LADDER
I just noticed that the ladder ranking distribution changed because of the S ranks coming out or whatever, but now there are so many " A " rank players sitting at 1700 - / + MMR that it kind of really takes the meaning out of being ' A ' rank like it used to be, the significance, the feeling, etc.
I have never reached A rank on PGT or iCCup, but now almost anyone can hit A rank, it really makes the letter rankings seem even more insignificant than the MMR #'s in general, I understand there is a lower player pool outside of Korea, but I really think there needs to be the - / + system put back into place because of the fact that these rankings now are not at all even close to holding the weight or feeling of achieving B / A rank on iCCup / PGT in the past.
F - > E -> D -> C- / C / C+ -> B- / B / B+ -> A- / A / A+ -> S
I think this would be the most proper way to distribute the ladder rankings, as really now being B / A rank holds no weight, even C rank players right now are really like D / D- players most likely.
I think the ladder rankings need to be reworked, right now it just doesn't feel the same, the ladder rankings are meaningless right now in my opinion, hopefully it will actually be more challenging and rewarding in the future, as it used to be back in the day. I guess really the is the main purpose of the VPN craze going on right now, as playing only Korean players would absolutely make the rank a little more significant.

Wholeheartedly agree with this. Right now if your smack dab in the middle of C, you could lose or win a few games and be in D or B. +/- Ranks are good as well.

Honestly, I think the best ladder system was Gamei, a Korean ladder server, it was a really long time ago and many might not remember it, but it just used a MMR / Number based system as well, and it was just damn cool / cool looking.
The ' Borders ' Around your portrait is also pretty lame, the reason ladder grinders grind is to have that B / A or whatever rank you are aspiring for, TO SHOW BESIDE YOUR NAME, people shouldn't have to click your profile to see your A rank / what MMR you are, you should also have the option to CHOOSE to show your RANK as a portrait as well.

ADDED 2ND POLL...
SHOULD LADDER RANK BE ALLOWED TO BE SHOWN AS A POTRAIT AS WELL? YES / NO? ^ ^ ^ above

They need to add +/- ranks and I think having 600+ players in S rank is a lot.

it doesn't need a rework, it needs to be worked on more(right direction, less than stellar execution), but more importantly the percentage split needs to not be as even as it is between D-A.

I dont see why +- would really help, you can lose enough points in one day to very viably drop an entire rank. Adding in little sub division speed bumps would only accelerate the oddity. If 'everyone being A' is a problem -- but A is only supposed to be the top 8%, then what went wrong? Is 8% not rare enough or do foreigners just have a massively stretched mmr because of no player base?
If its the latter why would forcing 90% of a tiny player base into a couple ranks be helpful?

Current v1.22 ranking distribution
To give you an idea, assuming there are a total of 100,000 ranked accounts (there's probably a lot more):
0.01% = 10 accounts 0.1% = 100 accounts 1% = 1000 accounts
That's what I think S, A and B should be.
Or someone could write a dynamic formula where the percentages change based on the total number of ranked accounts that exist, and the top 10 accounts would be S rank.

This is little more than a wish aimed at Blizzard. Try posting it on their forums. It'll do nothing posted here.
