not sure how much time i'm gonna spend laddering after this change, can't see the point as getting practice partners is now by far better not only for practice but for closer, and thus more fun games as well! | ||

I really did not like the variability of playing my games. Even matches were a friggin' godsend. I don't mind waitign slightly longer Low Masters here (I think? I dunno. I've been playing diamonds and top 10 masters everywhere lolol) | ||

After my games today i had a winrate of 40% and i'm quite unhappy with this change. I suppose it's not that big of an issue for the like plat+ players because they have a chance to win against a masters player. But i personaly think that there is no way a semi good silver player or mid-low gold player can beat a top 8 ranked plat or diamond player. If they manage to beat them (in like one of 10-20 games) the other player messed up terribly and nothing is won experiencewise for the lower players. In my opinion nobody is able to learn anyting from these games and it makes it way harder to get into a higher league. Overall it makes the game on my lvl just quite frustrating *sigh* | ||

I am top 8 masters in my division and still getting diamonds yay I am favored they cheese me and I love 30 points to some scrub love this game. <-- is raging really hard right now. So GM's and Bronzers only play even games and for the rest its pretty much mixed up or how can i understand this? | ||

Instead they force it upon us and ruin the only thing that was actually good about battle.net 02. : it (was) really good at matching you against people that are exactly as good as you are. | ||

I don't mind golds... but plats seems a bit excessive for my (low) skill level... | ||

People moaned about match-making before this was in place, moaned at the change, and are now moaning at this improvement attempt. Maybe give it a couple of weeks, get a decent sample size and report back on your experiences then? Could that be more productive? | ||

I HATE playing people far below my skill level and I nearly hate playing pros just as much. Sure I probably had some complaints about the previous matchmaking system but I will gladly take it back after having this new one for a few days... Haha, I get it Blizzard! You're sick of hearing us complain about battle.net 0.2, so you're trying to make us grateful for what we had by letting us have a taste of a terrible matchmaking system! Problem is... I think we're just going to complain about both now! :p Please revert changes T_T AND please give us LAN (g-_-)-o and then we'll <3 u! | ||

For example I play protoss and the mid/low platinum terrans I was getting matched against normally are starting to do quite a few more 1/1/1 and all in builds that gold terans dont do. I have trouble against them but I accept that i need to learn and I was slowly learning from them. The thing is they dont execute these builds so well but I havent faced them much so I was slowly learning them - but still losing most of them. Then suddenly I face diamond terrans who pull the builds of so much better that I feel as though its pointless even trying. I can't learn much at all from a game like that because there are all sorts of issues, micro issues, build issues, reaction problems, etc etc. All of these build up a huge amount more when I'm faced against much better players. I don't learn anything from it and it isn't "fun" at all. Losing isn't fun, I accept I am going to lose sometimes and that's fine, but losing in games where it feels like I don't have a chance at all is far from fun and far from an acceptable loss, it just feels like a waste of my time and probably a waste of the favoured players time who gets very few points and also learns nothing. Also, it's not like I play perfectly every game, although I do win most games when I'm favoured, I do lose a few as well and that is irritating - not fun, just irritating. As I say, people who find it fun could just switch the option to be mismatched on and people who don't like it (which I honestly think would be the majority of ladder players) can switch it off and learn the get better at a steady manageable pace. | ||

The matchmaking has been completely stupid since the very start of the season even during their 'reverted' period. Many of us have extremely stable MMR and it's very obvious what the changes have done to our matches. And almost no one complained about matchmaking before. People complained about pretty much everything in B.NET 2.0 (much of it unwarranted IMO), but not matchmaking. | ||

I fully agree, I dont need to play 50 or even 100 games before I can realize that this new system sucks... I am a borderline gold/ plat player and I got paired up against a diamond yesterday. Well, I got stomped and lost 2 points... he gained one single whopping ladder point. Where's the sense in that? Thanks Blizz... | ||

I'm not quite sure what exactly is going on with the matchmaking system, but I would like to get off this rollercoaster =) (I'm Silver.) Ranking from bronze to platinum is really not very suggestive of skill, well bronze to gold anyway... A high bronze can easily be skill wise equal to a low gold. The difference isn't comparable to plat > diamond or diamond > masters skill gaps. so that isn't very strange at all | ||
