I can't see why you shouldn't be instantly promoted if you are affected by the change in league thresholds. Obviously the distribution can't fix itself instantly because people have to play to get promoted. | ||

Ladder distribution fix is completely superficial IMO (come on dude, just accept leagues have been redistributed, and as a matter of fact, they don't matter that much, though I can understand people who confer them some importance, just not that much). What's REALLY important in this patch is the free arcade and races unlocking. We now have SC2 being free to play, kind of. You can play tournaments and "competitive" games without buying SC2 (though not ladder). With the current rise of Starbow, this may be quite the most important thing that happened to SC2, I'd like to think (but I might go a bit far). | ||

This means that less active players will still be demoted 2-3-4 leagues down,only they will get up the leagues faster.Given that not all start to play at the beginning of the season we will still have diamond and master players in low leagues during whole season,only in lower numbers. | ||

It's not borne out by statistics as its hard to quantify, but the effort required proportionally, especially at lower leagues is frankly ridiculous Wombat in action  | ||

I'm not sure if I've found a bug or if it's intentional, but you may message almost anyone. The steps are: 1) Suggest party to a person 2) Message right after that (the guy doesn't have to accept party) | ||

It is well known how MMR decay works. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=438802 On January 22 2014 22:54 RaZorwire wrote: The ladder distribution is skewed right now compared to where Blizzard wanted it to be (http://www.sc2ranks.com/stats/league) You can't use sc2ranks to see if the ladder distribution is skewed. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/10660146024#9 | ||
