I think I also suck really badly, because I've won like 4 matches this season, and lost at least 2 times that. My opponents are kicking my ass. I mean, its one sided hulk smashing, bone crushingly one sided. I swear to god, if I get demoted down to Gold, I will up and delete this horrid game immediately. | ||

I have been having a pretty easy time trying to get back to masters. I think ive lost 2 games out of 10 to unscouted all ins. One was 3 base baneling and I lost my core before I could get more sentries, then the other was a cannon rush. I always feel the beginning of the season is generally harder because you face more all ins wherein one mistake in holding it and you lose. | ||

Now, Bronze-Diamond players will be able to use SC2Ranks to know their exact ranking, they can compare themself with others players based on their ladder rating, like we could always do in Master. Division system is still stupid & useless because of the "first play, first placed". Good players almost always play the first day (or the following) of a season. The more division created, the less skilled these divisions are. Casual players (who play only few games in a season) don't play the first day and are inactive players, at the bottom of new divisions. A top 8 in a new division would be like top 50 in one of the first divisions. Blizzard failed with this division system, at least everyone can use SC2Ranks to have a real ranking system now.  | ||

Hmmm thats a good point I never thought about that first day of play thing... | ||

No problems on my end; I'm not attached to my rank, but the only way that rank can truly correlate with overall league standing is if they constantly rearrange divisions. At that point you'd have to ask what the purpose of having them at all would be. Well its not like you play against people just in your division, so as long as youre getting points even if other people in your division are as well you will all eventually get promoted, I dont think this is a problem | ||

Yeah your right. they should just have one division worldwide. Yeah im 15234050523040 th today!! See how stupid that would be? Blizzard didnt fail with that system, they had to choose some kind of sample to create something interesting. 100 is good. | ||

 . Im getting absolutely smacked down for some reason, last season I was top 2 and playing masters people, now im like 40th and facing the occasional plat player. Slump or the new division system? For the record over my last like 30 games I think ive won 10 and my highest career ranking was like top 50 masters last summer, went on haiatus for awhile and now I suck. Sort of a long winded and weird question but Im getting really discouraged because I have no idea what happened and why I am suddenly so bad. | ||

The leagues, divisions, and all that are just a cosmetic layer on top of that. Blizzard can shuffle the way they setup leagues and divisions all they want, it's not going to affect who you play against. Also, for masters league, nothing changed, since no division-tiers existed there to begin with. | ||

It looks like it's actually up to date, just labeled wrong. Note how there's no GM numbers for all the regions except China, where Season 9 hasn't rolled out yet. | ||

Who you're playing has not changed at all, it's still the same MMR system. For every game that you (or another person) plays against a player better than them, that player plays somebody worse than them. The system can't be any harder or easier than before, since for every hard game for one person, there's an easy game for someone else. It's a zero sum game. | ||
