I am surprised they didn't implement it over night to be honest. There was also some site maintenance being done on Battle.net the site proper as well this morning. I suppose Blizzard has some other stuff they were rolling out too. | ||

I don't think the tier removal will do much. Not many spend their bonuspool, and probably the divisions won't be balanced at all. I don't think that is possible without changing players during the season. | ||

So what people dont use bonus pool ? What bonus pool have to do with that disscusion ? I dont get it. Divisions will be now balanced perfectly , it will be end of diamond players that have 700-800 points and was in TOP 5 in division , and then they write they are top diamond players.. when in other divsion top 10 diamond players was siting at 1200 , or even more points. Now you gonna know your real position in diamond for example , and all that players that was top 5 with 800 points will be maby in top 30 or even under 30 place. It is good because someone who hit top 5 with 700-800 points in "bad" diamond division , was thinking that he is near master skill lv , and that is not true.. he just was in low tier diamond division. Dont know how you thinking , but I for example wanna know my real position in diamond league. | ||

Why is everyone spreading this kind of completley false information? These scenarios you described, where divisions exist that will have Top 5 players at 800 points, and other divisions where top 5 is at 1200, will still exist. Removing tiers won't effect this circumstance in any way. Removing tiers means that a 1200 diamond player will be pretty much as good as another diamond player at 1200 points. Nothing more. There will still be weak divisions where you can become top 8 without having lots of points compared to the other divisions. edit. to clear things up, prior to the change, lower tiered players got "free points" (offsets) to their points added so that it looked as if they were evenly rated as higher tiered players, but in fact were very lower skilled than the high ones. THUS you couldn't compare player skills by their ladder points at leagues under master. Only this is possible now. | ||

And you are wrong. Now players will be mixed , no good/bad division anymore. "Ladder Tier Removal Currently not all divisions within a League are created equal. Individual divisions are actually assigned to different "tiers", and players are assigned to tiers based on skill. This system hasn't been very transparent, making it to determine your next promotion. For example, if you're in a lower tiered Diamond division, just getting to Rank 1 doesn't necessarily mean you'll see a promotion soon. With the goal of increasing transparency for ladder players, we're removing tiers from the ladder with the commencement of 2012 Season 4. The removal of tiers from all leagues will allow players to better gauge exactly where they're at on the ladder and how far away they are from the next league. After this change, climbing to (for example) Rank 2 Diamond will mean that you are in the top 2% of all Diamond players, and you are very close to moving into the Master League. Similarly, Rank 50 Platinum is in the top 50% in the Platinum league, and so forth. We'll be examining how well this works over the course of the coming season, and make a determination if we'll keep the system for the long term or make further adjustments, if needed. Good luck, have fun!" Its clear for me ...IF you are in top 10 diamond you are in top 10% diamond players in region so .. going by your logic.. someone with 800 points and rank 4-5 is in top 5 % players ? When other divisions have top 10 with 1200+ points ? Try to think.. | ||

There was not a single wording on this by Blizzard. If they start filling the divisions by player skill instead of "first come, first serve" now, this was 100% unannounced. I'm pretty sure Blizzard would have announced such a change. Which they didn't | ||
