Pretty sure this is plain wrong. There's like 1/100 games at most you will hit these people.
There really can't be that many people sad enough to do this to ruin ladder unless you're laddering at like 5am and hit the same person repeatedly.
I think i may have to disagree with this to an extant. And also disagree with the OP, again to an extant.
firsly pig, one of my mates is in bronze and he vs's players every 3rd game or so that are clearly just there farming portraits or just playing the bronze league. After the games you look at ther profile and they have over 2k games and you see they win a game by over 40k points. its insane. And then after each match they leave their next game instantly . They do this to stay in the bronze league.
However with the OP. I think it is a bit harsh to be saying that the ladder is broken . There is very little Blizzard can do to stop this from happening with out upsetting some sort of balance with the ladder.
They have it now where you can report players who are just deliberately leaving games just to drop to lower leagues. I believe this is possibly the bets blizzard can do about it. I know this is a problem, i have seen this as an issue when watch my mate "Gunter" play.
