SC2Ranks v2 has just been pushed live and is a ground up rewrite of SC2Ranks both in UI and backend. It's been due for a rewrite for a while, when I originally wrote SC2Ranks right after SC2 came out, I did it in about 3 days and hacked it all together. With all the changes from HoTS being released, rapid season changes, clans, Grandmaster and more, it was showing its age.
Thank you to the community who has offered awesome suggestions and support over the last 3 years. V2 will make it easier to maintain SC2Ranks and also let me offer more features without constantly having to deal with performance issues.
Homepage: http://www.sc2ranks.com
Features
- Team rankings,1v1 AM HoTS Terrans in Master
- Division rankings, 1v1 Global HoTS
- Clan rankings, 1v1 by Top Score, Sum Score, Avg Score
- Clan pages, Evil Geniuses
- Custom divisions, Reddit division
- Progress graphs to view changes over time, DeMusliMRC
- Public replays of the character, games played by DeMusliMRC
---
And here are the changes from V1 -> V2
Changes
- Instant ranking updates, no more hour++ delays. If you go up 10 points, your world and region ranks update at the same time.
- Team updates are much faster, originally it would take a day+ to refresh the entire database, now it can be done in a few hours. You can find more info on update speed on the F.A.Q page
- Expansions and seasons are handled a lot better and there will no longer be mixups with teams being misidentified to an expansion or slow resets when a season flips over
- Filters are now consistent across the entire site and much easier to use
- Faster graph updates, your team graph will update as you play games no matter what league. No more 24 hour snapshots of a team, or hourly snapshots for Grandmasters
- Clans are now fully supported including clan pages and rankings
- Barcode names are no longer shown, instead a region unique name is derived by the battle.net ID to allow for easier identification of a barcode name.
- All achievement related features are now gone, they were barely used (<1% of visits) and wasted resources that could be spent on updating teams faster
- New(ish) logo that looks more awesome
- Custom divisions now require a "real" account, you can sign up using your Google or Facebook account
- Custom divisions MUST be claimed by September 1st or they will be pruned. Claiming is easy, create an account, go to the claim page, enter the URL, email and password and you're done
---
As always, if you have any suggestions, bugs, comments or hate comments, I'm reachable by: This topic, @sc2ranks, shadow@sc2ranks.com or TL PM.

Good updates, look forward to the sc2replaystats.com integration (of course haha, you need anything else from me let me know)
I love the new look of the players page, much easier to read !
|
Thank you so much for the hard work, I relied on SC2Ranks' graphs to figure out my world ranks and likelihood of getting into the next league for a long time and I was missing it while you worked on this version. Two thumbs up.
|
Love the new look and the sound of the changes.
I checked my profile out and it seems to be a work in progress:

Looking forward to seeing the site continue to improve.

In that it's missing your 1v1 Diamond league? I'll look into it tomorrow. Did you just start playing 1v1?

Thanks! I have new graph functionality coming eventually which should make the team graphs even better.

Out of curiosity, what league/bracket are you in? Just seeing how well the updater is working.

If we can ever identify any of these barcodes, can we start calling the player by their region unique name?
looking forward to seeing some of these new features, it looks a lot more polished already
|
I skipped any custom divisions (something like <5% of them) that had no emails attached as it would have been impossible for them to claim. 3488 was one of those. I see someone made a "Gamefaqs SC2 Ladder" one today though. I've linked 3488 to that.
The new URL is: http://www.sc2ranks.com/cdiv/51e8a4d669d5386c29000001/gamefaqs-sc2-ladder
And http://www.sc2ranks.com/c/3488/gamefaqs properly redirects to it.

Sure. You can call the #1 player "chh adh h", the name is region unique and won't change so as long as they don't buy another copy of the game, you will always see "chh adh h" no matter what season it is.

Lookin' good.
How do I search for a specific clan?
|
Looks a lot like nios.kr now
|
Is there a way to order by win%. I clicked the coulumntab before, now it doesnt work 
Keep up the good work!
|
I still prefer Nios.kr, it's a lot simpler. These changes are really good though.
|
Cool stuff. The barcode change is pretty interesting. It makes harder to "hide" behind as an anonymous practice account.
|
This update is awesome!
But my profile seems incomplete. My 1v1 ladder for HotS doesn't seem to be there and I don't show up in the clan feature or searches Edit : Also the levels don't appear to have updated either.

Hi Shadowed, got a bug for you.
While viewing a players replay list, custom games are misclassified. They appear to be ladder games, although they are not.
EDIT:
I'd love to see some streaming integration, with the vods in particular. Let's say I'm streaming on Twitch.tv, and I have some archived games, any chance they could be listed?

It seems my data is quite old, and isn't updating:

You update priority is set to low, which means that your profile wil only update every few days.
There are a couple of things here you could look at, the may answer some questions. I only briefly read them, so no guarentee! ^^
NEW: OK, i read the FAQ, the update priority of low means you have not played a game for 7days or longer.

Yep, i can not find my self on the ladder , found the devision but im not there! 
|
great stuff! loving the clan ranking and the clan pages <3 thanks for your work
edit: in my clan (http://www.sc2ranks.com/clan/eu/ACe/aachen-esport) there are a lot of people missing, any reason for that? not only quite inactive members, but also very inactive ones.
|
Looks good!
Is there a way to manually add characters?
|
|
|
Wauw, the ability to load up a player on the ladder and find his replays is soooooo sick!
We're not ready for this advanced technology
|
Seems a bit flawed with the anti barcode system.
l vs capita i gets the same treatment don't know how hard it would be but maybe implement an option to have the normal name as is or the "solution" you have come up with.
Really missing the sort feature only sorting via points and not winrate is whats making the decision between sc2ranks and nios so easy.
But the replay tracker is a nice feature even if I normally would only go directly via ggtracker
And on the site the data for replays is heavily outdated compared to ggtracker.
|
|
|
Are you the Shadowed who wrote the WoW addons?
|
as an aspiring coder i'm so curious how you managed to pull this off. is there an api at all for retrieving sc2 ladder info? if not, i'm mystified.

I'll respond to everyone else once I get back.

There isn't. Sorting like that probably won't come back, or at least not for a while as it causes performance issues.

You can't right now. But if you know the clan tag/region you can construct the URL easily enough:
http://www.sc2ranks.com/clan/<region>/<clan tag>/<clan name>

It's not based on their name, it's based on their ID.
Nios doesn't actually have the option to sort by win rate either, they just let you do local sort on the rows that are shown. Unless that's what you're looking for.
GGTracker has a TON of replays, it takes time to load them in. Right now it's only up to 6/28. I expect it'll be done reloading them into the system sometime today and then it'll update normally (every 10m).

No, you just have to scrape data from the battle.net site.

Awesome changes made to the site man. sc2ranks has always been an amazing resource, and I love to see that its getting a killer revamp. Keep up the great work!
I was super thrilled to find this morning that when I got re-promoted to my proper league it was basically instantly on the site :D

missing alot of stats, like % of terrans in master league etc etc also no sortings by winning is kinda meh and anti-barcode is pretty confusing/irritating

Those are next on the list of things to do, I'll probably have them in by Monday.
Sorting by winning MIGHT come back since a lot of people are asking for it, but I'm not sure yet. What is confusing on anti-barcode? It's not like seeing IlIlIIlIIlIl really helps.

VoD integration will be coming thanks to SC2Casts, things like Twitch.TV archived games might not just because I need to be able to associate a character to a profile, but I'll think about it and see if I can come up with anything.

Can you provide an example battle.net profile of someone who is missing? I'm still tweaking the updater so it might need to prioritize new profiles a bit better.

Here's the code used to generate the names by bnet id: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/72499dda34b22f8ad7b2
GGTracker is back up to 7/9, should be up to date within the next few hours.
No you're right, it's not supposed to be 841. I'll look into it. It's possible it's just out of date or perhaps from the previous season.

Just a small tip: If you're doing a launch like this the url should really be the first thing I see in the post. I was looking for a link in the post until I eventually used one of your feature links to find my way to the site. It's a small thing but just adding a link to the frontpage of your site is essential when doing these kind of launches, even though most probably know what sc2ranks is and where to find it.
|
I'm so incredibly excited about the API that's coming soon. The idea of being able to pull the battle.net IDs of everyone in a clan based on the server and tag is making me giddy.

It is still inaccurate: it isn't showing all of my gameplay from July 5th, to today (July 19th). It is saying my last game played was on the 7th.
Not trying to be a pain, just want to help you ensure the same functionality as before.

For a site like sc2replaystats.com the users replays are uploaded automatically for them, so wins and loses are uploaded to their account.

Not at all a pain. If your profile isn't updating, then something is wrong and it should get fixed. I'll look into it.
You can alternatively send me an email at shadow@sc2ranks.com as a reminder and I'll just send you an email once I look into it.

As other people have said. Replays are pulled automatically from: Drop.sc, GGTracker and SC2ReplayStats. Some of those (or via things like SC2Gears) provide automatic replay uploading, so they just automatically upload any replay they have while playing.
It adds up to a lot of replays. Currently SC2Ranks has around a million replays spanning about 500,000 different characters with replays. There are about 900,000 active teams (1v1 -> 4v4). So the replay coverage happens to be pretty good.

Haha oops. I was wondering if I had ever implemented pagination on replays... apparently not. I'm capping it to last 200 replays for now, I'll add pagination later tonight.

I want to know who the best player is on any server. I think the highest winrate is the best indicator.

Generally when people talk about sorting, I assume they mean "real" sorting which is sorting every entry (in this case, about ~400,000 for 1v1/global/all leagues).
Fake sorting is trivial, which is just sorting the entries in the table that are visible. I'll probably add that in some time by Monday depending on things.

Which part? It looks accurate at a glance. There's a bug where it mixes the HoTS/WoL leagues but that's a visual one I'll get fixed.

the fake sort would be enough i think, because then you would sort the top100 points players by winrates.

I'm only master in 2v2

Thanks a lot for this site. Really useful.

Tonights round of updates:
Changes
- Added contains/ends/starts with searches back for now, may be removed if it causes performance issues
- Added local sorting of all columns to all tables (click the column)
- Added pagination for replays, shows 100 replays per page
- Fixed replay view a bit so that 4v4 games don't overflow
- Fixed random "}" on feature coming back page
- Fixed character team page showing teams from different expansions on one page
- Fixed character team page not filtering teams that were from past seasons
- Fixed navbar making it appear as if you were logged out
I am still looking into update issues that were reported.
|
|
|
Was a bug, it's resolved.
I've fixed a bug that was causing teams to show up incorrectly, this should be resolved for all characters, but it may take a few hours to take effect as it updates. If you are still having issues after it updates, post here and let me know.

Homepage: http://www.sc2ranks.comFeatures- Team rankings, 1v1 AM HoTS Terrans in Master- Division rankings, 1v1 Global HoTS- Clan rankings, 1v1 by Top Score, Sum Score, Avg Score- Clan pages, Evil Geniuses- Custom divisions, Reddit division- Progress graphs to view changes over time, DeMusliMRC- Public replays of the character, games played by DeMusliMRC--- And here are the changes from V1 -> V2 Changes- Instant ranking updates, no more hour++ delays. If you go up 10 points, your world and region ranks update at the same time. - Team updates are much faster, originally it would take a day+ to refresh the entire database, now it can be done in a few hours. You can find more info on update speed on the F.A.Q page- Expansions and seasons are handled a lot better and there will no longer be mixups with teams being misidentified to an expansion or slow resets when a season flips over - Filters are now consistent across the entire site and much easier to use - Faster graph updates, your team graph will update as you play games no matter what league. No more 24 hour snapshots of a team, or hourly snapshots for Grandmasters - Clans are now fully supported including clan pages and rankings - Barcode names are no longer shown, instead a region unique name is derived by the battle.net ID to allow for easier identification of a barcode name. - All achievement related features are now gone, they were barely used (<1% of visits) and wasted resources that could be spent on updating teams faster - New(ish) logo that looks more awesome - Custom divisions now require a "real" account, you can sign up using your Google or Facebook account- Custom divisions MUST be claimed by September 1st or they will be pruned. Claiming is easy, create an account, go to the claim page, enter the URL, email and password and you're done --- I'm still finishing a few of the parts of the rewrite, here's what is missing and will be coming shortly (in no particular order) Missing- V2 API with details on usage - VoD support via http://sc2casts.com/- New stats page - New team page --- Switched to a new topic since this is a rewrite, I'll get the old one closed once I figure out who to poke about it. As always, if you have any suggestions, bugs, comments or hate comments, I'm reachable by: This topic, @sc2ranks, shadow@sc2ranks.com or TL PM.
You should rank by "skill rating of active players".
One way in which this can be done is as follows:
1. Define active players: These are (players who have spent 2 weeks of bonus pool, i.e 208.8 for diamond and below, 360 otherwise, over the last 2 weeks) or ((players having less than 2 weeks of bonus pool) and (have played at least 1 game in the last 2 weeks)).
2. Rank active players by points minus bonus pool. Express this as a percentile.
Or at least make this as another ranking option.

I really like the barcode change.

Your profile looks good after last nights fix. Portrait isn't updating, but I'll look into that. It might just be that it hasn't done an update via your profile yet.

Looks like quite a lot more people are showing up now. Can you confirm that it's correct again?
I'm fairly sure the reason you are seeing 841 bonus pool is because it was from the previous season but it hasn't updated yet. I'll make it so after a season reset, it resets that.

Overall, I like the changes, thanks for your work Shadowed! EDIT: One more bug. Portraits don't seem to be displaying the correct one.
There's no way of classifying replays by game type right now unless it's SC2ReplayStats. As GGTracker/Drop.SC don't pass that data. I've got a new replay API that I'll see about getting them to move to when they have time, but right now I'm limited by the data provided and I can't do anything about that.
You're correct, that's what was happening. It's resolved now.
You're on the site now:

Interesting idea. I'm not sure if I want to do it, but I need to check how accurate the bonus pool loading is. I'll definitely look into it, but it might be a bit before I can get it in.

That barcode replacement formula could be improved a bit.
I have no idea how its generated now, but vowels and consonants should be alternated, like <consonant> <vowel> <consonant> <space> <consonant> <vowel> <consonant> <vowel/consonant>
So if we use something like:
nr : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1st: w k s d g p z b q
2nd: a e i o u ae aa ai ee oe
3rd: r y f h z x v n t c
4th: p w k s d g t z b q
5th: a e i o u ae ie ue ao eo
6th: r y f d z x v n t c
7th: a e i o u h f s r t
the names would be bit easier to read.
Lets take few examples from current top rankings:
2770377 -> bar: chh adh h -> bar Kain Pons
3224273 -> bar: dy ec hd -> bar Sif Dino
4096999 -> bar: eak gkk k -> bar Dac Teoct
Not the most prettiest names but bit more readable and there might be few quite hilarious ones out there too.

The platinum issue was related to the team data being bugged out. Not much to be done about that except resetting the historic data for that team. If you want I can do that.
Portrait will be looked into.

Search by URL is now back. Just enter a battle.net URL into the search box and it'll automatically redirect you to the persons SC2Ranks profile.
If they aren't on SC2Ranks yet, they'll be automatically queued and loaded into SC2Ranks.

I think the region rank 1 thing was just due to the team bugout originally, if it happens again I'll take a further look.
Swarm levels don't update at the same speed as teams, that would just be due to it not having done a profile update for you. If you mouseover the progress bars, you'll see it lists when it was updated. Looks like it's about a month old.

Yea looks like a bug. It's fixed.
Fixed so it'll no longer misidentify names with li/il or some combination of those as being barcode names.

V2 stats have been mostly implemented. The point slice features will come later, but there's a DB bug blocking those so rather than delay the feature I'm releasing them as is. If there is something missing (besides the points slicing ones), let me know and I'll see what can be done.
Race stats http://www.sc2ranks.com/stats/race and http://www.sc2ranks.com/stats/league league stats.
The major change to stats is that in V1 they were ephemeral which is not very useful. The only way you could really show SC2Ranks stats in a persistent way was screenshots which is a hassle.
V2 stats are now calculated once a day (midnight UTC) and can be linked to, giving you a way of showing the stats at the time you're referencing them. All you have to do is click "Permalink" and you'll be given a link you can reference permanently. If you share the stats through the share buttons, it will automatically create a permalink.
When viewing a snapshot, you can also see the game patch and season. http://www.sc2ranks.com/stats/2013-07-23/race/hots/global/1v1/all this page will never change, in 3 months you can come back to it and see the same stats that were seen on 2013-07-23.
Once there is more historic data available, you'll be able to look up stats by arbitrary periods. Such as finding the stats at the end of season 2013-4.
|
Summary of changes over the last few days:
* Further tweaks to the team queuer, will be releasing another improvement tomorrow which should generally do away with the queue priority and instead do speedy updates for everyone + a second tier updater for extra updates
* Fixed stats search caching arbitrarily
* Fixed a few random bits of missing localization causing red text
* New divisions now get a priority update initially to load in new teams/characters faster
* Added more aggressive loading of bonus pool data, this will allow rankings that can decay if someone isn't playing
* Added better page descriptions for people who want to share something over FB or G+
* Added automatic warnings when battle.net is experiencing server issues that updates might be delayed
* Improved performance of custom divisions, especially larger ones like the Reddit custom division
V2 API details will be posted tomorrow. I expect to have the initial beta for it available by Monday or Tuesday.

Yea those require updating your specific profile compared to the teams which are division updates. Although maybe it has a bug, I'll double check it later.
My current goal is to get the team update times down as long as possible, right now it's down to about 30 minutes throughout most of the system. Once I get that to be throughout the entire system, I'll work on getting profile updates to speed up too though.
|
Alright, tonights changes + API info.
---
* Removed queue priority, divisions are updated from oldest -> highest, the entire DB of 1.2 million players will now be refreshed every ~30 minutes
* Fixed status page including dead divisions causing the numbers to be drastically skewed higher than they were
* Fixed some names being flagged as barcode even when they weren't a real barcode
* Fixed status page loading slowly
* Fixed old teams showing up for some Chinese characters (<1,200) due to China's battle.net not doing a good job of showing seasons

V2 will enforce usage limits. This will prevent abuse, give fair access to everyone and supports the site.
There will be a test mode that returns fake data, but does not count towards your daily limit for testing purposes
I'll be adding SC2Ranks "Pro" (Hopefully not final name) which for $4/month (via PayPal) gives you a higher daily limit to the API. You will also get an ad free experience on SC2Ranks and new features later on. Even if you don't want to use the API, this is for people who want to help support the site to allow new features.
For people who don't like the usage limit, there are a number of battle.net parsing libraries. But by using the SC2Ranks APIs, you get 5x - 10x faster responses than battle.net and you don't have to deal with battle.net changes or downtime.
Current numbers I'm looking at for daily usage are:
Normal: 10 credits/day
Pro: 200 credits/day
For people who maintain APIs, I'll also offer free usage limit dumps. For people who offer data (such as replay sites), higher limits for free will be offered.
I'm also looking at adding AJAX support for API calls. If you're a pro user, you can access the API through AJAX letting people easily add SC2Ranks data without having to deal with making the server requests or caching. I'm not 100% sure on how this will work in terms of usage limit, It'll be something I slowly roll out to test it.
The usage limit won't go into effect until the test mode as well as pro subscriptions are in. I expect to start having parts of the API available by Monday, with a full implementation by August 5th.
Credit #s will be defined by the amount of data you return. If you make a clan request that returns 10 x 2v2 teams, you will use 10 credits. If you make a bulk character request for 100 characters, that would use 100 credits.

Some great stuff! Love the consistency in the new API.

I noticed that portrait info has been removed from the API and swarm levels are not included. Not that I need or want them. =)

On my stat page for instance, my portrait is black instead of the Carbot portrait (I'm guessing low priority on the ToDo list) and my Terran level is not at max (which it is for at least a month now).

SC2Ranks 'Normal' = SC2Ranks Bronze?
SC2Ranks Pro = SC2Ranks Grandmaster?
Perhaps add a badge to the profile to stroke that ego. Just an idea. =]

Unfortunately it's 100% Blizzards fault
China: http://www.battlenet.com.cn/sc2/zh/profile/802183/1/慕容小月/ladder/leagues
US: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/2553612/1/puCK/ladder/leagues
You'll see that US has "Heart of the Swarm" above the team menu bar. China does not, so we default them to Wings of Liberty right now.
There's no other way to determine (that I know of) a HoTS vs WoL team until the Chinese battle.net updates. I've got an alert set in the spider, as soon as Blizzard updates it, China will get HoTS teams and show up on the global rankings.

So in the old version we had a ranking based on achievement points too. I can't find it in the new version, is it still there and just hidden? Otherwise, are there any plans on bringing that back? I really liked that feature.

http://www.sc2ranks.com/achievements is the current implementation, I might add a little more later.

Oops. That is fixed, it'll be live in about 5 minutes.
|
How is the ranking done on the achievement page? It does not look like it is the achievement points.
Example
Player X has 5,305 points and has rank 11,302
Player Y has 5,310 points and has rank 11,303
Both are max swarm level.
Examples on this page http://www.sc2ranks.com/achievements/114
|
Might be a desync bug. I'll look into it later, rather get the API in.
|
Do you use a ticket or issue tracking system? That way you and anyone else could keep track of what is broken and what has been fixed and you don't forget about bugs. Something like BugZilla or Jira.
I use Jira for tracking issues: http://jira.nugardt.com:9080/browse/NSA

Down for about 30 minutes for a server upgrade.

(annd triple post)
From looking at performance metrics of the site. I expect the API limits will be raised a fair bit. The current numbers I'm considering are 50 normal/500 pro. They probably will go up even more, but I want to start with lower #s and raise it as able.
As a note, 500/day is more than enough for about about 95%+ of API users.
I've implemented about 90% of the API implemented so far. After that I just need to add the credit reset system, API Key requesting and document it all. I expect to have the initial version ready by Tuesday.
There was also a bug with clan pages that effected ~1% of all clans. If you had a multi regioned (LA + US for example) clan, your clan page was split between the two regions rather than one. This is fixed and they're all merged together, and the scores are currently being recalculated.

I am the administrator of a custom division on sc2ranks. After the new site, I can't see where to login so I can add more people to the custom division. Any idea's?
The division is now more than a year old... Before the new site I could click on "manage division".

I am the administrator of a custom division on sc2ranks. After the new site, I can't see where to login so I can add more people to the custom division. Any idea's?
The division is now more than a year old... Before the new site I could click on "manage division".
Create an account on http://www.sc2ranks.com/sessions/new, then click Account -> Claim Division. Copy the division URL onto that page + the email you originally created the division with and the password. Click claim and you should claim it and be able to manage it through that UI from now on.

Hate to ask this, but is there a way to show either points * win ratio or Total Games on the new site?

Goy Saex Oh dear. Very unfortunate. =)

For sorting? No, you cannot globally sort those anymore.

I am half tempted to leave that name given how awful it is. I've fixed it though.

API is starting to go live for beta testing. Everything backend wise is done, I'm just writing the documentation. Currently the documentation for base data + characters is all live and can be used, http://www.sc2ranks.com/api.
Hopefully will get the rest done tomorrow.
During the beta period, API Keys have a 20k daily credit limit. Once the beta is over, I'll be raising the free API limit to 500, and the pro one to 2,000.
|
API:
* The "data" call returns incomplete data for races "..."races": "Random",...".
* The "characters/:region/:bnet_id" return example is missing "url".
* The "characters/teams/:region/:bnet_id" call returns Error 500 Internal Server Error. Sometimes returns a result. Missing documentation about required parameters: "expansion" and "bracket".
* The "bulk/characters" call returns Error 404.
* All swarm levels are 0.
Late nite programming is fun (5am). =)
[Updated bug list]
|
I think I broke it. Error 500 with all calls and API Keys on the site are not available (blank page).

Should be fixed
|
In the API call "characters/teams/:region/:bnet_id" the Division Rank is "null". Isn't the rank always known?
"..."division":{"id":"51b6792c971560ef2dc8fbaf","rank":null}..."
|
It can happens sometimes due to parsing or magic. Generally it won't.
|
The rest of the API documentation is now live and can be found on http://www.sc2ranks.com/api.
The current plan is that the API will be beta tested for the next two weeks or so, and it'll go fully live with a 3 month deprecation period on the old one. Which will put the old API being fully removed around the middle of November. Exact dates will be given when the V2 API is released.

Is there still a way to see a graph of my global ranking?
|

Not right now. However I've been logging the data since the start, so once I add it you'll get all the old data instantly.

Sliced race stats are back in. Viewing any league rather than all leagues shows you race distribution and win % per point slices. For Master/GM, it's every 200 points, for everything else it's every 100 points. This works out to about ~12 slices for every bracket.
Global HoTS GM shows that random players are represented in the lower tiers of GM, but not in the higher. You can also see that Protoss have a pretty strong presence through the tiers.
Or if you drill it down to Korean HoTS GM, you see that Terran aren't as well represented as Protoss and Zerg throughout the tiers and Random is totally non existent.
To look at America HoTS Bronze, Zerg tends to be under represented.

Why did you get rid of the division on a player's page. Makes it so much harder to find someone on bnet.
|
Barcodes, barcodes everywhere. I miss smurfs like meatyowllegs.

You can find it on the team page (click "View Extended Graph"). It's probably not coming back on the character page as it takes up space that is more useful for other things.

Very nice update. It's cool to see the clan pages so you can get info on everyone in a clan at a quick glance. Looks like i'll need to update my Android widget for your new profile API though lol :D
|
love the update.
quick question:
was the feature that showed a player's past season ladder ranks and win/loss removed?
used to be that i could see all the way back to even early WOL.
i can't seem to find it anywhere now.
thanks in advance for reply.
|
Wow. These are some amazing changes. I am surprised I didn't find this thread earlier. I will definately be using SC2 ranks more often now when I play ranked matches. Thanks for the work you guys put into the site .

Awesome! I also like the new bar code names. Some of them are really funny.

Yes it was removed. It resulted in a lot of dead data, and like achievements, nobody really used it. Team history is still recorded though, so if you actively play in say, 1v1 you'll always be able to see the team history going back.
You can't really see it right now, but once 2013 season 5 starts, you'll be able to see S4 + Current S5 data, and so on.

This is going to go live in the next few hours, not sure if it'll stay in this form but will see.

How do i claim a clan? I can't find the login <.<
|
You don't claim clans, not quite sure what you're asking.
|
Do you think it would be possible to add the clan ranking on the clan page ? ( like when you are on a player profile )
|
|
|
Bugs due to S5 layout changes are fixed. S5 has started on KR + TW, SEA and CN regions.
|
|
|
No, it's just a random name to make the barcodes "unique" again.
|
Bar names are generated so that they will be unique per region, and provide a way of identifying a bar code player. It's a lot easier to keep track of "Soc Wunf" on the ranking list than IlIlIlIlIlIl.
|
Ah wow, this is so much better. Good work!
|
|
|
Is it possible to see stats from past seasons? I'd like to compare some numbers
|
It's not possible as nobody really used it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ehm. The site stopped working. Or is it just me?
|
The site doesn't seem to be working.
|
|
|
Looks good, but I would still like to see bonus pool adjusted points.
|
Looks like Blizzard decided to make some random changes to the HTML, it's been fixed.
|
are they doing scheduled maintenance or s omething? I can't access the page anymore
|
Yeah it's been over a day now, I'm having issues too.
|
My stats haven't been updated since 1/5/2014. Granted I've only started playing games daily again since about a week ago, but still. I also notice that for the top profiles the age is 6 days, so seems like the database isn't getting refreshed for anyone?
|
Yeah stats are not updating at least for lower leagues.
|
Stats aren't updating for any leagues. Any word on this?
|
I've noticed this as well. I've not received an update on SC2ranks in eons. I guess the site is dead. <shrug>

Aww it is dead. Was so nice to be able to see how close you were to getting promoted.

Its original creator Shadowed sold the site some 3 months ago. I guess the new owner (who ever it is) has hard time keeping it running. He has lately tweeted few times that he is trying to fix it: https://twitter.com/sc2ranks

Wow that is interesting. I did not even know you could sell a website like this. Would be great if the new owner made the site current again.

Looks like the site is updating stats again.
|
Looks like the site is dead again? (or still is) I've recently started playing again and was wondering how well I was doing and how close I possibly am to Masters. Does anyone know what is up with SCIIranks nowadays? Is it possible to view my profile there like I used to, or am I just using it wrong seeing all outdated info?
|
What's up with the Platinum leagues in America and Europe, the data is almost 5 days old now:
http://www.sc2ranks.com/status
Same thing might be happening to American Silver league as well....
|
the site seems to be dead. no updates at all.
|
|
|
I think that last time it was eventually fixed. Sure wish there was a way I could help out keeping it upright...
