I'm so frustrated right now. I got up to near gold level in silver and rank #1 & at one time bonus pool says zero. This is the last thing I wanted. I do not want to get to gold at all. But I just keep winning & winning. Even when I pick an off race just to mess around, my opponent seems to be the worst player ever & I have to quick surrender before I wipe him out. Not to mention my rank hardly falls at all when I lose, I hardly lose any points. I just want my rank to fall a bit, but its so hard. Does it matter the manner in which I lose. Will I lose more points in a long drawn out game. I really want to lose like 40 points per game, but I just can't make it happen. Any advice how to lower my ranking? thanks
Why lower your ranking? If easy matches annoy you then keep winning to get matched with higher lvl players instead
Could someone explain the bonus pool mechanic to me? I am #1 in my bronze league division and sometimes beat silver leaguers (about 50%). When would I get promoted to silver? My bonus pool is quite high though, as I can only play two or three games every other day or sometimes only once a week.
Bonus pool is for those people like you who don't have time to play. It gives them extra points after wins, and take away less points when you lose by sacraficing points from the bonus pool. So with nothing in your bonus pool let's say you win and get 5 points but with points in your pool you get 15 points. Ya get what I mean? Works the same way with losses. As for the leagues and such, you just gotta beat a favored player/team and you should move up to the next division.
The problem is that silver leaguers are always classified as "teams even", even if they are among the top 30 of their league...

Yeah, I don't get wtf is up with Silver League. I get into the most difficult fights for some reason. IT's wierd.
