I've never been top 8 master in multiplayer, but I have been from rank 10-16 before, and the most ive waited was 2 minutes. But I can see your wait time is ridiculous. It sucks because you dont really want to play with or against bad players, so you dont want it to just give you people right away. However, there isnt much you can do about it. People are starting to drop out of this game for new ones that are coming out, and games like LoL and dota. Plus, apparently (according to the popular belief) most players are of bronze-gold skill level, so you dont have a high population at your mmr. As for getting top masters by playing at the end of the season: no one gives a shit. Ladder rank, league, points, all dont mean jack shit. They are simply there to make you feel good and keep you playing; eye candy. If being top8 master with 4 games played makes you feel good, then keep doing it, but it doesnt mean anything to anyone else, so it isnt a problem. | ||

Well if your mentally disabled in some way this can maybe work out for you....i mean if you really feel better if your rank 1 in your division instead of rank X in any other division (while having the same skill, mmr and points), then this maybe is a great thing....but as i say this requires quite a bit of stupidity to trick yourself into this, (don t expect anyone other to be "tricked" by this, because everyone knows that only points and mmr matter and not rank). The point that this is about teamrankings makes it even worse.... and overall, I m not a friend of postings who describe how to trick a system or abuse something for your own benefit (well in this case there isnt even a benefit for your, but still you know what i mean) i see how you think this system is unfair, and maybe your intention was not give a guide how other people can abuse this, but only to point out its a bad system....but the thread name says something different....and even if i repeat myself, it doesn t matter if this system if bad or good, because no one gives a shit | ||

Of course at the start of the season, when you get placed on a new division, it's easy to get top 8 (sometimes you will be placed straight into top 8 if the division is new enough!), but you go down eventually as the days and weeks pass! So I didn't really understand what we must get from this thread, sorry! :/ Sorry you didn't understand it. I made it as clear as possible, did you read the whole thing? You are right. When you get placed in a new division it IS easy to get top 8. The point is DAYS AND WEEKS do NOT pass by. Like I said in my post, when you place on the LAST DAY of the season, the league does not have enough time to get competitive. If you play just a couple games you can be top 8. Please re-read my post to make more sense of this. | ||

This PROTOTYPE noob is a perfect example of what you're talking about. he waited till the last day to place his 1v1 AND his 2v2 because he knows just how bad he really is. I know who PROTOTYPE is and I know for a fact that he maphacks and only plays games when some1 is smurfing on a bronze account for him. Like going from low plat everything to rank 1 world masters in 3s is just not possible without texpoilting smurfing and maphacks. Your solutions that you thought of for this issue on how blizzard can fix this, seem very viable. I agree with you completely. for those who thinkthis is actually think this is a 'how to guide". It's not, Poptartsplash is bringing this issue into the light because it is bogus and too easy to do. I've seen many lower than master skill level players reach top masters by doing this. I'll admit ive used a smurf aswell, not to make my opponents easier but to lower the queue time because I aswell have very high MMR and cant stand to wait 10+ minutes for a game i only get 5 points for. The 1v1 part of this thread that was mentioned about getting top 8 in your division with ease by waiting till the last day of the season to do your 1 placement match. Really just proves to every1 that you were leveled once and do this just to look good on ur career summary every season. And, if PROTOTYPE reads this i hope he gets smart, stops maphacking and goes back to plat to learn how to actually play instead of being a total fake, cheating and exploiting the game's flaws. I agree with Poptartflash if you didnt get that by now. | ||

It was a bit interesting due to it's complexity at first but I wish they would please drop this Division stuff. I would really like the "behind-the-scenes" MMR to be displayed in some fashion and a percentile/total/tier ranking. | ||

Actually it's very possible to up from plat to master in one or two season. It's not because you can't do it then other ppl can't do it either. One of my teammate did Bronze => Plat => Master in 2 seasons and I personnally up from plat to master in one, with like 500 games. And I promise you I don't cheat, I justed trained well with good players. | ||

About long waiting time I agree, that is a problem and should be fixed, I think it also occurred with pro's, having too high MMR to be able to play on ladder at all, you should write it on Blizzard's forums so they will know about your solution. (I like btw, nice thinking  ) | ||
