If "leaving league" is faster than 54 free looses, could be cool  Don't play any ranked game including team games on that account for an entire season and your MMR will be reset aka 5 placement matches. Don't try losing streak to demote youself tho, it's against the ToS and could get you banned. Or she can just play in unranked, it would only take a few losses to stablize her unranked MMR. | ||

I havn't played any Unranked matches, so if you want me to Leave League and test out your theory about it using Unranked MMR if it can (causing 1 placement match) and resetting if it can't (causing 5 placement matches), let me know. I would expect to play 5 more in this case. By all means, if you don't mind doing that =) | ||

For example a diamond who want to have some "fun" ripping up bronzes leaves leagues, loses placement matches, places in bronze and there we go. If he want to go back to diamond he'll be there in a week since he'll just crush everything game after game up till he hits high plat... and wouldnt this make portrait farming quite easy too, with the same technique... if you are a decent player you just go for it, once you get to much competition, leave league and restart from bronze... I imagine "Leave League" is exactly the same as playing the first match of a season. The Placement match does absolutely nothing to determine your league, it just effects your MMR the same as any other game. So your diamond player would leave his league, play his placement, throw it, and then...get placed back wherever his MMR determines is correct. The only time your MMR is reset is after a very long break, as in several months/multiple season, which isn't very abusable. | ||

I left the league, and the message that popped up clearly said it would not affect my MMR... yet when I go to matchmaking, it now tells me I have 5 placement matches remaining (as expected).... not sure what to make of that, I wonder if it will start my placement matches at my regular MMR maybe? | ||

I did some playing around with this today too.. (on a "new" global play account). After joining and leaving a league I had to play 5 placement matches. (Did this twice.) However, they started out vs higher league opponents (i.e. the opponent level that I probably would have faced if I had not left my league). I had played one unranked match before my my initial league placement. If I get time I'll try later on yet another new account. | ||

Didn't play for like 2 months or so, it only asked me to play one placement match, last time i played ladder I was around 1000 point master random player, and been placed in masters every season by just playing one placement match for the last 2 years,but yesterday after I won my placement match I got placed into diamond. | ||

The MMR break point for leagues would have to be constantly changing in order to keep the % of players in each division consistent as total player numbers in a region fluctuates. So if you played far less over the previous season thusly stagnating your MMR it's quite possible due to population fluctuations and MMR's of the population you feel. It's also possible it didn't fluctuate much at all and you were at or near demotion at the time you left. When you came back it did what it might of done previously. All point stuff aside, look back to your history and see what leagues your opponents were in before you stopped playing. Assuming you at least placed and played some games every season (or else MMR could reset). If they were all vs masters players then it would stand to reason it's more likely the MMR break point moved. If many of them were vs diamond players then it'd stand to reason you were already nearing demotion. You could even go as far as to see what types of opponents your masters opponents were playing to try to surmise if those players were nearing demotion. Seeing as you can not physically see your MMR because blizzard is paranoid people would figure out ways to game the system there is no way with 100% certainty you'd be able to figure out exactly why you feel, merely speculate. | ||

Neat especially if you belong in higher leagues but games only match you with a league or so below because no1 else was available Assuming leave league resets your MMR, you feasibly could play unranked until you were good enough to be masters then place masters. I however do not understand the statement "especially if you belong in higher leagues but games only match you with a league or so below". Do you mean your say plat and you think your a D/M? Or are you referencing being say plat and playing a gold or silver player here or there? I'd only ask this because if you were saying your league is wrong I'd disagree with you. There is very very few instances in which someone is in the wrong league for any significant amount of time. Not unless they themselves have done something like race switch to make it so. When you play a 1v1 match and hit the search it's looking for the closest available player to your current MMR. By current MMR I don't mean when you logged on, but the number it's floating around as you win and lose games. Which is why if you go on a significant losing or winning streak you can play up or down leagues as the system tries to derive where your skill is at. | ||
