In my opinion, it also detracts from the 'coolness' of seeing a GM in chat channels, since there's an extra 200 of them per server... and they're not even good, they just happened to spend their bonus pool to under 80 before other people did. tldr: WoL still has a GM league, and considering it is pointless now, it should be removed imo. | ||

The portrait border is expansion specific but the league listing is not. In other words, a WOL GM will not have a GM border for HOTS. However, the GM logo would still appear on the right hand side of the main profile screen. I believe they should modify this so only HOTS league placement is visible. I have some friends who placed diamond early in WOL and have not even laddered 1v1 for HOTS yet they are still listed as diamond league (but no portrait border). | ||

While the visible points is a general indicator of your rating, it is separate from what actually determines your placement. I know how the system works, but I worded it like I did because there's actually next to no one playing wings of liberty still so anyone with, like, mid masters MMR and up is getting promoted. Also, you can't get in GM with more than 80 bonus pool afaik. | ||

I am doing it right now and I'm only diamond in HOTS. (im actually better than most GMs on the server, but I didn't ladder) it's just silly. Grandmaster was a league for the elite players* and there's nothing elite about wings of liberty anymore lol. *= elite players for that server | ||

I guess the "league listing" you are talking about is the "highest league finish", which means that a random scrub who got into Diamond/Masters in season 1 or 2 back in 2010 still has his Diamond/Masters icon even if now his MMR is on bronze level... So basically that icon means nothing anyway (at least when it comes to current actual skill), it's mostly here for prestige and bragging rights, so if you ask me it makes entire sense to show a GM icon for WoL GM's lol | ||

Who cares about GM on WoL ? Hell, how many people care about ladder in WoL ? Should we also remove it entirely? | ||

Second when I log onto HOTS I see that there is a 100,000 people currently logged into battle.net, clearly there are people playing SC II. I play the game daily, but I don't count as a someone. Your reasons for GM are dumb. GM is like a way to visually show who the top 200 players in the world are. | ||
