons.

Yes youre probably right.I hope blizzard dosen't changes his mind about the length of the seasons.

You dont , MMR counts. Now if you are in masters already you need aleast 70% loss ratio to get demoted fast
What i try to say , you dont get demotet before 50 games for sure , or you need to lose 40 of 50 games , to get demoted that fast

I remember that you need ~1100 points to come from silver to gold (found this source at battle.net site). In my league, one has already played 950 (!) games and dont have 900 points (he is in top3).

No, you dont need 5 placements to come in a league. i didnt play season 4 and 5 and i only played one placement game.


no.

EDIT (not relevant to the misinformed guy above): The reaosn for shorter seasons is btw to make GM league more flexible.



OR Blizzard could just leave GM as a regular league and let people be promoted/demoted...

I've been getting over 63% winrate on "high platinum" lately, really hoping to get promoted soon, gonna use this final time to try and get to Diamond before S7.

I am very excited about S7, I used S6 to practice and improve my play so much, learned a lot and improved my game. I just watched a game from S5 and compared it to one from S6, feeling good.
Storm is coming that cannot be avoided.

Why does no one get this...

If you fuck around during a lock, you can still lower you MMR which is the main metric in determining whether you get promoted or demoted.

Grinding points to get Top 8 of you division has little to no impact on getting promoted.

Nothing is based on your league rank, it is all about MMR. MMR is the magic behind the scenes. Read Blizzard's own guidelines to earning a promotion. You don't HAVE to have that number of points. Its a rule of thumb, more or less. Read THIS, educate yourselves, and then stop saying stupid shit like, 'Oh I need to use my bonus pool up before the new season." Or "I hope I don't get placed in Plat, then all I will do is lose." All that matters is your hidden MMR, which carries over season to season. New seasons mean... nothing other than giving new people a chance to get into GM and new maps some seasons.

Metalopolis really should fucking go already... Cross TvZ/PvZ is a freaking pain there and TvP usually becomes one base play due to a very wide natural and close air positions.

Anyway, I think Seasons are way too short ,but thanks for the info.

Your placement match for next season is not as important as the 5 initial placement matches. It's just a way for Blizzard to remove inactive players. If you do well enough during the lock, you could lose your placement match, and still be placed into Silver league.


Well, I don't win every match, but I'm Rank 1 or 2 in Bronze with like 670 points. Bronze since Season 1 ;(

I'll have to hope I'm not nervous and win that placement match.


bliz released a post saying that if you had 800+ points by the end of a season you would be promoted after the first game of the following season. This applies to bronze-plat then diamond-> master i think is like 980 points.

tldr: get to 800 points before the end of the lock and youll move up to silver

I don't understand why every map has to have an easily taken natural. Every new map basically has a natural with some kind of ramp or choke that makes it almost as easy to defend as your main. It was cool when Shakuras Plateau was unique.

No, absolutely false. Points are a indicator that you might get a promotion. Read the article by blizz, the link is in my last post, a few posts up. Even in that article, the point necessary value is still stated as 1200, not 800...

Because its a bitch expanding versus allins and cheese on those maps, as any race.
Smaller chokes that make expansions easier to secure are just a nice way of giving some defenders advantage, where as on metal there is no defenders advantage, making a lot of the games their 2 base at the most.
Being able to get on to 2 base without fearing for your life just makes the game more fun to play.

I don't see how new season matters for anyone except for those getting/trying to get into GM.

It's new maps tho, but you don't really need a new season for that.

Ladder version of daybreak has a 8m2g front expansion (not a 6m1rg)
I haven't checked the ladder version of metropolis but im guessing it probably has rocks instead of the creep tumor on the island >.>.
