I keep getting losses from games that never spawned for me, but when I check the logs it shows I had an opponent and I end up losing after about 3-4 minutes. Just started today for me, never had it happen before. I have to log out for a significant period of time for it to spawn a game for me, and then even after that it seems to happen again. yes, happened 2-3 times today to me as well

Means that the system probably runs through and indexes all players once a week or so. i was just promoted from gold to platinum just now as well. i went 8-2 and was placed in gold and on exactly my 80th game (my record is now 47-33). i won against a platinum player which i didn't know until the end of the game. weird part was that i was slightly favored BEFORE the game started when i was rank 7 in gold, while he was rank 10 in platinum. the game does not seem to rely on rank/points to determine who is favored... Interesting so instead of the previously thought "every 30 games" it sounds like it may actually be "every 40 games" that it checks?
either every 40 games... or on a time basis like every week. that and how well you do against higher ranked players whether you win or lose.
i think that the system knows how badly you beat the person as well...

nm to every 40 games. you played 95 and got promoted. but that's at least 3 people who got promoted today... it might be on a time basis and i believe the game measures how well you do against high ranked players win or lose...

To add data, I just got promoted from copper to silver (Yes I suck =[ ) after losing to bring my record to 64-63.

I have only played zerg for all 94 of my games and have not been promoted to gold yet. Does anyone think this may be a contribution to being able to rank up? (i.e. have the people that ranked up played alot of races, and people that have not ranked up only played maybe the same race?)

i've only played protoss for all 80 games. that has nothing to do with it.

Instead of theorizing couldnt some1 just email blizzard and ask them about it? or is it top secret?
|
So I was right It seems that the system re-indexes everyone and re-balances the divisions based on time, not necessarily games played (while that may also be true).
|
i still stand by the idea that it goes on a weekly basis or so. i just checked my platinum league division 10 and out of 62 people, over half are new (exclamation mark next to their names). and i mean over half.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and am in the beta. I was never a huge Starcraft player, but loved Warcraft III and will be moving on!
Anyway, I've had 2 interesting experiences since I've started playing the beta. The first was after going 0-7 in the placement rounds for 2v2, I then won the last 3 very convincingly (after lots of practice) and got placed into silver with a 3-7 record. Since then, my total record stands at 20-15 and I just got promoted from silver to platinum (skipping gold).
There's obviously no way that this just looks at record. I'm guessing it has something to do with your average unspent resources, result of last x matches, time taken to win/lose, closeness to opponents score etc.
EDIT: Also, my name is RHINOCEROS.feelsgoodman in beta if anyone needs to verify any of my claims.

its not about win/loss ratio. you might have played easier/lower ranked players since its random on who you play against.
more people just entered my platinum league... they do it all at once. i suggest everyone to play games tonight and see what happens.

i just told a friend to play a game to test my theory. he was rank 7 in silver, won a game and moved to gold right away.

Also finally promoted today from Gold Rank 1 to Platinum Rank 9, Division 3. My friend was promoted too, so I guess they do waves :D
It was a nice surprise, after losing 3/6 games today automatically due the "Players Found" bug

Maybe they fixed the algorithm.
