No the majority of players should be in silver or gold. Bronze is a complete a utter starting point not an average player. No xp/skill at all is bronze, below average is silver, average gold, above average plat, elite diamond+

It isnt a new thing. However, with ags being a low priority for all things / only being able to request things to happen (at their convenience as it were) and long delays… from a people who has delayed even a roadmap by over a month now… you just cant really expect them to get something done.
They have already proven themselves unable to.
I do not agree. I treat pvp like the olympics. You win you get gold, second silver, third bronze. You are not good enough you get nothing.
To that end, there is a reason to be good. There is a reason to get good.
Competition should not be treated as something to give participation rewards over, which is what it is being treated like. ‘But I did pvp, even if I do bad I want something’.
I do not like handouts being given in this fashion for something that should be highly competative.
It’s not a matter of opinion, rank-based ELO games usually start you in some middle ground or offer possitioning matches, that’s just how it works.
These systems are not exactly new, they’ve been succesfully implemented in a crapload of games so far.
It’s like AGS is trying to reinvent the wheel, why?
This is not the Olympics. Look at every other ELO based system and you see they base the ranking division to have the majority in bronze and silver.
You have to qualify to even get into the olympics. The olympics medals are decided by 100th’s of a second. You are way out of the frame of reference.

It seems like the troll is hungry and needs food, some people simply have no idea what they are talking about and just put whatever fits their claim in no matter if it even correlates to the topic being discussed.
Basically if the Olympic Medals should be used as a point of reference, it would be for the top of the top, where the 1st in the leaderboard would get extra rewards, so would the 2nd and the 3rd in the leaderboard. So with the current system they would get like 150%, 130% and 110% of the rewards that the top 20/100 get, wouldn’t that be great? Would make for a great show to see the people really competing to the bloody end.
it was to be used as a reference comparing competition to say the olympics. These people earned what they got. The others… got nothing, plain and simple.
That is why it is so competative for the medals… these people work their ass off. They are good… no just to get into the olympics they are freakin great. They are top tier.
Why should hillbilly joe that came into the olympics and ran the marathon in 20 days get a medal?
Why should the bads get medals in this game, comparatively good rewards for bad play?
To me they should not. The term get good was coins for the reason… that if you want it… earn it. Get good. Learn to time your dodges… learn to aim properly, even if it means to help slow your mouse curser, which actually helped me in the beginning because it was too sensitive.
But to give handouts to people that say “I do not wanna be good, but I wanna get alot of what they are getting at least for being good”. No. Get good.
Wow zen… wow. Olympics were used in reference because it is a competative event that everyone knows of, even moreso than american football and basketball.
Please… please think before you post. For the love of god if you are capable of doing it please do so.
Well so far, in game, Bronze gives you completely nothing, Silver and Gold gets you no real reward more like a “certificate of participation”.
Platinum is the first tier that you can call getting an actual reward because it is a reward you can readily use.
But the only relevent rewards are Grand Master and Master - everyone is aspiring to get, but it is hard when you are hardstuck in bronze because you usually:
A) Get no support while enemy has one (if the teams are around the same in skill, the no-support team stands no chance).
B) You get an afk player or player that plays so, basically never ever really hitting anything, unless someone from the enemy team hard-engages on them (usually good enemy teams see this and start ignoring that off-player as he never ever tries to help/save his teammates or engage on the enemy support/ranged.
C) You as a support never get peeled for and your teammates ignore your buffs and peel attempts for them (have had it too many times spending the majority of match trying to outrun the enemy that goes very deep into our team only for our team to completely ignore them and just run around doing nothing; or a teammate disengaging completely after you catch 2 or even whole enemy team in a major CC; or engaging right after buffs expire; or ignoring healing fields and fight the enemy out of the field, even though the enemy is positioned in it)
D) You lose more points per loss than you gain per win, so even with 50-60% win ratio you have no chance to climb; I was sitting at 80% win ratio, yet the climb was terrible, than I got a streak of afkers or people that simply refused to cooperate in any way, or even just went in and died over and over and over again… and all the climb was gone, I am worse off than I was initially… - which makes the whole PvP pointless. I would rather go 1v1 instead of this clown-fiesta of hoping to get decent teammates. I am not great, I might be good, but at least I try to help others and lock and zone enemies out, I am simply fed of teammates spending majority of the match just watching the others…

This new system wont come untill late this year… LAME
Looks like the game was close they won with just 1 kill more
6 motnhs? Does anyone think game will be alive in 6 months and how will looks like queue time after few months or later wating 30 minutes for match?
Even now the unranked pvp is not played at all, pvp is so bad in this game and need huge overhoul. I made tier 1 yesterday and was waiting 5 minutes for every match, horible experience.
Then we even get something worse then KR has. Do we have to really have worst version of the game in absolutely everything?
I am so sick and tired from AGS.

I always was thinkig its easy to get bronze - silver - gold and then it start getting hard to get new rank but here it’s harder get out bronze then get gold to platina

Why not implement the KR ranked system first then making adjustments (to mmr) based on that? I don’t see how starting with one version of the game makes making adjustments easier or worse than another.
Why not just implement the latest that Korea has then start making adjustments from that based on the differences of players between regions?
