Removal of leagues was one of the... well I'll not throw insults, but I just can't find any way to describe the decision in friendly words. It was an epic disaster.
Adding insult to injury it was then just abandoned and forgotten about, when we were promised close monitoring and tweaking which was never delivered. This decision and then lack of follow through has been one of the most reckless and damaging decisions to the game in its history imho.
Bringing back leagues is one of the best things that could happen... BUT of course tweaks will be needed. I don't think the team will do it w/out that caveat - if you just say 'bring back leagues' and do not propose any modification to the old system, I fear that's a weak point in the 'for' argument and might even cause Matt to ignore the proposal if it were to pass.
Can you add 'modified as seen fit' or something like that??
Edit - yep vugtis already voted it down, but no explanation left here. 😖
Yep 100%, team needs discretion to modify if they're brought back. I'm happy to personally insult you too, Jimmy, if that will make things feel more like discord LMAO
I would like to hear Vugits reasons for the No vote. Hopefully he will say why but of course he doesn't have to if he doesn't want to
Im sharing the same opinion. An obvious self harm. I do agree it needs to be polished, tweaked and worked upon. Will go over the suggestions and edit (giving team leeway is a good idea-as long as in view/spirit of proposed solutions. Regarding Vugtis - perfectly within his right to do so.
Jimmy please remember how long it took for the XBOT DEV to join the team and actually get to work catching cheaters in ranked.
TOS doesn't mean anything unless it can be enforced. They will just make more accounts and try again to beat the profiling that was developed to catch them.
Bringing back league level card caps will reduce the complexity for each league and make it easy for battle helpers to always win as they operate on brute force simulations of the number of possible winning combinations.
Before the XBOT DEV got to work I could tell there were people cheating in ranked. They were not accounts engaged in proposal conversations or discussing things on youtube videos from content creators they were just accounts constantly winning.
Before league caps were removed I was pushed all the way to bronze even though I had a diamond deck. That was botters.
Saying you can "pick your own league" doesn't mean anything. Does the rating system get removed? No. Can I pick Champion with level 1 cards? No.
I didn't sign up to play cheaters using battle helpers. Bringing league level caps back will waste a lot of developer time on a cat and mouse game of them trying to catch the battle helpers in modern ranked. Especially if survival mode gets removed.
lol! Jimmy I agree with you here!
I am 100% behind the spirit of the proposal. The details can be worked out.
