Can anyone confirm that the Ladder Promotion screen / info is only seen post-match?

Thanks for the write-up, kind of a bummer that the progress bar is only seen after a match, they should really keep it up at all times imo.

Ya I was sad to see that once you leave the score summary screen you can no longer get back to it. I also noticed last night that you don't get to see your opponents tier as the game is loading.
Smile tomorrow will be worse :)

The technology just isn't there yet.

We're talking about Blizzard entertainment here. As someone who designs software, you'd think they'd have a bunch of end users involved closely in the development process to ensure stuff like this doesn't happen, but... agile techniques haven't exactly made their way to Blizzard.

Because the right people just aren't there yet.

When it says eligible for promotion is that from Silver X to Silver X-1 in your case or Silver to Gold?


The order goes 3, 2, 1, so that would be a promotion to Gold. It would probably be pretty handy if they added badges on both sides of the bar to make that clearer!

e: Misunderstood your question. The bar applies to your current tier and not your overall league. If I were in Silver 2 then the bar would represent the gap between Silver 2 and Silver 1, not Silver and Gold.


But do we have the capacity to see the distance between Silver and Gold in their case? As someone who has multiple master's trophies and wins on ladder but stuck in diamond, I've been curious for years how far I am away from getting the damn promotion

Not until that information is crowdsourced. You'd have to ask someone who's in Diamond 1.

Yeah or they just adapted it to actual consumer demand that didn't want to be stalked or had ladder anxiety, just as they said in their AMA

But your agil brain must have seen that already...

My MMR is 5795 and I was rank 16 GM before revamp (and my points had "settled" compared to my MMR), if that information is of use. (NA)

Edit: Oh shit, you can see contender right now! Although there's no GM til next week.

Haha, time to knock the last guy out of contender by playing a game on my smurf.

5300 is pretty low, guitarcheese hasn't played in three seasons and got 5800. I think you'd do fine at 5300

not so far but maybe i started off unlucky. still, i'll survive and turn it around soon enough. 5800 and that out of shape is gonna be really rough
