Note that Free For All FFA or arranged matches where you choose to play against specific friends do not count toward placement in a league, or ranking up or down within the ladder system.
Q: How do I form an arranged team? For example, my friend and I want to play 2v2. A: Invite your friend either by right-clicking them in your friends list, or right-clicking their name from another screen such as a score screen or their profile. When right-clicking their name you'll see an option to invite them to a party. Once you're in a party, click the Multiplayer menu item in the top left, and select the team size according to the number of people in your party.
In your specific case, you'd choose 2v2. From this, we are able to determine your general level of ability and place you in a league that we believe to be appropriate for your skill. Does the system take into account stats gathered from within a match, e.
No, the system only cares about whether a match was won or lost, and the skill of the participants. A league is a rough measurement of a player's skill. By completing your five placement matches you'll be placed into one of these leagues. There's also the practice league for players who are starting out, and other special leagues may be created in the future to provide rankings that differentiate the top players.
Leagues are divided up into divisions consisting of at most teams or individual players in the case of 1v1. Those teams or players compete for the top slots in each division. In the future, there will be tournaments to determine the top players in each division and the winners will compete to determine the top players in each league.
The system is divided up this way so players can track meaningful progress within their division while competing against others of similar skill. How do I move up in rank within my division? For example, from rank 51 to rank Players gain points towards a higher rank by competing with other players and winning. However, it is important to remember that the number of points awarded is based on the rated difficulty of your opponent.
Example: Player A may have a win-loss ratio of and be ranked in the Silver League at 35; while player B may have a win-loss ratio of and be ranked The difficulty of some of those matches say playing against Gold League players may mean that he either received more points for a win or lost fewer points for a loss. How do players move down in rank on the ladder? For example, from rank 44 to rank Grandmaster league was added in patch 1.
This league represents the Top players in each region. Experience intergalactic warfare through an epic story campaign, best-in-class multiplayer competition, and collaborative co-op missions.

What is the bonus pool and how are bonus points acquired? The Bonus Pool is an accumulation of points that every player receives whether they're online and playing or not.
They're essentially used as a means to help give a player a catch-up boost if they haven't played in a while. The pool does have a cap but it increases slowly until the end of a season. How is the bonus pool used in competitive play? When you achieve victory against another player, you are awarded a certain number of points.
The Bonus Pool points will match the number of points you received for winning. For example: If you were to have a Bonus Pool of 30 and you win a match that would normally give you 10 points, points will then be pulled from your Bonus Pool to match those 10 points and you'll be awarded 20 points for winning that game.
Your bonus pool will then sit at The bonus pool encourages players to keep playing ranked games and improve their ranking. It makes the matchmaking non zero-sum, which in turn means its not a viable strategy to get to 1st on the ladder, and then sit there for 3 months while no one can approach your zenith.
In actual terms of mechanics, it is a bonus value added to your rank when you win. Extra earned rating will match, point for point, any rating you accrue from winning games, until the pool is empty.
From a game design perspective, bonus pool replaces Warcraft III's ranking decay. It's effectively the same, since people who play actively will outrank those who don't. But it means any points you do earn while playing will not be lost due to inactivity. It just replaces a negative system with a positive one.
One other example for clarity: WoW's bonus XP if you haven't played in a while.
