Hate this change, tired of getting games worth +3/-20 points at low masters, much rather play an even match vs an opponent at my level than getting crushed by a much better player or getting cheesed by a worse one.

LOL i know that feeling

I've been in diamond for the past year and a half, ever since season one, lol. And yet, for some reason, this is the only season when I haven't been able to get top 8 with ease. I'm having to play a lot more, and i'm still barely making top 25...

I think I have played an unusual amount of master's players, and a few platinums mixed in, so it feels like the whole ladder system is different than it used to be for me. Maybe I'm just in a tougher division this time? I'm really not sure, but something feels quite different.

Why are people so worried about their opponent? If you're trying to improve your game then it doesn't matter if your opponent is right at your skill level, you still have holes to improve on.

This would explain the 0-6 slide I've had today, and why the hell I was playing a GM in diamond.

Interesting. I'd rather play a bunch of masters players and lose all my games than play other diamonds all day, so I think this is a really good thing. I also dont mind playing a bunch of platinum players to rack up some wins. Either way, I'm happy.

Hopefully they get this whole system right. Honestly, the original system (which they seem to keep reverting too) was okay in my opinion. For top players I can imagine the que times to be long but, that comes with being at the top.

Seems like the MMR range is still huge? Why is it so huge. If I am a 500 masters player, pairing me up with 200-800 masters players (assuming I'm winning 50% and not "improving" relatively) is fine, instead of just 400-600. Mid diamond can face high diamond or low diamond. But gold or masters? please no o.o

Sitting in diamond, everyone I've played today has been either Masters or Plat

This. I'm close to masters as well but hard to get promoted when I play the same plat Terran 3 games in a row for 15 points -_- .

Im diamond and I've played a top master who had a 78% win rate the other day.

Matchmaking was fine before, theres a lot of other things they could be working on other than this -_-
