A lot of players weren't believing the system had been reverted. I was positive that the new system was there and I loved it! It's now official:
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/5203650/Additional_Matchmaking_Changes-4_23_2012#blog
With the launch of Season 7, we briefly relaxed matchmaking settings to occasionally match players with opponents that were slightly more or less skilled. We quickly found that these changes had undesirable consequences for players at the extreme ends of the skill range, and reverted to the previous matchmaker tuning in response. After analyzing the data and reviewing player feedback, we found that the loosened matchmaking settings also had a positive impact on many players that weren’t playing at those extremes.
With that in mind, we are now ready to move back to the more relaxed matchmaking system, after making some improvements to correct the issues we were seeing. Players should find that a larger proportion of their matches are against opponents of similar skill, but there is some room to allow players to compete against easier and more difficult opponents. As a result of this change, players at the highest and lowest ends of the skill ranges should no longer be negatively impacted by the loosened matchmaking changes.
Matchmaking will not be more relaxed at the highest skill levels. In fact, we’ve tuned matchmaking at the very high end to favor more competitive matches over faster matchmaking. While this may have some impact on match wait times, we believe that this adjustment will improve the ladder experience for high level players and make practicing on the ladder better than it has ever been.
As always, we will continue to monitor the effects of these changes and make further adjustments if necessary.
So, are you finally happy? =)

I dunno. I've been playing bronze, bronze, silver, gold, repeat the past two days.
I'm not quite sure what exactly is going on with the matchmaking system, but I would like to get off this rollercoaster =)

Blizzard can change SEA separately from other servers if you guys ask for it. Make a thread on SEA battle.net foruns, they do listen man, try it. |

| So that's why I've been playing goldies recently. I was wondering if my skill level had dropped this dramatically. Not that there was much to drop but still. |

| This is great to hear. It's so much easier to improve when playing those better than you. |

| Yay! I'm hoping that now I'll start getting masters players, seeing as I've been beating most diamonds lately (plat at the moment, but not for long). |

| I absolutely hate these changes... I either player high masters that are favored and rarely win or I am favored and only get 2 points for winning and god forbid i lose then I lose 20 points... So for the most part I gain 4 points then lose 2 points a rather long and irritating process... And I don't see how they said they've made it were its majority even games cause that seems to be the rarest of all for me... Maybe I'm an isolated incident and if so I'm glad you guys all like it. |

Almost every match I play involves a slightly favored. Not sure my thoughts on it yet. It can get annoying when I am playing people who are just as good as me but I get slightly favored  . |

| I hate it... playing aginst non stop mid masters as a top (750 point) master and getting around 3-8 points for winning... lose 20 points for losing. Sooo frustrating.. |
