Sounds like you don't like the game enough.

EDIT: I don't think a fluff change like this will keep you playing for long if you were willing to uninstall in the first place.

If this brings more people to ladder, I'm all for it.
Maybe a few minor tweaks to the concept and it'll look pretty sweet in my opinion :D

Also, with less ladder anxiety, players would probably be able to play at their best as well as invent newer strategies in a competitive ladder without actually being afraid that it could be the game that boots them out of their league (And discourages the usage of cheese to win the game easier, instead).

Just a random thought.

I think this will help me with any Ladder anxiety. I finally made Gold League at the end of WoL and into HotS, but I was always too worried of being demoted (I kept losing to upper Gold players that were more practiced than I was) and then I decided to stop playing for a while. At least now I can play stronger opponents without worrying that I'll fall into a lower league I'll sweep through if I lose too much figuring out things in HotS.

Their solution to too many people getting into Masters is to make rank demotion impossible. Nice. I'm pretty pro at leaving games. Leaving up to 100 in a row multiple times. Or leaving every game that isn't the mu I want to play, and I've never been demoted. It was already nearly impossible to get demoted if you simply lost more games than you "should."

As long as you promote arcade, if people aren't continuing to move up to the league they want, they'll probably quit laddering, anyways.

Eh. Maybe it will convince me to ladder more.

If you take this assumption from sc2ranks or similair pages then you are wrong because they mix up WoL & HotS

I'm taking the "assumption" from Blizzard commenting on the problem.

Ignorance is bliss I guess. I don't know why being demoted would dissuade you from playing the game and losing a bunch of games wouldn't. Seems to me like the former is just an unneeded confirmation of your poor performance, which you're supposed to feel in your gut in the first place.

how about promotion? can you get promoted when you had won enough or you need to wait till the next placement match?

If Blizzard is to be believed this community is a bunch of pussies. 'Oh no I've lost some virtual points and an icon on a virtual ladder, the horror!'. I just can't believe that many people actually are like that. Why do we even care about these people? With such a mindset they will never be able to compete anyways.

Well if anyone is wondering. I was a master level zerg player last season. I have not played my placement matches since last season because I haven't had any time to play since the season ended. I just played my placement match and it placed me in plat. We will see how long it takes before I get back to masters.

but it is like this. I am playing ladder only but mostly getting matched against players who play unranked (you can s ee it after the match if there is no league symbol next to their name than they played unranked).

Maybe he has ladder anxiety and chose to uninstall because he could not get over it, thus he found himself never playing. At least this way he can play in ranked queue to try to climb rank without being scared of the consequences mid-season.

While this may be good for those with ladder anxiety, I am quite worried if leagues will represent skills now....Say you are gold, and you keep losing, you deserve to be bronze but you are still in Gold because of this new system.....isn\'t that a bit weird I guess? So your league will no longer reflect your skill?

Maybe they will now introduce more leagues above masters because everyone is climbing up all the time

It seems like it will represent your highest "skill" point so far, but your rank in your division will be a much greater show of your skill. Like, the low ranked-Loss > Win ratio people will be people that you know should be down a rank and the Tops (8/25) will show more.
Though, with how the matchmaking works, if you have the MMR of a low silver as a plat for instance, would you still be going up against plat or would you go against silver players like you should?

As someone with anxiety, I always find ladder anxiety ridiculous. Everything is relative, and ladder anxiety is just such a joke compared to anything else for a person with anxiety. Just seems so weird to me.

I feel like if you can't get demoted you also shouldn't be able to be promoted. But of course that would put players into a rage.
