Holy shit at Division five.....500 games played @ RunA? Good lord.

No offense to all of these top rank threads, but who really cares? To me it really doesn't matter when most of the good competition isn't even playing the beta. Most guys have admitted that it is easy to get into the platinum league, and although I believe its not a easy ride all the way to the top its not the hardest either. Us without a key could care less who is top 10, and those that have a beta can check themselves if they care right?

Wow @ Runa's games played o.O
Also, Div 7 is almost pure zerg right now

You have to have a friend in each division, then you have to check each friends profile -_ - It takes forever cause there's no back button.
RunA's record is wtf insane. That's a lot of games - can't be just one person?
I like these threads, so thx!

Pape we can't check other divisons, only the one we reside in. So this information is very nice and appreciated, at least for me!
|
Some people do care and it doesn't hurt those that don't care. It doesn't take long to hammer these things together so its not like I am breaking my back for something of admittedly low value .

at the moment it seems impossible to switch divisions so it doesnt really matter that much :S

Oh, that's kind of stupid than! I thought this was for us without a key. Never mind, hopefully I don't get somebody to bash my post, but they should implement something so you can check all the leader boards otherwise you are totally disconnected by not having chats and from every other division.
I guess on that note, do players from different leagues and divisions ever get matched with each other?

Yeah, constantly, which is why I'm so annoyed by this whole division system. They give different points for wins depending on what division you are in (or at least, this is what I've been told), so the players in smaller divisions get less points to keep the disparity between players smaller or something.
I dunno, I'd much rather just have 1 ranking Or at least have 1600 pts mean the same regardless of what league or division you are in.

I believe this is how it works. Those who are proposing the different points different division theory have no supporting evidence. The disparity with points comes from the sheer fact of Bonus/Rest points + those who play 300 games will always have more points than those who play 50 because if you are 240-60 and the other guy is 50-0, you will invariably have a much higher ELO, its just common sense.
It's my belief that there is parity between the divisions, and you can rank by ELO and get accurate results (Though the B/R pts skew the whole system....).

so many known starcraft players in the rankings...

I want 1600 to mean the same across all divisions tho. Like, it sucks when someone can be in gold with 1600 points and someone in Platinum with 1200 points can be ranked higher.
It makes no sense! Split the leagues in some other way, or at least give a "master ranking" - I want to see overall rankings not division by division/league by league.
Also, maybe it is just a coincidence, but look at Orly in Division 7. The guy is 125-25. He's got 1539 points. Look at mTwMFkAra in division 6 - 125-48, 1554 pts. Look at OgerEli in Div 7: 135-41 -- 1422 pts
Then let's look at me - JinrO, Division 3: 82-36 -- 1672 pts
Or hell, let's look at the leader of my division since he's played about the same amount of games: Naugrim: 122-49 -- 1818 pts
Does that really make sense? Why isn't there anyone in the big divisions who has a ton of games played, a good record, but a low score?
|
Hopefully on the release the divisions are spread more evenly (roughly the same amount of players per division) so the pts among the top rankers are more closely matched - rather than how they are now.
Although i dislike this division system - and much prefer everyone being in 1 division such as the war3 tft ladder, i guess too many people will be playing - and staying in the top 20 or so would be a nightmare.

Definitely works the way FA says. The less players in a division the less disparity. My guess was that Blizzard were doing this so that players in empty divisions wouldn't gain too big of an ELO lead, before the division was filled up with players.
Elo is only absolute within your own division, or towards a division with the same amount of players (no doubt about it working like this). Feels like I've posted this in at least 5 threads, but some dude who's never played the beta always claims he knows better.

Us without a key could care less who is top 10, and those that have a beta can check themselves if they care right? For those of us without keys it can be interesting to see which races are dominating the ladders. Also it's interesting to see which old players from BW and wc3 are on the ladder and possible planning to play sc2 once it's released.

The point difference between Naugrim and mTwMFkAra should be evidence enough that your point ranking is only absolute within your own division. Which kind of annoys me, since it becomes very hard to compare players from different divisions.

wow so many zergs in the last division
