New Ranking System and More Coming with Patch 1.22.0
The world’s most competitive 1v1 game demands an equally rigorous ranking system, so Blizzard Entertainment is proud to unveil details on Patch 1.22.0—the largest content update yet for StarCraft: Remastered. On top of a revamped ranking system, Patch 1.22.0 will introduce the Seasons tab, where players can view detailed stats about their competitive performance, and an upgraded Collections tab where they can access all the cosmetics they’ve acquired.
Players familiar with StarCraft II will feel right at home climbing the new ladder. After completing five matches as unranked competitors, players are assigned a rank, and will progress on the ladder based on their wins and losses. Player ratings are tracked after each match, and competitors earn new portrait borders for each rank they achieve. StarCraft is a game of consequences, so competitors should give it their all—demotion is possible, regardless of the highest rank achieved.

Still no talk about racepicking on ladder

Alright but where is the 2v2 ladder? We are already halfway through 2018.
I hope that soon after this patch when everything (portrait, sc2 style ladder) is workng fine for 1v1 they ll use it for 2v2 in patch 1.23.
Edit: also i hope they dont mean to make the 100 player large division like in sc2. I m fine with plat gold etc but not those.
|
that doesnt work either , gets blocked by bitdefender
edit: im personally hoping for ladder channels w/ the new ladder season
|
I really like they try to improve ladder. I've lost a lot of motivation to play it due to lack of games for non-koreans, maybe this will somehow compensate that.
|
Wow cool.
Studying detailed stats and piling up more and more cosmetics is exactly what I love about Starcraft.
Points alone were really not enough, that rank will really boost my competitiveness.
Thanks for this awesome content update. Largest so far!!!
(spontaneous sarcasm off)
Things mentioned in the video about patch 1.22:
- new ramp-art for map-makers - ICCUP-esque ranking-system - teamgame-matchmaking "on the radar/not so far away anymore"
The KSL-thing is actually great tho.

Have you been in direct contact with Blizzard? If so, have you told them that people want to racepick?

I hope they don't make it too much like sc2 ladder =/
|
So is the patch out, or is this just an announcement? If this is just an announcement, any word when the patch will be released?
|
Was also hoping for the 2v2 ladder, that would be better than a 1v1 ladder revamp imo... havent played for a while, but a 2v2 ladder would definitely change that

Grant used the wording "around the corner" so I'm guessing at the end of the month. Btw, no mention of gateway merging
|
They`ll introduce seasons for the ladder or am I misunderstanding something?
|
Well this is awesome, just wondering WHEN. lol
|
We have now regressed to patch ANNOUNCEMENTS.
|
If you reasd this, Grant, blizzard can gladly contact Iccup via myself in order to negotiate marketing rights for the iccup style ranking system, graphics and so on. /sarcasm.
But to be totally fair, your rank icons are very close to 100% copy of the fish ranking system which was modelled after iccup rankings.
So, wirhout sarcasm: this looks like a blatant ripoff.
