Anyways, not really that catastrophic but a step in the wrong direction imo. | ||

Fortunately, there are those programs or whatever that try and find out your MMR. | ||

There are many people who think they aren't improving because the divisions above them are saturated with inactives. But, you can still get promoted, so you'd still see progress. Just regress would be hidden. Also, it's very likely that even if they don't show you that you've been demoted, they would internally calculate you into the right league. So I don't think leagues would suddenly become very static due to inactive players. edit: the only reservation I have is if this applies for GM, which is doubtful. | ||

The boundaries are static and based on some educated prediction of active ladder population distribution. There are no "open/filled spots" in a direct sense, so demotions/promotions happen independent of one another. Are you sure? I thought leagues were based on quintiles. (Bronze = bottom 8%, silver = 20%, gold = 28%...... etc.) However, if people are worried about inactives, this doesn't make a difference because you can't get demoted out of anything except GM through inactivity. | ||

And if you wanted bad enough to drop in league all you have to do is click on the "leave league" button. | ||

Once I got placed into Diamond with a 2on2 mate after the placement matches, even though we are Silver in 1on1 and really not that good. Then we didn't play any more games that season because we were scared that we would get demoted and not get the achievement for finished a season in Diamond if we continued to play. With this change we might have continued to play that season. So actually this change does help against a certain kind of ladder anxiety. | ||

The point is you get demoted next season you play. Your MMR still changes... and if you're winning with cannon rushes 100% of the time then I think you deserve to get those wins lol | ||

Because people in lower leagues feel uncomfortable! Would you really care if they did? It's just changing words, but the meaning can't change. | ||

It's not, but hey ho they have to be seen to be encouraging more and more people to play eh? People will still get relegated the next season anyway too. So I don't see much point though :S | ||

I lost every game that season and that was against low level silvers after the first few golds roflstomped me. I literally celebrated when I got demoted to silver. Would like to see a way to make placement matches more accurate before they worry about things like demotion Just leave league and redo your placement matches if it's the case. | ||

I don't understand why sc2 and league are both trying to copy the negatives of the others ladder system while failing to include the positives | ||
