Although it's a good change, your ranking is still inaccurate and I don't understand why they don't just show your mmr. If it somehow scares off casuals, just put it somewhere hard to find or requestable by a /rating ingame or whatever.

If i am the best player in my division, but i don't deserve to be top 1% of me league, what happens? Do they have to keep changing the players in my division, or changing the division where i stand ? That's kind of a mess though, no?

Good changes. This is a step in the right direction for the ladder.

Well, they now change it when Hots (closed)beta is released. I mean changig the system after over 2years the way it should be designed right from the start is good, but pretty pretty darn late.

Still appreciate it tho.

Why not just have only 1 Division per League?

That way, each ranking would be unique and much more accurate..
Ok, the Division would be huge and some people would be like Rank 5000, but so what?

I think that would be much easier to understand..

Ladder tier means theirs different tiers in each league/division so just because you are at rank 1 in diamond you could be at a low tier division in diamond meaning you probably won't be promoted just because of that. This change will make it easier to tell where you are in terms of skill and whether you will be promoted or not.

Couldn't agree more on this, had exactly the same thought. But at the same time i'm pretty sure they don't do this because they don't wanna frustrate players who aren't that good. Pretty much the same reason why they removed displayed losses from all leagues but Masters and GM i guess...

to make more ppl feel good that they are ranked high, even though compared to higher tiers of the same league they would be placed more towards the bottom.

So much this. It feels a bit like the "everyone get's a trophy" philosophy. This, coupled with not showing losses and such, forcing other alternatives for gathering useful data (SC2Ranks), feels a bit too much like Blizzard's handholding people in ladder. "It's okay, Johnny, look, you're #5!" I believe most of us would be content having the real information and don't need any sort of manipulation to make us "feel good" about statistics in a computer game.

I usually don't like one-line happy posts, but with the remote possibility that someone Blizzard will ever look at this thread, I think we should make a lot of them to show the love!

So, yes, this a great step in the right direction!

Agreed. The only drawback is the listing of players because it is huge, but I think a searchbox could fix that as well as paging. Even if I was ranked 5000 or something it would only make me want to ladder more to see that rank rise as the number would be more accurate and meaningful.

Great news!I'm lovin it...now if they would just give our Win/Lose ratio back i'm a happy man.


Why you need it.. ? You cant make simple math .. ?
From patch 1.5 you can see in profile " games played this season" , and in ladder window he see wins.
Its very simple to plus/minus then , and you have your win ratio.
