Hey guys, don't be depressed if your initial placement is bad, my plat friend who started in silver this morning was back in plat this evening

5-0 and I've got platinum. I used to be high diamond. It's one season that I try to play 1vs1 ladder and get high diamond, then Blizzard decides to reset ladder. :D

Its just the distribution being shifted probably due to the more committed higher ranked players playing their placements day 1 and the more casual or lower level players not playing their placements day 1

Give it another week or two and the distribution will fix itself so long as ppl play.

I was plat last season, played 4-1 and still plat, so nothing changed for me. But I like the MMR reset. Will help some people that were stuck and demote some people that didn't deserve their league but didn't get demoted since there are no more demotions .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

This is what I am seeing on NA today.

Spent last season in gold.

Today I won only 2 out of 5 placements, almost all players better than me, and placed into bronze.

Played a bunch of games since then and virtually everyone I've played is an unranked former diamond doing placements, almost all much better than me and on average much, much better than the gold leaguers I played last season. The weak metal leaguers from last season are nowhere to be seen. So my interpretation is that the better "try hard" players are active doing placements today and the weak metal leaguers from last season are taking a break so the ladder today skews towards much higher skill. I think if you were someone gold or below in previous seasons you are probably having a hard time today like me.

So it may not be a global reset, because if it were, everyone who went 0-5 in Placements would end up in Bronze or Silver, and that doesn't appear to be the case for some really high-level Master/GM players who have gone 0-5 and placed in Diamond. Also, some low-level players who went 5-0 ended up in Silver. It could be that everyone was just thrown back into calibration phase and all that entails: the 5 placement matches, the more volatile rating changes over the first ~30 games, the conservative initial league placement, the 25-game requirement to get into Master league, all that stuff.

When is nios.kr going to show the new season? When I go to it, it is still the rankings from last season.

Nios.kr only pulls from the Battle.net web profiles, so it's the web profiles that need to be updated to the next season. This usually takes a day or two.

as always my reaction to people's complaints is "if you play enough your MMR will settle to where you belong just like it always has, stop caring about the pride of being in a certain league". i started out playing bronzies and i've been battling back up. ok, so i played some boring games against some bad players. i got to practice my macro and experiment with builds and win games, boo hoo.

unless you're GM/pro level, then i suppose it might be annoying, but even still the solution is just keep playing. people stick their dicks way too far into the whole league concept

edit: plus now that my unranked MMR is reset i can start learning terran since it's the only race i can't play at a respectable level :D

Exactly the same for me. And as a platin, I have played other plat which were last season : one gold, two platin, 2 diam, 2 high master, one GM.

It's a bit crazy, not knowing at all your opponent level.

Got demoted to silver after those placement matches (I even won vs a plat). I think these leagues won't mean much while the system stabilizes anyway.

Let's play and wait a week or two!

so:

last season: gm, master - best possible: dia, worst possible: plat
last season: dia - best possible: dia, worst possible: silver
last season: plat - best possible: plat. worst possible: silver
last season: gold, silver, bronze - best possible: plat, worst possible: bronze

is that correct? anyone different placement?

I´m a real person. Beep beep.

It's a bit silly. I know someone who gets master just beating a lot of diamand/platium. While Pro don't get promoted as they haven't a good winrate because they matched vs some GM players. Seems just a random : "promotion for who plays a lot of game early after ladder reset".

It will normalize, though. I was placed in gold, last season I was (high) plat. I played like 5 matches, won all but one, got promoted back to plat right away.
