Can they create some algorithm to see that somebody f'ing sucks at Starcraft, was about to lose, but got lucky that my computer froze?
I select Veteran. I was 3 seconds away from EASILY (walk in the park (practically sleeping)) winning my first placement match, then *boom*, computer freezes.
I come back to win 4-0 the rest of the placements in an incredibly uneven set of matches. Then, "Congratulations! You've been placed in Gold division!"
Thanks, Blizzard. I can't wait to live in placement match heaven where I log on and can practically play all the placement-level matches I want!

you'll get promoted like in 5 games if you win them all. Happened to me during the reset twice a week phase on bnet.

Can everyone please stop making sarcastic blogs complaining about this? "Thanks Blizzard!!! (I'm saying thanks but actually I'm super pissed GOD I'M SO CLEVER)"
You know what, I'm going to thank Blizzard in a very non-sarcastic way. Thank you Blizzard, for letting me play a great game for free.

You forgot to close it

It's not shiny at all, its just blue

Lol. My game crashed twice after the patch 10 during placement matches. I won all the games I didn't crash in. (I was 1900 rating in Platinum before so placement matches are usually a cake walk.)
Now I'm a proud member of Silver league. But doesen't really matter. I know I will be bumped to Platinum sooner or later, I'll just enjoy noob bashing and play some random while I'm still here, so should you! Not a big deal.

So you're not just annoyed at the bad luck that your comp froze at that moment... you're mad at Blizzard for not having an algorithm to work around this... lol.

You're mad that you're in gold and not in platinum? Well then win a lot and you'll get promoted? What's the big deal?
Plenty of people go 5-0 and still get placed into gold. There was no guarantee you would be put in Platinum. Maybe after this reset, you're actually a gold player?
|
haha oh god my comp has been the one that made me lose ten games or so just on computer crashing. Could have been plat earlier but took me much longer. eventually ended up gold 1 to plat ~34. but yeah, you will be platinum in no time so don't worry lol
|
how come you're mad at blizzard why not be mad at the people who create/do that stuff ;P
|
how dare you pieces of shit mess with Quesadilla?
Fuck you all fuckers.
but yeah, stop bitching. ;o

i lost my first placement due to disconnect after patch 9...but they still placed me in plat for some reason... and based on my experience it's extremely easy to move up to plat...

It seems it is. I've played around 20 games now, first made it to Gold League from Silver League and now I'm in Platinum League. If you are truly a Platinum Level player (which isn't hard at all) you can easily push through the leagues, because you shuold be destroying most opponents without much problem.
|
I got 4-1 in my placement matches, and the loss came from a disconnect.. I got placed into platinum :D it was awesome
|
The main reason I'm complaining was a) This was 2 mins after I got placed, and b) I don't have enough time to play very many games these days. I can seriously play about 50 per month, tops. I'd really like my time spent to be on worthwhile games.
I've moved up to plat every time, but it's an annoying process.
