Weirdly enough, from the start of season 7, I, a low bronze nublet, ended up on a 17 game winning streak.
I'm not sure if I got some freaky, freaky draw there or something, but it doesn't seem right that I ended up absolutely roflstomping the ladder during a time when I should have been given stronger opponents.
I had a pretty much opposite experience. Won 5 matches at first but then faced only golds and silvers and I am not either so I ended up on huge losing streaks and winning only 2 out of 10 matches for a long time.

oh sad i used to bash bronze newbs ( im rank 2 master last s ) in 4v4 whole night, it was fun :D

They should keep the matchmaking system, but use it in a more clever way like:
80% of the matches of the same level or league
10% against higher levels
10% against lower leagues
That way you could at least test if you are on par with higher levels considering you are in the top 8 of your division.

Good thing they changed it back, for me atleast.
I had a day i only played alot less skilled people which led to huge mmr gain, next day i was only matches with people way better so i dropped right back.... to wide selection of people you could be matched with which made it kinda random if u meet to good players all day or to bad players all day.

I want = - + system
1.match even
2.me favored
3. unfavored
and even favored ufavored again again and all will be happy and me tooo please  ......

The problem was that you didn't know when you were playing someone significantly better/weaker than you.
It's not the same thing as playing against a friend you know is a lower league than you, if I go into a game and have to spend 10 minutes determining how much worse a player is than me, I'm going to continue using my regular play incase he isn't worse. And in the case of 'better' players, it's often hard to determine whether he's just a high member of your league or much higher than you until it's too late. And better players are often much better at abusing openings (holes) in weaker players strategies, so it can be challenging to know whether or not your build is bad, your macro was bad, or your strategy is bad, because those are all exploitable.
If there was a big icon on the loading screen saying like, "this player is majorly favoured" and it did the same thing in the replay or something, then I would think it's a great change. I also think you should have lost no points to playing better players, as many people in this thread, myself included, went on big losing streaks to players ahead of us.
(I lost 7 games in a row to low masters players, but I ended up feeling really shitty because I wasn't entirely sure whether it was them outplaying me or me underperforming.)
All in all, happy to see it go, but I wish they had executed it better because I feel like it could be a beneficial to laddering, except to the top top pros, it just sucks for them. Maybe top 8 masters + GM shouldn't have it if the reimplement in the future?

I dont know why but suddenly i have lost for 2 days even after they removed it and i dropped down a league, a league which i had no problem getting into before.. good job blizz, fucking with something that was fine to begin with imo.....
|
wow, that sucks.. sort of preferred the new system
playing opponents better than you = better practice, though being on the contrary side it's kind of nerve-wrecking

Sure, it would only work in cases where the weak and strong are looking for each other, but things like that make the service better.
This fellow is on to something here!

This would skew the win rate depending on which options the player chooses.

Glad about the change. Played my first game in 3 months a few days ago, and got horribly dominated even though I had a surprisingly good game. It was only afterwards that I found out I played a gm player on a huge win streak. Was wondering how after 3 months of being absent, my MMR managed to pair me against someone of this caliber.

i got some diamond players constanty cheesing me so gay

I really wish the game would show what league your opponent was in rather than just the vague "opponent is slightly favored" and etc we currently have.
|
Hmm I didn't even get to experience this trial.
|
Is this why I've got utterly crushed since the start of season 7, with the exception of a couple of people so bad I thought they were in placement?

Damn no wonder lol. I didn't ladder until after it was reverted >.< I wanted to see what it was like playing vs some GMs lol.

Wow nice idea, I wonder why they don't do it? (well maybe that's obvious, they're busy and still have a lot of other things to implement xD)

 I didn't mind the changes....
