New ladder system doesnt make any sense | Forums

[YouAteMyFries]

i doesnt see a reason to stand in legendary anymore: i cant get better season rewards because someone couldnt calculate numbers properly so there is like 1k players in legendary; i spend half of the hour to make a simple pvp-pack because 90% of matches im playing against lvl5 epics and lvl4 legendarys (and i havent been higher than 6300) or players who is playing zen cartman not to tank a dmg but abuse lag spikes when they want to, so why would i keep strugling for stupid extra 16 battle caps in a day if im availeble to derank to the ground and make pvp-packs in two easy matches

Which is exactly why players have been sandbagging both before and after the updated ladder. You have to grind tons of matches to get the wins for PvP packs and finish locker item events, most people dont have the time or energy to spend. It's the principle of least effort.

On the other hand, I would say the new system (if they hadnt cocked up the calculations, which lead to everyone ending up in the same place after the update) should at least try to motivate people to rank up. Since it should give you a broader spread with more arenas and better rewards the higher you climb, compared to simply "legendary or not legendary". As well as the option to drop out of legendary mid season, so its not a 30 day commitment. So perhaps in a week or two, players will be better distributed across the arenas, but for now its indeed a bit of a mess.

Those events like today with Shelly are tooooooo long.those events with cards boost are ok. I don’t know why they are so different in the number of matches maybe because red lynx designers are a bit chaotic and don’t see the bigger picture except the profit like underpants gnomes... they really think we like those dozens of matches .... xd
I will derank again ignore those I have all legends lvl 3 cards players and concentrate on Team war. It’s more fun and a nice idea from red lynx . Maybe only card voting I go on legend because you get a few more points.

After playing 90 minutes during the evening I have to admit something is worse than I originally thought... I am level 18 and I have faced ONE player on level 17, two or three level 18. The rest 20, 21, 22... Thats in silver, under 6000. 90% matchup against much stronger players...

Feels like they should have put this update at the start of week instead of just before a damn locker event, takes forever to get a win and once you do you get nothing or the best reward is 10 or 15 horseshoes...

its rubbish, get 50% win rate and end up on a net loss of rank every time... causing a massive bottleneck

Trying not to derank, but usually I'm finishing seasons around rank 5,000. I just hit score 6000 and everybody I play is level 21-22 with a few slightly lower ones mixed in. Way to destroy the freaking fun in this game. I've almost quit a few times, but this might be the final straw. I usually beat people that are of equal level cards or slightly higher, but now everybody I face has much higher level cards. It's amazing I have even gotten into legendary with good skilled play. screw this crap

So I got rewarded by deranking out of legendary to Rank 9. Gave me like 7 Epics for a rank 9 reward pack. WTF

You get rewards for every arena you reached check the menu with the arenas
