What do you suggest in order to have people gain or lose a rank? It should be transparent, and the point system is fair. You're rank 3 and have 1200 points? Ok, I have 1201 points, so I should be rank 2. Points are just an indicator how far you're from the next rank. If they omit them, then there's no way to know from a player's view. | ||

Its way more simple. Its a lie! Like before points are meaningless. But we are able to calculate mmr more accurate. | ||

Their statement wasn't meant to imply that you could see what percentile you were in terms of MMR. What it meant was that you could compare point values and rankings between any two divisions in a league and be on the same baseline. For example, 1300 pts in one division might have corresponded to 1200 points in another division, in the old system. In the new, 1300 points means the same thing in all divisions in a given league. You still cannot compare across leagues. So no, being rank 2 doesn't mean 98th percentile among all MMRs of everyone in your league. What it does mean is that you're at 98th percentile for points including bonus pool. If every player used up all their bonus points, being rank 2 actually would come pretty close to being 98th percentile in MMR, on average. At least now, if two gold league players in different divisions want to compare their performance, and both play enough to use up their bonus pool, they can look at their relative point scores and see how close or far their MMRs are from each other, because point scores converge on MMR. | ||

If you can't admit that you're bad in sc2, you will forever remain bad. To Cougars: Silver league had a number of division tiers under the old system, which meant that a score of 930 at the end of the season might have corresponded to someone else's 600 depending on what tier you were in. Also, everyone places "low" in their division in a new season -- after their placement, they're basically randomly ordered from 1 to 100 until people start playing a lot and their points converge on their MMR. To ZwuckeL: It's possible (maybe Excalibur_Z can get an answer on this?) that in removing tiers in lower divisions they altered the degree of league overlap or the overall league boundaries. That might cause someone to place into an unexpected league. Over the past few seasons I've now slipped from Platinum to Silver, while my play has generally improved (looking at objective metrics from tools like sc2gears), so I'd guess that there's a bigger shift going on, probably lower league or more casual players dropping out entirely. Edit: (I was promoted back to Gold after maybe 10 games, so I wouldn't want to extrapolate too much from my experience.) So happy for this...now I get to tank my account into silver and troll people with cannons and carriers :D So good news for you diamond people in whatever division im in (lol) you can have my spot in masters. I wonder if there are enough people doing this to affect the integrity of ladder rankings? I'm not entirely sure what the effect on the people around them would be -- the games won to people who just leave while on the way down might cancel out the games they win with cannons and carriers, though since those games won and lost are uncorrelated with the other player's skill, it might just have the effect of adding random noise to everyone else's ratings. Two of the first three games I played were people beating me with exactly the same aggressive early push, timed almost to the second, when I hadn't seen that particular opening more than once or twice in the last 200 games. (I almost never see well-timed anything at my level.) One of those guys had placed into bronze this season. I'm guessing a lot of people have had the idea to tank their ratings and troll people. | ||
