Plat friend of mine didn't play them serioulsy trying stupid stuff, he's now in silver league (lol!)


i was in diamond. got placed in silver. and now i'm in platinum.
i guess i'll get back into diamond after a few more games.

only theory i have is that i played my placement matches a few minutes after the reset and the only guys who played all 5 placement matches were really good players and the Blizz Ladder system was trying to fill out each league according to their stated proportions. so for the very short specific time period where i was playing SIlver was where i belonged.

i didn't know about the 25 match requirement for Master's League. that is probably also holding me back from getting back into Diamond. there are probably a glut of Masters players who don't play the game as much any more sitting in Diamond.

did this change only affect NA/EU? KR started a day earlier and i don't recall any reports of this


Yes, only NA/EU for now. Similar changes will probably be rolled out to KR/SEA/CN if they're intending to maintain parity.

Lost all my 5 placement matches to find out what I get and had my bronze.

Games are fun playing random and any strat I wanna, considering I was 14 times master or so.

Sry for doing this

I do get the impression that promotions and league "sorting out" is happening faster than before. I've played two dozen games and already promoted twice from bronze into gold. Silver league still has a lot of former plat and diamonds.

After starting from blank MMR the MMR changes rapidly for some ~30 matches before stabilizing (promotions based on MMR to player's actual league after 25th match or the first following win). After that the change rate will slow down just like before.

When starting from blank MMR the starting MMR value has usually been set to be something from the middle of the entire ladder MMR range (before first placement). But this time people's old MMRs may have affected that starting value more (Like Excalibur_z noted some of last season master players have reported that they were placed into higher leagues (platinum / diamond) even after losing all 5 placements).

I won 2/5 qualifiers matches (lost to ex-dia, masters and plat), and got demoted to silver. Last season I was top-1 gold. We'll see how long will it take to get back to gold or even to platinum

I like the dynamic feel the ladder gets this way - if we look away from the few, who use this to tank themselves.
Im happy they did this, since people who have been away for a while (like myself) can get a fresh start (or so).. Even though this creates a bigger concentration of players in the lower leagues (atleast in the beginning) .. But after a few weeks , i really think the ladder is going to be alot better than before

They always keep a close eye on things but still manage to screw it up.

it took all this time to screw everything up so bad, it'll be a while still before the ladder gets better. you still have a ton of people stuck in the lower three leagues where they don't belong, and it will be hard to get out. if blizzard can keep the broken mmr decay disabled for a few seasons, it should start to even out to where they want it to be.

On EU 4-1 got Platinum. On NA 1-4 got Platinum (my usual league) ... Looks like 5 matches instead of 1, but with still MMR kept. Perhaps shifting faster than it usually does though.
- Got 2 matches in the first 10 on eu after a win streak, that were high master last season (lost 1 then 2 points)
- Got a bunch of losses on NA, ended with a win against a bronze player (14min 3tanks/20marines timing)

I was diamond last season, went 5-0 in placement matches, but I got placed into platinum. Not sure how that happened. On the plus side, after 10 games I got back into diamond, and after another 10 got put into masters. Did they reset the league mmr thresholds too?

nios.kr is still fucked up whereas it usually normalizes after 2 days. I hope it gets sorted out quick, we have no idea of our current ranking right now.

Nios doesn't help with that at all, it's literally completely irrelevant for that purpose.
