I've fixed the ranked points system. You're welcome.

New season, time to finally address the issue of the god awful rank system. Alright let's get to it.

Now I don't think it's completely awful, I really like the points system, start at 0, get to 100, do a series of games to move on to the next level. That's cool. What's not cool is the fact that everyone in the game is gaining and losing different amounts. It's idiotic at best. My teammates should not be gaining more or less for winning the same game. I should not be losing more or less than my teammates for losing the game. Here's a system that works far better than the seemingly random points system (I know, it's based off of a hidden elo or mmr or whatever) that's currently used.

Starting at 0 of course, your first win gives you 10 points, your second win in a row would give you 15 points for a total of 25. Third would get you 20, fourth 25, and fifth 30 for a total of 100 points. Once you reach your 100 points you start the series games, win two out of the three or three out of the five depending on where you're heading in the case of victory and you move on. Lose all of them and you go down to 50 points, win one or two respectively you go down to 75 points. Now in the case of losing it works the same way. First loss is -10 points, second in a row is -15, third -20, fourth -25, and fifth -30. To drop a tier you have to lose three in a row at 0 LP. The points progression reverts back to 10 in the event of a break in either streak. So assuming you're starting at 0 points and you win three games in a row, then lose the fourth you'd be at 35 points. If you were then to lose the next game you'd be at 20, but if you were to win it instead you'd go up to 45. If you progress or regress to a new tier or league the points reset back to the starting value of 10.

This system improves two things. 1. It's more stable and predictable. You don't have to worry about your hidden MMR dropping too low so you gain 5 points for a win and lose 25 for a loss. And 2. It stops progression by mediocrity as I like to call it. This is when you win the same amount as you lose, yet still steadily climb upwards despite the fact that you can't consistently win games at the level you're at, simply because you're gaining more points when you win than you're losing when you lose.

Whacha think?
