It would have only prevented accounts from continuously drifting downwards. It would have taken long time for people's MMRs to find their correct ranges in natural way. Now we wait if they reset MMRs for all or only for a only subset of players (e.g. those who have faced decay). | ||

Changelog will be released in a few weeks, they definitely have a messed up information policy. | ||

I ended up in Silver where so far I've died to 1 base Protoss bullshit and crushed a Terran in PvT. Hopefully I get back into gold pretty quick. | ||

If it is like that, I would advocate for a return of mid-season league demotions. When starting from blank MMR (as the MMRs were reset - 5 placements mean reset, 1 placement means carried MMR) you are placed conservatively. This means you are often (but not always) in lower league than your MMR at that point is (promotions are slightly delayed). MMR changes rapidly after blank start. But 25th match should promote you to your actual league (if you win that match. Promotions happen only after victories). For example the 25th match is the first possible time to get promoted to master league, even if the player's MMR may have been in master range even some 15 matches before. The placements for stabilized accounts (1 placement match) are placed directly in 'correct league' based on the MMR after the placement match. | ||
