If the MMR threshold changed for example, people should get promoted right away. We're not talking about subtle changes; master league was expected to see a 100% increase(0.89%~ to 2%)... | ||

Actually, it'd be cool if you had independent rank vs each race. Considering I'm close to 80% win rate vs Terran, it'd be nice if I was Platinum vs T (and wood league vs Zerg). | ||

Posted by Psione Hey everyone, Just wanted to provide a quick update, since we're getting questions on this topic. We've confirmed that the new league boundaries were successfully published yesterday in all regions. As this is a mid-season adjustment, we'll need to carefully monitor how existing player accounts are interacting with the new values and determine if additional adjustments are necessary. We'd encourage everyone to continue playing normally as it will allow for more accuracy as we continue to review our data. Working as intended. I think something is a bit amiss here. | ||

The DB update/push that was intended to go out did go out, but it was apparently very minor. This happened last time too. What happened before was that they needed a bit of extra time to evaluate how the changes from Phase 1 impacted the ladder, then once they gathered enough data, they rolled out Phase 2 which is where the really big shifts in population happened. I don't know if this latest push is Phase 1 of 2, we'll find out based on whether or not there are future changes applied. | ||

Since there was absolutely no mention of another update phase, I think this is it. Which is weird, since EU is still on 40% gold. Master went up a little bit now(1.18 instead of 1.12), but I think people have to get used to Gold players of all kinds of skill levels for a while. | ||

I guess that being #1 is not important as such, many people get promoted without being #1. What matters is your win percentage (note that 55% is not particularly high) and the average opponents. If you score 55% against gold players you'll probably not get promoted, you belong in "Top Gold". | ||

The most indicative thing about mmr is indeed your ladder position, but across the whole server, not in your division. If you get promoted without being ~top 5 in the server, it's usually because you have some bonus pool left. A positive winrate can only be related to an improvement, not necessarily to a high mmr. | ||

Updates in May 2014 happened pretty much immediately (unless there were some shadow changes some days earlier that Blizzard did not publish). But in January 2014 the actual / noticeable offset changes happened two days after patch 2.1. That time Blizzard claimed that they had made the changes already when patch 2.1 was launched. Back then I had full MMR tool data available (+ Blizzard's web profiles were not malfunctioning so most (pretty much all) the data was good). There was no indication that offsets had been changed. But two days later when the actual changes happened they were pretty much immediately noticeable both in MMR tool data and at nios.kr. This time I do not have the MMR tool data as its server is unavailable. But there has been no trend changes regarding nios.kr data in past few days. But as Blizzard keeps in their story that the changes were made, then surely some changes have been made. But could the changes ('phase 1') be something else than offset / threshold changes (miscommunication from Blizzard / miscommunication between community managers and the developers)? Potentially something that has been done to fine-tune/confirm the planned offset/threshold values and the actual change ('phase 2') would happen in near future? One can only speculate as there has been no visible effects regarding the recent change and still Blizzard claims the changes were done. | ||

If this is just phase one of multiple updates, and it's supposed to not have a huge effect, then they'd be better off not announcing it the way they did. Because they made it seem like it was going to have a huge effect on the ladder. My guess is that they just tested it the wrong way and it's not working as intended on the live servers. I'm still hoping it's just more of a long-term change... Not sure how that would work though since updating the thresholds should result in immediate promotions(correct me if I'm wrong). I mean, for me personally it doesn't really matter. Whether I play high diamonds or low/mid masters doesn't make a difference, but in the german community that got a huge influx due to RocketbeansTV, there are a lot of frustrating newbies in gold playing people that are easily platin and above. So it's kinda annoying having to explain this weird MMR/league scenario  | ||

Taking EU as an example: Of roughly 100k players, 40k players are in gold when it should really be 32k. So 8k players are in the wrong league. For silver, thats 6k and for Platin it's 7k. For Diamond it's 10k, for masters it's 1k. So we have almost 35k players in the wrong leagues, yet we saw a change of a couple hundred at best. Thats only for EU. | ||
