The MMR is too strict. Every opponent I get is JUST like me. We both have same issues, spending, and it ends up being a life or death struggle for 45 minutes. Each game is too hard. Incomes, armies and Tech all seem to balance so much that it becomes a deadlock. Making a wider range does 3 things: 1) Shorten wait times. No need to find someone closer to perfect MMR. 2) Shorter games that are harder, as a Diamond player I will get to experience more asswhoopins from Masters players, and learn the gameplay. 3) Shorter games from winning against Platinum players, who get to see what Diamond strats look like and I also get to see how I've progressed and try new things. Day9 has said it's important to get to play against a wide variety of people. Playing harder opponents allows you to test your best strats and see how long you can last and how solid your play is. Playing easier opponents allows you to test NEW strategies and have a little bid more wiggle room while experimenting. This has been needed for a few seasons now. Even at the end of beta I was noticing "all these games are just too hard", each player rages for 45 minutes because neither of us can seem to get a leg up. | ||

Stop saying you are gonna be stomped by someone way better than you, when thats not the case at all. Blizzard said slightly higher or lower, not a whole league or 2 higher or lower. I swear most people dont even read the post, but instead just skim through it and then post their own 2cents which turns out to be completely wrong. Have you picked the brain of David Kim? How can you tell that by slightly lower or lightly higher that he doesn't mean a whole league below you? Never make conclusions about blizzard because half the shit they do makes no sense. | ||

With a larger MMR range you will find matches much quicker in the dead of night. However they may be one sided stomps for either side more frequently. | ||

i was under the impression that ppl wanted a more competitive ladder, not a high/low type of system | ||

Just so some people will feel better by occasionally beating someone up real bad? Players will be match against other players that are SLIGHTLY better. You should spend some time trying to understand what is said before declaring the idea to be stupid. | ||

Never make conclusions about blizzard because half the shit they do makes no sense. sigh...you have been matched against players that are slightly favored before (that is what usually happens when you are facing promotion). You don't get matched against pros, just against someone that has a better mmr than you do...It seems that everything blizzard is saying is that you will get more of those slightly favored opponents. They already have a more or less precise notion of "slightly favored", and it certainly does not mean a whole league above you... | ||

Also, I bet they will make it so that a loss against someone higher than you doesn't kill your MMR as much as a loss against people lower than you (actually I think this is already true) | ||

Being matched up with someone significantly worse or better than you is neither fun nor useful. isn't the whole point of matchmaking to match you up with someone of close to equal skill level? so stupid. It's funny that when someone say "slightly better or worst" you understand "significantly better or worst"...I wonder who is the stupid one... | ||
