 | Also, it is really hard to climb the ladder unless you play a ton of games.
 I don't think the way they have it with the consistent increase in points for the top of the ladder works.
 
 Basically (when your bonus pool has 0 points in it) if you win vs someone even to you, you would gain 10-12 (lets say) and if you lose vs someone even to you, you lose 7-10 points.
 
 This leads to when you win 50%, you gain a few points each session. I know they have the ladder set up to match you up with harder/easier opponents to stay near 50%.
 
 But say I log on, and go 3-3 for the night, i gain a few ladder points, it just seems weird.
 
 
 There should be a few people at the top of ladder with a great W-L but less games played, but all the people up top have >1k games, its crazy.

 | yeah those stats mean nothing....who knows who each player played and when they played.
 
 Bonus pool is a bitch for those who play every day.  Look at my division http://sc2ranks.com/div/16064/division-torus-november  I keep catching up to the guy in first then he comes on and plays til his bonus pool is gone and jumps up like 75+ pts.  I play like 6-8 games a day and only get like 40-50+ pts or so.
 
 damn just noticed Im top 25 in the WORLD in 2s random...
