I've tested anti-afk system.
Aproximately 5 minutes lasts before you will be auto-kicked from the lobby due to inactivity

@TheBloodyDwarf : same for me. I'm not against them, just against the fact everyone has to see them. I don't mind people having anything they want as decal, skin or whatever if I can see them standard on my screen.

We are playing this for like 3 years and still noone understood that the icon is completely irrelevant? The only thing that matters is if you are getting oponents of comprable skill to yours (not of comparable league!) and that seems to still work - several people in this thread are complaining that they got to low league and had to fight up through people who are also "diamond level", but also placed in a low league: how the hell is such a game different from when you both have your shiny diamond icon? I just don't get it, it's the same people you play, they are just labeled differently! I haven't been playing much 1v1 lately, but at least the team matchmaking is for at least the last couple of months consistently amazing, it's light years better than 2-3 years ago - even though the wait times seem lower, we are almost always getting good games with just the right oponents, while back then every other game was a one-sided beating of us or the other guys. As for the rest of the patch, to me those are getting less and less relevant. The game has essentially everything I would ever ask for since HoTS launch (since automining at the start was introduced ). The only thing that affects me are the decals, which are absolutely idiotic (or maybe I am an idiot and there is an option to switch them off, but I couldn't find it).
It should not matter but seems to have some effect. Or in part this has MMR decay also.
I know lots are frustrated when they get stomped by 10 people in the row that were have been in 2 leagues higher for most of their career.

So, the ladder redistribution seems to have taken effect. There was a post on reddit about how the bronze league is decreasing (relatively) sharply in size (http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1w2s3a/leagues_redistribution_taking_effect/), so I logged on, was matched against a level 5 unranked player, won, and got promoted.
So yeah, get out there and ladder and see what happens.

I knew something was up, I got platinum on KR and for a bit that was higher than my NA rank.

Not sure, my MMr is beyond terrible as the last time I played was 6 months ago and as random, I would autoleave games of it was a matchup I didn't like. Since my return I've noticed a massive skill disparity in opponents, but it's the only time I've really dwelled low down so is that just normal or what?

Does anyone know just how much did they adjust the league percentages? Is there an official statement on it? Because I was stuck in gold since the start of the season even though I knew I was better than gold. Now I am top platinum, playing against diamonds. Also, for me it didn't took 1-2 games to get adjusted, I needed to spend my whole bonus pool before I got the promotion.
So it looks like a huge adjustment to me, which I find very strange. It would suck if they did it as at the start of Hots where ML was much easier to get than in WoL.

It looks like it has had a small effect, but not as much as they were hoping for so we can probably expect to see more redistributioni in the future: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/11423622282?page=1#1

They already did changes after that (some 30 hours ago, earlier changes were pretty much nonexistent or were changes to something else). These new changes have concrete effects: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=20673318

The ladder is wholly and utterly broken, for exactly that reason... people are not facing people of comparable skill, not even remotely, fathomably close. One game I will play someone who smashes me and I had no chance to beat, the next someone who is completely unable to keep up with me. I don't know what gave you the idea we all have hardons for shinier icons. I just want the game to be fun. And the guy that you smash is diamond, and the guy you lost to is gold.

I was afraid that the clan decals, like the unit skins, would be uncontrollable from my own perspective. There needs to be a "clean" mode that you can toggle, which disables all the extraneous stuff that your opponent may have enabled.
cl_minmodel 1, IIRC.

yes, they're now apparently considered the same unit.
A bigger nerf for casters is that the 'follow' and 'center unit' functions no longer work while observing (they work while playing). This also applies to clicking on a unit picture (default ui).

The new patch, and restructured league boundaries, are only a temporary fix.
As long as MMR Decay exists, it will inevitably pull the entire ladder down over time as we have already experienced.
When a 1v1 ladder game takes place, MMR points are transferred between the winning player and losing player, but when an inactive player begins to decay, those MMR points are lost from the system, presumably forever.
It's identical to the concept of a rake in casino hold 'em poker. A player loses 100% of chips in a losing hand, but only earns 97% on a win, with a cumulative effect of bankrupting one player every x number of hands (depending on the size of the blinds, buy-in, etc.)
The only solution is to remove MMR Decay entirely, or to somehow reintroduce the MMR points that were previously lost (for example, provide bonus MMR to the decayed player when they win until all of the lost points are reintroduced into the system).
