If you are masters and play bronzes you get like 1 or 0 points per game until your mmr gets back to a decent level. Not true, points are based upon MMR difference, not league. Someone with a stable MMR for their league will get basically no points but someone who has successfully tanked their MMR will receive the same amount of points a normal bronze would get for these wins. | ||

As for the if some people want to be lame and tank at the start to finish high 'problem', who really cares? Does anybody honestly think a player is better because he has that top #8 icon on his career page instead of a #25? Not to mention, a master league player that is 0 wins and 50 losses at one point, everyone knows what he is doing, it'd stink up his name. And if he is a barcode player? Even better, nobody would even pay more than a second of attention that he is the 'best master league player in the world.' | ||

Makes me really believe that the majority of the sc2 players are a bunch of 13 year old girls. "I am so anxious to ladder", "i could get beaten" "If I queue I might drop out of plastic league".... T_T If I was a game dev I´d change the demotion message to "Due to your horrible performance you are even too bad for league XYZ. You are bad and you should feel bad!" edit: or does it just implicate, because the % of the ladder are fixed that you cant be promoted either? trolololololololo User was warned for this post | ||

How will I actually get a good sense of whether I'm ctually improving or not? play the game and look at how you're doing compared to your previous games. If you start playing opponents that feel stronger your mmr probably went up. | ||

First of all, it makes seasons more meaningful, if something at the end actually can happen. Secondly, you get achievements for finishing a season in a specific league. If you got placed into Diamond but you are afraid for whatever reason that you might drop out again, the achievements encourage you to not play. (Of course achievements don't matter in a rational world, but people aren't rational. And leagues technically also don't matter.) | ||

You can be rank 1 in your division, but in a few days people with higher MMR will climb faster than you. I think the point is to take advantage of the bonus pool that builds up by getting what are essentially free wins off of lower level players. The number of points you can get from the bonus pool as well as free wins is scary to think about. (It's not going to be approaching infinity, but a player can reach a number of points that they would not otherwise be able to, if they abuse something like this.) | ||
