I'm no longer going to feel false pride from being top 8, I'll know I've earned my place there. No, you might not have.. The only thing this change shows you is that 800 points in division A is the same as 800 points in division B now. You could still be rank 50 with 800 points in one division, and rank 1 with 800 points in another, and your "global ranking" and skill level, mmr could be identical in both. Before, you could be +- hundreds of points in one division due to offsets and not be able to measure or compare via points, now you can. Division ranking was always and still is a horrible means of ranking skill unless all bonus pool is spent and you are at least diamond/master where half the divisions are not 2-months-afk, and even then, you should be comparing points, now that you actuly can, instead of being top 8 of some arbitrary pool of 100 random people | ||

So it's a great change in my book. | ||

It should be adding statistics (i.e. average game length) not removing them! Just install SC2 Gears and you got this. | ||

There's no reason we should be adding 3rd party programs to see stats we can't see due to shitty policy. | ||

"Since it is plural" is not a complete sentence. I just wanted to keep the string of grammatical corrections going. I still don't fully understand this tiering thing and why they won't show MMR. | ||
