[My opinion regarding the existing and outdated Ranking System]

@Ijwed I understand what you mean and see now that even my solution or Lundorff's wouldn't prevent players from Win Trading or throwing for the sake of it. I'm just trying to find solutions and asking around for a better idea.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the only way to get to top 3 has always been Win Trading, but this season in particular, where there aren't any legit TR games going on (because players ask around for friends to make groups against them) the only way to grind your rating now is Solo Q, for this season in particular and at the moment.

 

Now the solo queue is way too infested by these kind of players and it makes grinding nearly impossible for everyone. So the only solution for people to get to it at the moment, is by Win Trading.

 

I'm trying to make sense, sorry if I don't. English isn't my first langage.

Just look at the current SR leaderboard and give me the name of just ONE player who got there legitimately.

Even the best players I know had some kind of help from friends.

 

Well of course tr is a separate issue due to lack of participation but in terms of solo ranked there are plenty examples of Top 3 players i'm almost certain are legit.

 

As far as being impossible to climb, of course the win trading and trolls make it more difficult to climb and I would argue the state of solo ranked is so bad that you shouldn't even care at this point, but Its still possible as I did on my commando in my last stream which you can watch at https://www.twitch.tv/alim_95 .

I agree that ranked needs a change but this doesn't seem like the right way to do it.

3 man comp has second highest win rate vs composition of 4 players lol. How many times has that composition even occurred out of the thousands of games played and were the people in those games any good to even start off. Also, Deception assassin is not the second worst defensive spec in the game. Hatred assassin and lethality operatives are both weaker. Way too much info missing here for me to take this one seriously.

 

You're a bit of an idiot aren't you? Of course there was a 4th player, they didn't specify the class or spec but it doesn't really matter. Also, I referred to assassin as the second weakest class, I didn't specifically mention specs. I think we could spend some time debating whether lethality is squishier than deception but this is besides the point anyway.

 

And yes, it was a sorc healer too.

 

Just to clear up things, the combat dev just gave a few statistics in a conversation where pt survivability was being discussed so my original post may have been a little bit inaccurate, i'll edit it now.

Guard in T/H games seems justified in the way that it functions but what the dev team overlooked was that in PVP the population would dwindle and not all be T/H games thus giving DPS the abillity to use a tank only abillity in a role they didn't even q as.
