HOTS is highly inaccurate of skill levels... considering not all players get to play hots.

It uses the same MMR system WoL uses so no, its not inaccurate depiction of skill level.

The sc2 player base as a whole improved and you probably got worse. It took me like 3 months to get back to diamond after quitting for over a year and I was losing to gold players.

as the game gets older the general skill level willl improve. you say that silvers play like last years platinums. well everyone has had a year more of practice and experience so that could be plausible.


e/ also this

Also the population of players has dropped but the %number of players in each league hasnt been adjusted so even without people improving the lower leagues will be better based on statistics.
