Something pretty nerdy...
So there’s a lot of talk about the map being unfair... Well would this be possible?
If we set up a league where everyone pre-season is ranked. And we are put in to sort of divisions or tiers...
So like from tier one would be the top 10 players
Tier 2 top 20 and then tier 3 top 30 and beyond..
With that being said when a tier one player plays a tier two player he will earn less points and lose more points than if he played a player in his own division/tier . I Believe this will help with dodging AND bashing. Because we can set up the point system (which changes drastically) like this :
Tier 1 vs Tier 1 would be +75 -75
Tier 1 vs Tier 2 would be +50 -75
Tier 1 vs Tier 3 would be +25 -75
So this is where it helps with dodging... a player who would normally dodge a top player is more willing to play that player knowing that all he has to do is win 1 game to make up for 3 losses.. and this also makes it so that no one can really bash because if you’re playing players at a lower tier , you’re taking a bigger risk.
And also top players would have to win a LOT more games than you lose which would make it so that “bashing” isn’t really significant.
So for example.. let’s say Player A always dodges Player B
If Player A knows that all he has to win is 1 game out of every 4 to break even with player B then he might be more willing to play.. and with fastest we all know that all it takes is a Mid Zerg for a lower tier player to beat a higher tier player so it’s very likely that lower ranked players would be willing to player better players because they can continue practicing with a low risk to their league points.
Also with Divisions/Tiers it’s easier for players to play players of their own skill rank..
I think this will also help with activity because If we categorize players then it will make players wants to get better and try getting in to Tier one be respected as a good player.
Idk this is just something to talk about and maybe some of you have better ideas or can polish this one up.. something new would be pretty cool.. and we can always go back to the current model.
Also the tiers.. and a lot of things I mentioned are a lot more complex and we need to set up rules and stuff .. but this is just a start to get the discussion going
So my idea of how this will work is that we will have two different ranks one is our tier
Tier 1, Tier 2, etc and the other is our rank in the season
So like if I’m 3rd in the league it will show up in the standings as 3rd with my Points but it would also show that I’m a tier one player or something like that.. idk.. what do you guys think ? Too nerdy ?
