I just got back from playing for 83 weeks and the system is still matching me against high level plats/diamonds. After losing 17 out of the last 20 games, it still mostly has me playing plats, but no diamonds anymore thank god.

Decay may suck for some, but I wish it worked for me!

You likely faced maximum decay that roughly equals 20 losses in a row. It is also worth to remember that during the last 83 weeks they have also lowered MMR thresholds for many leagues quite considerably (There were considerable offset/threshold changes 2014-01-24 and 2014-05-01. E.g. with the end of 2013 gold MMR one is now a diamond).

It seems that the entire ladder system certain players' MMR has been reset, with an increased likelihood of promotion if they show high win rates...The masses are raging on reddit/Battle.net forums. See here: Psione's post

The solution that Blizzard has presented here is to restart as a new ladder. Makes sense to me. Now that everyone is much more closely related, the skill differential should rapidly sort the new players with the new parameters (i.e. no decay).

I'm reading that, but did it really apply to every player or just players who had experienced decay?

Yep, totally reset. I think it's a good idea considering how much they have been messing with parameters \ decay. Pleasantly surprised, although I need some games to get back into my dia-scrub-club.
