When you "leave league" don't you still carry the (hidden) MMR number with you? How is it influenced at all by your leaving? When you have to play 5 placement matches, you are thrust back into rating calibration where your MMR changes more dramatically for wins and losses. Usually this comes with an MMR wipe, but not this season. Calibration lasts for, by Korona's estimate, between 25 and 35 games. These guys posit that if you hit Leave League, you go back to 5 placement matches and you re-enter the calibration phase, which could in theory allow you to take longer strides with each game played toward your target rating. Note that the expected result of hitting Leave League is to play only 1 placement match and have your MMR change only as much as that single match. I believe that it's probably logical to still allow 5 placement matches for players who have less than 25-35 games played, since they'd already be in calibration. Has anyone tested Leave League with more than 35 games played this season? | ||

Has anyone tested Leave League with more than 35 games played this season? Yes, an in-game friend of mine has over 500+ games now and has hit leave league multiple times. Every time having to re-play the 5 initial placement matches. MMR doesn't change from the last people that he played before hitting leave league. | ||

ForGG as well, on EU and NA account. Beating GM's but losing to some diamonds (prob gm's as well) The ladder is fucked atm. | ||

It's really strange yeah, my take on it would be that GM and master league are full so that those people will be stuck in diamond until more players do their placement matches this season... I wonder if they would get into masters if they left league by the way. | ||

When you "leave league" don't you still carry the (hidden) MMR number with you? How is it influenced at all by your leaving? AFAIK it's only really useful when the ladder is locked. When they first unlocked all regions per account I suddenly had 2 EU accounts and 2 NA accounts. I often would only focus on 2. When the ladder locked and I no longer had bonus pool to burn I'd go play a "fresh" account. I'd then do my 5 matches over and over until I got placed in Diamond (get gold, go 10-0, leave league, get plat, go 10-0, leave league, get plat....repeat until diamond etc).

I was also hoping that those players' spots would be reserved since when I looked yesterday GM had 150/200 players, but today it has 198 (and 199 on EU) =( | ||

From what I could gather, a lot of players who aren't really GM material got into GM while the awesomeness of some players seems to have made the algorithm bug. Otherwise master league is indeed widely more open (a bit too much ?) and I don't get why they don't get the promotion to at least masters... Still work to be done Blizz ! | ||

If Master league covers a range of like, 2000-2500, and ForGG and Naniwa et al have ratings of 2600+ comfortably in the GM range, they'll stay in whatever their initially assigned league was (in this case, Diamond). Ironically they probably would be promoted into Master league if they dropped down to like 2480 then won a game. As for why they weren't all invited to GM, I have no idea. Both of those things are obviously bugs, but now that GM is filled I don't know how they'll fix them without booting out current GMs. | ||
