Damnit lost to a protoss who took his third at 6:30 which I only saw when I watched the replay afterwards . He was mid/high masters so I'm getting there. Got placed into dia again though..

I believe in you! And with your rank last season it should be possible! ;D




Personally I'd just like to get out of my bloody losing streak! But the good news is that since I've been losing this much I'm gonna get a positive win/loss ratio this season! yay! I think... :p

so blizzard widened the search parameters for this season right? Well I have tal darim vetoed and I just played it, so the parameters now force you to play maps you don't want to? or maybe it was a bug? I dunno but just beware.

Go to the chat "sc2improve" on EU, it's a community of bronze-plat players who practice together, have tournaments etc. Just go in there, let them know your race, rank and what you want to play and I'm sure you'll find someone fitting, there's usually at least 40 people in there, sometimes over 100.

it's more exciting for sure to play versus lower/higher skill players than you, instead of playing against similar skill player

I'm loving season 7 so far. 4 games, 4 times PvP, 4 wins (I love PvP). Gotta love mirror match ups. Would like it if Blizzard would throw some Terrans and Zerg at me too.

Same for me, it's a joke, I lose to players I would have assraped easily before my break.

Ah well, playing instead of bitching will get us up there again, no worries.

Grats!


I hope you realize the 1 placement does not really determine where you're placed. The mmr you've build through the last season does. So you've probably been a high diamond player. If you're playing masters you could easilly get a promotion if you keep playing, winning and improving Good luck with that (^_^)

Sometimes MMR is just being weird. In season 4 I eventually got demoted to Platinum because I sucked, plain and simple. Season 5 I played maybe 5 matches and got placed into Platinum. Season 6 I did not play at all. Now I just lost my placement match and got put in Diamond again. Wat.

Could possibly have to do with the number of active players. But it's still kinda weird.

Won my placement, got demoted from plat to gold... that's what you get for trying to switch to a macro-based play.

Well, but at least I'm having fun

Lost placement match, promoted to Diamond League :D I think I deserve it though, I played very hard during the time just before the season reset. It finally paid off.

placed rank 8 with main account and rank 3 with second account, both masters.
1st match on my main vs: EmpireHAppy = LOL
2nd match on my second vs: AiHEADHUNTER = TOSS IMBA? :D

Both reached mid game, but my lack of practice (on 2 games last week) didn't payed off
Placed masters again, hunting that GM.

got a guy that tought he would get into masters if he wins

i go, yo man i don't think so, i was mid-diamond last season, you wouldn't play me.

he goes, nooo uraaagh you'll see.

i lose, demoted to platinum. he ends up in same division as me.

1v1 ladder is getting brutal it seems, no place for casuals :D

Placed back in platinum this morning, so far 13-12

Gonna hammer out another 20-30 games or so this evening see if I can shift that ratio upwards.

I was actually worried about falling into gold because of my inactivity last season.. instead I lost against a diamond in placement and was placed in platinum... next match, matched against a diamond again. So I guess my MMR isn't THAT low at least.

Wtf did they do to the matchmaking system. I'm around high diamond, low master at the moment. One game I play against a guy who was in plat last season and crush him, next one I'm against a top 8 master who destroys me. At least half of the matches have the opponent "favored" at start.

Master league for the 7th time! I think they should add another league or make master harder to get to. Because the skill between low master and GM is to high. When ur low master you barely know the basics.

Take a look at the Community section in Battle.net, and browse through the posts that Blizzard has been putting up recently. There you will find a post which details the changes made to the matchmaking system, and how it all will work from now on. You're welcome :D

Horrible start into this season.

I started with the lamest gametype to get warm and worked my way up.

4v4
The other guys were way better but I managed to take two guys of the enemy out (at least their armies) before they did any damage. Lost it nonetheless, placed into diamond again.

3v3
We went for double 10 pool and dealt no damage. That put us behind and we lost. Also because my toss teammate managed to get out like 12 blink stalkers while the enemy had double the amount. -.-" Well done. Lost it too. Diamond again.

Skipped 2v2 because I only play it with friends.

1v1
Against a toss on metropolis. I thought to myself "well if I were him I'd cannon there right behind the mineral line" but I DIDN'T LOOK THERE MYSELF. One minute later, my hatch was nearly done... cannons... Then I thought to myself "fuck this guy I'm going all-in!" and then my scouting overlord flew right into his defensive cannon at his natural... supplyblocked me hard. Ragequit XD Diamond again.

I read that when it first came out, liked the idea but they went way overboard with it.

Hmm. Is smth wrong with the ladder? Look at the screen. How is it possible that 4 guys have the same score(77) and they got 1, 2, 2 and 3 wins?

Got demoted to plat after losing my placement match, only to get promoted back to diamond after 4 wins vs. plat opponents... not sure what happened there, I thought it would take more wins.

Diamond! Finally... (although I have no clue as to why, haven't been playing any better than the last couple of seasons :/)
I am a happy man.

Edit: spelling, got a little too exited there

Hi, a question for ladder experts.... i was masters last season and got masters too this season. i was 650 masters, got promoted from diamond and then played smth like 23-27 in masters, did okay.

now in the new season i getlots of diamonds and i am favoured, so i either get +8 or -16, what is up with that? i should be gettint masters players not only diamonds, and my MMR cant be really in diamond, else i would not be favoured all the time but even with them, neithehr them nor i did play many games this season, normally then everyone is favoured and gets lots of points, except me!? This is so dangerous because you cvant always win, if i loose i loose so much points and wont get up the ranks... i win against the masters i get...

Thanks...

This thread with all the promotion statements looks like collegeconfidential children bragging about their college acceptances. (As you can figure out I'm grumpy about not getting mine).

Thats normal for the start of a season. A lot of people cheese their placement matches.


I 8 pylon gate gate'd some Protoss because I meant to veto Korhal Compound, accidentally vetoing Ohana, proceeded to get Korhal. Won, got placed. Then I fixed my vetoes and got Ohana, DT expanded and lost. Then trying to sneak in a game before LO3 I got another Protoss on Metalopolis, Cannon Rushed him and won. What I'm trying to say Blizzard is, can I have something that isn't Protoss?

I Just finished my 5 placement matches. Season 5 I was bronze, season 6 I didn't play, Season 7 I am diamond! I have no clue how that happened but I won all five of my placement matches.
