Ladders and leagues

[Eukanuba]

It seems that there are a lot of players whose rating doesn't make sense considering the league they are in. I know that the original idea was that you would go up a league if you were a certain amount ahead of the pack (I never quite understood the details tbh), but I would like to make a suggestion.

When this ladder season finishes, how about if players are reseeded based on either their 1v1 rating? It could be done either that a certain range of scores qualifies you for a given league, or it could be that the leagues are limited by number fo participants. So for example you could have the players seeded accordingly:

XP: top 50 players in 1v1 ranking
T3: next 100 players in 1v1 ranking
T2: next 150 players in 1v1 ranking
T1: next 300 players in 1v1 ranking
Scouts: everyone else

or,

XP: Players above 1600 1v1 ranking
T3: Players 1300-1599 1v1 ranking
T2: Players 1000-1299 1v1 ranking
T1: Players 600-1000 1v1 ranking
Scouts: Players <600 1v1 ranking

I chose those figures based on how many people are in each league at the moment, but it could be split whichever way people think is best. I propose everybody is reseeded at the end of each league season.

Yeah, at the moment I've played 450 games yet I am still a "calcicriete" which is a wall section, not even a unit!

It's done like that since the system is up. Check the wiki.

Oh yes. Well, I feel a bit silly now, I thought you could only go up a league if you were well ahead of the pack, so to speak. Although the wiki is a bit ambiguous, I realise now that this bit refers to changing leagues mid-season:

Code: Select all

Going to an upper leauge

If you gather more than 30 points, and more than 150% of the second place in your league (90 points while the second is 60 for example), you will go on the upper league.
You will 60% of your points to the next league

Anyway The real flaw in the system is that during every beginning of the new season it's much easier to jump to upper leagues. You just need to play more than the average. If you get paired with people of your level you don't lose points in case of loss and you gain points in case of win , so it's a joke to get +50% from the second place when there are people with like 2/3/4/5 points. That's the case of cristian2001 who played a lot in the first two days of this last season and reached xp league without efforts. Now he's like -190 points in the ladder, clearly indicating that his promotion wasn't good for him. I would allow promotion with +50% from the second with minimum points so that we don't risk to play in leagues which don't represent our skill. Until now this wasn't a problem because many did not realize luckily how the system works
