wait so.. they reverted back the change... again?
If you bothered reading, they modified it, the closer you reach the higher/lower ends of the MMR system the more closely your opponents will be in skill. People who are in between those extremes (majority of the sc2 player base) will be effected by these changes. You being high masters should be facing similar skilled opponents more frequantly. Gold, plat and diamond should be the most effected by the change. |

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.
Awesome for pros. They can fit in more ad revenue while the matchmaker takes longer to find them games, and the games should be much more entertaining to watch and better to play for them. |

| Hate this change, tired of getting games worth +3/-20 points at low masters, much rather play an even match vs an opponent at my level than getting crushed by a much better player or getting cheesed by a worse one. |

| Awesome, playing against better people is always good practice, and playing against worse people is always good for making you feel better! |

looking forward to seeing the effects!

| Love the changes, I get to see if I can keep up with higher ranked players and I get to hydra/nydus the lower league ones. |

| Negatively impacted? Unless they're changing something this is still bullshit. 4 games in a row I go from playing Fenrir and SeleCT to 2 fucking diamonds one of whom 4 gates and I lose 22 points? Highest level? What do I have to be? HuK? It was a good idea in theory but they have to work on the execution still, way too many of my matches are starting with me favored, you have to use completely different builds and it give little practice, often ending in frustration regardless of if I win or lose. All these +5 points half of the people can't even build workers worth a damn if they don't allin. |

Its pretty lame on a small population server like SEA. 1 match im facing like high diamond next match im facing opponents that are not even high silver. Thats with me being high plat.
Worse thing is at silver all ins are really common so theres a good chance I might get 6 rax marine/scv all-in and lose like 20 pts because of that. Even if i hold them off it takes me so long to win them after that its not remotely worth the 5 pts. Its pretty stupid.
Not working as intended would be a euphemistic way of putting it.

| Nice, sounds like they have everything working as intended now. I like playing people a little outside my skill range. I thought it was a little weird when I was playing PainUser earlier o_O Thankfully I only lost 3 points for it haha Last edit: 2012-04-24 12:53:57 |

| So pointless, I don't think anybody really had a problem with the way the matchmaking originally worked why does Blizzard feel the need to make these useless changes meanwhile there's dozens of other horrible flaws with Bnet that continue to go ignored. Last edit: 2012-04-24 13:13:01 |

| This is still rly annoying T_T at mid masters I play a ton of top masters, played a couple GM's, and now I'm playing diamonds. I don't like this at all. :/ |
