Stuck there since the beginning I think you get multiple points 1 for plat 1 for gold 1 for silver 1 for bronze 1 for copper
and every game you win against people in those leagues it affects those points values and win % and what ever leauge you're currently in always gets effected by everything
else i don't get why i started at 922 points in plat in the lonely division in the world only 30 people i think mostly people who are 10-0 or 9-1 and are 1000 points makes up the top 3 lol i won 2 games and advanced to rank 8 t-t
I don't feel very accomplished in this division.
becuase the person i lost to was a platinum player fing 3 gated me

Oh , another thing to add is I had a huge bonus points pool after being promoted. I was close to 1400 in copper I think, but under 1100 after the promotion to silver, but with 195 bonus points.

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.
Again there is almost no chance that they do that. There's no objective way to rank people based on all these variables.
People are overthinking this.
It is almost guaranteed to simply be overall W/L (taking into account opponent strength for both wins and losses, if you lose to people you 'shouldn't then you aren't going to move up), maybe last X games, and that's it.

I'm quite sure it will be relatively weighed. Read up on ELO.

Well I played my first game today, lost and got promoted. It seems they do promotion in waves, and only weekly or bi weekly. Something like that i assume.
|
Heres some info.
I went 8-2 during my placement matches and was placed into platinum division 10. While playing in platinum division I think my record almost about broke even 13-11(ELO was in 900s at the time) and was dropped down to silver division 10. Now after finishing my last game, I was bumped back up into platinum division 11 and not gold division with an ELO of ~1450 and 90-74. This seems to be a new division because next to almost everyones' names there are yellow ! marks that are saying they joined the division today. Also when I joined this new division my ELO dropped to 1354.

Massive people on my friend list, including myself has just been promoted to platinum tonight. Just an update for everyone.
|
man still no promotion for me despite beating a bunch of favored/slightly favored opponents today. Im currently rank 3 in my silver division.
|
Updated: about 50 people in my division just joined platinum today.
|
If anyone played WoW, you would know Tuesday is teh reset day for raids/update for Arena points. Maybe there a connection? I doubt it.. but something to consider
|
|
I got promoted to platinum just now when my game crashed on the loading screen, good system imo.
|
I really don't understand this. I'm playing on a friends account and we've been in silver for a really long time. Then today I got on a 2 (amazing!!) win streak vs platinum users and BABOOM! We're currently on 9th place in platinum

I was at 1880 or so yesterday in Gold(300 ahead of the dude in 2nd) before i lost a game and got the "Player found" bug 4 times. Pretty sure the system is just broken/terrible like all of Bnet 2.0
|
i got moved after my 95th game (a loss) to platinum division 9 euro. there are only 35 people in it, my rating went from 1707 silver to 945 platinum, but whatever, at least its fair for everyone now
|
You playing in euro server??? Btw I just got moved from Gold to Plat after a win fwiw, but it was against a lower rank and I got like 3pts anyways... seems like its just once per week or something.

Five hours ago i was 16th in my Silver with 15xx points, top two were over 2000, several close to it. I won a few games, lost a few, same spot same score.
I log in 15 minutes ago and find myself 9th with the same amount of points, top 7 moved on somewhere. So i play a noob from probably Bronze (I was favored), - win. Bam! I get promoted to Plarinum Div 8 on 7th spot with MorroW on top.
I am probably the worst platinum player ever, when B.net placed me in Silver after 6-4 (2 crashes) i was fine, went 65% winning ratio, but the skill level felt fine, i was probably at 45-50% ratio against favored, although i played a few games vs Kolll (almost won) and Infernal.
Did they implement ProLeague for all the good players?
|
So frustrating. I've been playign all platinum/gold players and I am #1 in my silver division yet no promotion in sight!
|
Guys, be patient. This is beta so the sample size is skewed, and until we know the concrete details of the system, we can't really evaluate it.
|
Currently I am at Rank 1 Silver Division 12 (1550 pts 111 wins - 92 loses)
I don't don't understand, the last 20 games i've played has literally been nothign but platinum and a couple golds. I am playing and beating all these platinum players as a silver shouldn't I see a promotion? I make it a point to check who I play after each match and have not played anyone below gold in almost 25 games.
here is my match history of last matches
win plualone platinum win streetwise platinum loss frozenphone platinum win setheron gold loss mass platinum loss bisu platinum win ocedic platinum loss littlenemo platinum win ryuk platinum win LUNASKY platinum win chakra platinum
I have played like 15 games today and not one of them has been silver. i can update this post after every match as i continue to play nothing but gold + plat as a silver.
i think it's clear that i am not stuck in silver because i play at a silver level. i really wish to get some clarification from blizzard
