I never really noticed any changes while I was laddering. The opponents I was facing where around the same skill that I would expect to face any other season.

Personally I didn't like it. After the initial change I wont 10 out of 14 games because It pitted me against lower teir players, sure I got two play two masters out of the 14 games which was cool (and I won those games btw) but the majority of the games were against low teir diamond. Now with the change I'm back to about a 50%~60% win ratio rather than that ridiculous 71% which means I am getting more consistent practice which will help me more in the long run.

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.

True and im sure some people would mark up Weaker opponents as well.

So you´re sayin that his opponents which were not as good as him making the game more exciting. To be honest that does not make any sense at all.

I found it kind of annoying because I'd win against a masters player (play is relatively predictable and makes sense) and then lose to a platinum player that did an all in I haven't seen in months and forgot even existed.

BTW....platinum players seem like the most BM of all players...many think they're really good and call people newbs a lot. And not even after the game but at the start, during, and after regardless if they win or not.

Just found it annoying.

You got matched with Masters and Platinum players? I find this highly unlikely.

I played around 10-15 games since the start of the season and, being mid diamond, I faced: 2 or 3 high diamond players and ONE #1 ranked platinum player who was like on a 10 game winning streak. The rest were all around my level.

Wow a random survey taken of the people in this thread would indicate that everyone here smashes people above them, loses to people below them because they're not playing correctly, but likes the revert to the old MM system.

Even though they experimented with some changes, it's good to see a steady stream of delusion to anchor it all down

Pretty sure you said that wrong. He said it makes it a lot less exciting, since his opponents weren't able to keep up?

How in the world are you calling him out? You said yourself you've experienced a plat, and some high diamonds (virtually interchangeable with masters) and you've played a measly 10-15 games? If anything, your evidence is in support of his claims.

I thought the system was pretty stupid. On my plat account I was playing kids in top bronze. The games were laughably bad. I thought the guy was trolling me then I remembered what blizz did to match making and all the foolishness made sense.

I thought it was great, I didn't play against anyone easier, only "Favored" and "Slightly Favored" opponents. I thought it was really upping the difficulty level for me which I enjoyed.
