Yeah this is a good change, and I'm very against the size increase of masters. If I need to learn a new build and unranked just isn't cutting it, now I have some time to play with before getting demoted.

If this change can get more people to play on ladder (by removing the fear of demotion) throughout the whole season then I see this as a good thing.

So this makes it that much harder for people to qualify for Challenger Leagues as those require masters but you can't just play and be promoted there, you need to get enough points in the previous season, and since no one gets demoted and rank doesn't indicate skill, who knows exactly how much you need to play to get promoted/into masters. Absolutely terrible.

I think the 'leave league' is there for players who would like to drop a league for whatever reason, assuming that their MMR has tanked.

You realise this also means a lot less people get promoted. So if hes in the league below, chances are he won't be moving up for a long time.

Better than what's happening now, where people get to some goal league and just stop playing out of fear of demotion.



And in addition to this, this prevents people from abusing the ladder to bash noobs and stuff.

meh. They don't show your global rank on most levels anyways. This isn't going to change much that hasn't already been obscured.

Although, I could get behind sluggaslamoo's idea.

Question: I’ve been losing quite a bit on the ladder lately. Why am I not being demoted?

Answer: To keep play at each skill level on the ladder competitive, we no longer demote players in the middle of a season. (Exception: Demotions down from Grand Master league are applied in cases of high bonus pool (inactivity).) Unless you're an inactive Grand Master, you can only be placed into a lower league when you play your initial placement match(es) in a new season, or by leaving the league.


....so um

how does that make the ladder more competitive by taking out demotions?


:logic:

Um no, your mmr isn't locked by any means, it just means you don't go down in the league.

This is a horrible idea. Why does blizzard never ask the community through polls etc? With the system, your league means next to nothing. Because ladder seasons are 11 weeks, your league could potentially be information which is 11 weeks old!

This is a slap in the face to competitive gamers. We want league to mean MORE. Would be nice to have masters broken into 3 leagues as the difference between a 200 pt master and a 1400 pt master is like baking soda and cocaine.

Epic fail.

That is not true, please don't needlessly freak people out. This does not effect promotions at all. Nobody will have a harder time getting promotions after this change.

Taking ladder's anxiety to a whole new level... Why are you even playing that game then ? Damn... Let's all make into master so that everyone can be happy. Oh wait... There are still points that will differenciate a newbie and a pro. Let's get rid of points aswell.
And then what ? Will there still be something that can distinguish the pro ? Guess not.
And we'll get retards to say : "yeah guys, i'm master, i'm the sh.t when it comes to starcraft 2 ! You haven't seen my most famous 6 pool rush"

Hope we won't get there though...

sucks imo, I know the demotion feeling sucks but if I ain't there then I should be demoted and let me know asap instead of keeping me there and demote me later
