I’m sure somebody has said this as I haven’t read the whole thread, but in case not…

Blizzard is concerned about game stability and wants to make sure that is fine before launching ladder.

The title of this thread provides a hint. Devs want to make absolutely sure the code can survive - especially in the network area. If all goes very, very well in the early days, we’ll see ladder much sooner. If it’s a s**tshow, it could be months.
But, TBH, my interest in ladder has taken a hit, since now ladder-only rune words are available non-ladder.
