There was no downtime nor was there a patch download, just seems to be minor tweaks to map pools which you will download upon queuing. Yes they added old maps back to the 3's and 4's
I wish you all great games and goodluck, sorry in advance for the lack of general content in the OP.
I have looked on blizzard for an offical statement and didn't find one, mods please edit when they post, currently playing

EU should happen after midnight, EU season runs till the 12th.

the EU login screen shows a breaking news which says that the usual maintenance will take place tonight between 3pm and 5pm.
i guess the new (EU) season will start then.

Me too guys... I just started playing again. About 100 games in the last 3 days or so, but since the season was locked I was stuck in Plat, while playing masters players lol. Hopefully I get bumped up to diamond at least haha.

Still fighting to get my skill back after a ~year break, but unless the new system is buggy it shows how completely fucking retarded the old one was. Cause I played plat/diamond players (I was in gold) during the lock, and after my first game (win) this season I was placed at the fucking bottom of gold lol
|
No changes to the map pool? I can't believe Shakuras is STILL there. Come on Blizzard, it's been there for like 8 seasons
|
So does the ranking system goes by what your "rank number is" or is it just like before, where it is unclear?
|
i got placed as rank 88 diamond..i was rank 3 diamond for last season..nice job..

I'm sure the masters players are loving that! lol
If you really want to know how to annoy masters players, at the beginning of the game ask them what league they are. There's nothing more annoying to a masters player than to realize their MMR is so low theyre playing diamonds.

Ladder tiers removed so rank 88 better reflects your position within diamond.

this is just speculation and from my understanding, your MMR was pretty much put into "tiers" of leagues last season, so you wouldn't know which tier you were in unless you actively followed your rating.
Now that all leagues are even you will now know where you are among your respective league and if you are close to the top this season you are probably pretty close to a promotion.
Last season you could have been rank 3 in your diamond division, but you may have been in the 3rd or 4th hidden tier, so in reality you are not close to a promotion.

Get ready to defend against cheese of all types! gl hf all.
|
doesn't it take awhile to actually get all that tier stuff set up?
