Ranking and Ranking XP Gain. | Forums

[RCT_Tears]

Hey all,

So far, I'm quite enjoying the structure of the tournaments, other than random dcs and people leaving causing a few problems.

But the point of this thread is to talk about the actual ranking system itself. I won 17 games out of 20 (Though I won 2 more, but since my opponents left when they were 0-2, my win didn't count towards my placement matches, which was very annoying) And I was placed in gold 5.... I thought that was quite low; thats supposed to represent the majority of players at 30% of the playerbase. Is that implying that 30% of the playerbase wins 17/20 matches?

My real gripe so far is regarding how fast it takes to advance between divisions. When I was placed in G5, I had around 55% xp to division promotion to g4. After 4 wins and 0 losses, I'd gained enough xp to be at 90%.. I then lost my first match and lost 17%!

Realistically, I was gaining around 8% xp per win and losing over double that per loss. That seems rather anti progressive. I can understand losing reducing your xp by an equal amount to what you gain in plat and above perhaps.. But to lose double what you gain in the rank thats supposed to have the majority of the playerbase in it? That seems far too harsh.

Note, the xp gains didn't seem to be relative to how many rounds I played vs my opponent. For example, winning 3-0 seemed to yield the same xp as winning 3-2. But it would be nice if the devs could clarify that.

I'll be posting a thread about my overall feedback in due time, but feel this needed to be said.

Cheers.

Thanks for the feedback! We'll definitely want to look into the "lost" victories and perhaps tweak the xp gain/loss ratios so we can find a good balance.

Same problem. I lost 20%, but I received only 5 or 9. It's not fair.
