I could like this no tier thing, maybe. But after a couple matches it will just be another day on the ladder. | ||

It is more pleasant to be close to the one above your rank so you can actually catch up with him within a few games. If you have 200 points to go just to gain one rank its much less encouraging. So I'd say if you want to have divisions, this tier thing is OK. If you want to globally compare players, its not transparent. But why would you have division then anyway? Ohh and btw: +1 for having losses visible again.  Then that means you haven't read the Ladder Guide sticky! Division tiers are small "sub-leagues" that span a more narrow range of MMR. The lower tiers are given point offsets to counterbalance the lower average skill, effectively normalizing the point ranges for a league. | ||

How are the points offset displayed? Are they in your total points display? If they are, does that mean it's including the calculation and points offset when you win or lose a match and gain more or less points depending on your tier within a league? | ||

So guys we need to change up the ladder poll a bit for season 9, what should we do? Well our reasources are currently extremly limited so we will have to make do with what we got. Well I heard that players dont really like rocks at the 3rd. So if we remove rocks at the 3rd from all maps, then everyone will be more happy. Currently the only map with rocks at the 3rd is Tal darim. Ow yeah! I saw that map in a tournoment like a year ago. I liked it. Okey we remove rocks from tal darim! We have a map poll! Sir what about Metropolis? What?! No! That map has rocks at the natural choke, what makes you think people would want that map! Now back to hots everyone! I really want to kill myself. I REALLY hope blizzard makes some more changes ow god. | ||

Oh nvm, i only read the op diagonally. I thought what they were gonna do is basically have top 1% of a league be shown as rank 1, top 1% to 2 % shown as rank 2 , 49% to 50% shown as rank 50... etc Now in understood that they simply make divisions lower than master be randomized and even again... I didn't even knew they were not. | ||

Retire Shakura's and TDA for the love of god. Add any of the dozens of incredible maps available. At the very least, add Metropolis back in. It's just a real shame... I want new maps aswell. I appreciate the ranking system change but this season was so long I really hoped blizz would spice ladder up a bit. At least they could put Metropolis back in after they took it out 'temporarily until it is fixed'. | ||

You can now compare yourself to everyone else and know when to expect promotion, but only if EVERYONE uses all of their bonus pool? If we are comparing based on points, then everyone would need the same baseline. So it seems to me that this change means nothing in diamond and below since there's tons of people that have lots of bonus pool who will be lower ranked (in our eyes) than their actual skill level since their hidden MMR keeps them where their actual ranking is. Since very few people have to worry about trying to get into GM from masters, what exactly does this change accomplish? You can now compare yourself to other people if and only if you both have the same amount of bonus pool, and global percentile will always be inflated due to stagnant bonus pool on other individuals? | ||
