In fact it's a step in the wrong direction.. League promotions and Demotions should appear more often IMO.. That way you really know when/where you/your skill really belong..
This is just worse lol..
And what's EVEN WORSE - now the Placement matches will be treated as you play in a GSL or sth.. And if you fail on any of them - then bye bye whole season.. Probably not gonna have any reason to play anymore during the rest of it.. :/
Nope, i don't like it.
I like knowing where I actually belong on the ladder

Why is Blizzard treating all players with kid gloves? You think we can't handle being demoted?
I think that I SUCK factor is important.

This really doesn't matter all that much. It takes alot of lost games to actually be dropped from a league. By the time your average ladder player racks up that many loses to warrant demotion the season is probably already ending anyways.

Yeah, wish that was the truth. At least according to the MMR plug in on Gears, I should've been in diamond a long time ago. With that said, it's weird because I demolish most diamonds and platinums. I'm probably high-d to low-m.

This is a great idea. I was promoted to platinum last season, and didn't want to play till ladder lock so that I had that locked in for my career summary page. Not that I think anyone actually cares, it's just one of those things.

how long is each season now? i thought it was the same as always.

11 weeks.

I don't know what to make of this. Can you still get promoted, but not demoted? I guess its not too bad if you can only go up mid season.

This is exactly what League of Legends started doing. You can't fall tiers no matter how much you lose, but your hidden MMR still drops.
|
this doesn't change much.
|
I'm happy with this.
You'll still be demoted eventually if you suck, so on that front it's not a problem. At the same time, it'll probably help a lot of people's ladder anxiety. Smart move on Blizzard's part.

This is ok because the seasons are pretty short, so demotions won't take too long anyway.

I don't like since I don't think they'll do the same with promotions.
|
I think this is kind of cool. It's the closest thing to an in game tournament system we'll get for a while.
|
Not a fan. If my skill level has fallen enough that I'm no longer worthy of my status in the Diamond league, I'd like to know about it. In my case at least, the motivation to get back into Diamond would push me to play more games and get my skill back to where I think it should be.

Another pointless change by Blizzard after lining up ladder seasons with wcs, I wish they'd actually focus on fixing important issues

IMO the League system actually goes against what it was originally intended for.
What's wrong with just having MMR as a points system, much like Street Fighter or Iccup. When you lose points its not a big deal, you had a bad day, on a good day you can get all of them back and you progressively gain points over a long period of time as you improve. Its something that is very very achievable so you don't feel bad about a few lost points.
Demotion on the other hand makes you want to quit the game. The fact that many people have to play hundreds of games to get promoted, when you get demoted the feeling that you have no idea how many wins you have to get to get back to where you were is terrible.
People have to be demoted, so that other people get promoted, what a terrible system. Because of the divisions you don't really know where you stand, only that you are in this group known as X league, and if that name isn't Masters, you suck even though you sometimes play against Masters players. The league system has been designed in a way to make everyone feel like crap.

I doubt such a change requires a lot of manpower.

Most changes don't, the point is they seem to be focused on trivialities
