Just so some people will feel better by occasionally beating someone up real bad? I don't think they will widen it so much that you will be roflstomped. I would think you would just play vs people who are slightly better than you so while you may lose you still have a chance. | ||

Well most of the pros say playing people that are way better than you gives you a better idea of what you need to improve on. As long as the ladder points reflect that they should have a handicap, I don't see much of an issue. It may be as simple as a high level gold player up against a mid level diamond player. I don't think Idra is going to be playing Silver players any time soon. | ||

With less players they need to broad their matchmaking sample so players get matched with others faster. Well see how that turns out. I gotta agree with this. My average wait time is a lot higher than what it was, 3, 2 or even 1 season ago. Around 1 minute minimum, 5 max. | ||

In Plat EU I still get near instant queues. I'm for this, I don't think it will make a big difference in practice you probably won't even notice which players have higher or lower MMRs than you. It will just help people get into games faster and it will help people be promoted and demoted quicker. | ||

People will have their bad habits punished more often by higher level players. Although I have no proof, I feel there were players who used abusive, easily countered play styles that were effective in their league, but then hit a hard wall on the ladder. This may remove some of that, which must be very fustrating for those players if they did not know what they were doing was really bad. I get that, but I don't see how that would make the game more FUN. In fact, I would be more fustrated if I didn't know how good my opponents were and that I have the potential to get stomped instead of having an even game. I think this will just make people want to quit playing even more. | ||

How will they ever get better by playing someone much lower than them? We already don't show losses on players 'diamond and below' to help relieve some of the stress of having a bad record, this is just ruining it for everyone else who isn't afraid to press find game. | ||
