EPTLeagues placement is meaningless now, and the skill gap between high ranked players and mid-low ranked players is going to be bigger than ever.
The warcraft III Battle.net ranking was way better in my opinion.
You can no longer be demoted during a season! - Page 13

Its a shame your MMR is not shown like ELO was in LoL a while back. Im sure that will lead to other problems (people worrying about losing MMR points instead of their border), but apparantly there is a need to see what 'skill' you have compared to others, and league isnt really a good point of measurement. | ||

Even in Masters you still have a gazillion people with 0-5 games in each division. Kinda silly. I would prefer division with 1000 people or something. I don't know. But I like this. Fear of demotion should be removed for the people that care about it. Ye i would really like divisions with more people, would be more fun | ||

It feels like people in Masters are more Plat WoL Level now and if you cannot get demoted it makes it even worse. If you play terran I can agree to the phenomenon. I am a top 25 masters (1k+ points), and literally 9 out of 10 terrans I meet, were low/mid diamond before HotS, and are top 25 masters now. They also agree they havent increased in skill, but widow mines and hellbats happened. This isn't a balance complaint thread, this is an accumulation of observations. | ||

Okay, go to my profile http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/2240242/1/Kaluro/ or go in-game (kaluro.650 EU) and check my match history versus terrans. Then go to ladder -> career summary and click on WoL. Then check how many of them were low/mid diamond before HotS, go on ^_^. | ||

It's a good move in that it will augment the amount of total players playing sc2. Honestly, many of you are unhappy about it, but is it warranted? It's almost impossible to be demoted as it is. | ||
