He makes a few valid points but Matchmaking IS and WILL BE the cause of the player exodus. No one likes to lose. Bad matchmaking causes you to lose. I prefer DotA's forced 50% than this shit where you can only lose because you are grade 10 and always get paired vs rank 13.

It's not the first time it's been done. Some people look at the hard numbers provided, and that colors their perception of the patch overall. By keeping it vague, the idea is to get into the game and see for yourself what has changed so that you can more organically process the differences.

>>161642081
As mentioned in the past, the Discord testers are tantamount to abusive husbands: they beat and abuse the devs because they love the game and want it to succeed. SLS decided to break off the relationship and start fresh.

That would only work if game didn't have any numbers in it at all.
Completely stupid on their part.

i hate stunlock more and more every time they do something new. this is one of THE shittiest ways to treat your community. who gives a FUCK about expectations? people are gonna list the exact changes anyway and THEN they're gonna make their expectations/reactions. all this does is add an extra step for some players to find the changes themselves and them document them. nothing is different.

>>161635965
>>161639652
again there's seriously no fix for this. there's not enough players in each server-region to keep the matches balanced skill-wise, especially when they're spread across unranked 2v2 + 3v3 and ranked 2v2 + 3v3. even NOW at 9k current players, that's still 9k (unevenly) split across 15 servers, with 4 seperate queues EACH. it's just not possible by any means.
>>
>>161639425
Hi daniel
>>
>>161647586
>nothing is different.
It is, though. The casuals will just read stuff and actually think that it got changed. They probably wont even realize that RKs SB had its cooldown increased by only 1 second. The committed player find out about this shit because they need the numbers to assess situations, 95% of the community doesnt. Its a shit move but make sense when all you want to do is fool people, which is clearly what SLS is going for with Battlerite.

Varesh is fun to play as long as you're playing against g9-g10 shitters because you can truly shred them apart the amount of damage he does when left un checked is insane. Then when you get people who know at all what the fuck they are doing and get Bakko'ed it's not fun anymore

What are even the SLS arguments for promoting 2v2 over 3v3?
>>
>>161656653
2v2 queue is dying
3v3 queue is dead
>>
>>161656653
they are not promoting anything, that's the thing. And since they said, that you can Q both for 2v2 and 3v3 in next patch, they will keep both of the mode in ranked
fucking retards i swear
>>
>>161656653
they thought 3v3 was too hard for leaguebabies and want this game to be babyzone

>>161656754
they've said repeatedly that they intended this game to be 2v2 focused, they've only started to be silent and wishy-washy after they got massive backlash from people telling them they were retarded for trying to focus on 2v2
>>
>>161656754
>3v3 is off by default
>they are not promoting anything

I mean, that clearly shows something.
>>
>>161656653
it was more popular in BLC, and it's easier to find 1 friend to play with than it is to find 2 friends (or, easier to match 4 people instead of 6)

the issue is it was more popular in BLC BECAUSE it was easier to find 1 friend instead of 2, and the only reason it was easier to find 1 friend instead of 2 is because the game had such a low playerbase
>>
I made the switch to 3v3 and this is way more fun
>>
>>161657010
t. retard who never played blc
the automated ingame 2v2 tournaments were more popular than the 3v3 ones late in the game's lifespan

blc was only ever balanced around 3v3 even when it was dying, and 2v2 players + their balance complaints were completely ignored at all times, you couldn't even queue for 2v2 ranked as a solo player and when the population started to drop 2v2 ranked was removed entirely

http://steamcharts.com/app/504370

The numbers have been surging back, they haven't been this high since EA's release.

The problem is that they'll probably sink back down to 2k once this is over
>>
>>161657370
you said 2v2 was more popular which is completely false

the automated tournaments were not even particularly popular until the game was nearly dead and it was the only way people could get decent games, the vast majority of people who only had 1 friend would just duoqueue 3v3 ranked
>>
>>161657379
and with all the f2ps (and EA fuckers STILL) complaining about matchmaking, they're not going to come back until SLS makes a "WE FIXED MATCHMAKING.. AGAIN" post. then they're gonna play, see that they still get shitty teammates and still lose, and then quit
>>
>>161657651
I don't understand why people like that are even playing multiplayer games. If you can't handle losing and needing to improve your play why would you pick a competitive multiplayer game to play?

A win is a win. 3-2 has no business giving less than 3-0 if the team's are equally balanced.

You're probably used to systems that meaninglessly inflate your rating. If you can't take satisfaction in your play just stop playing multiplayer games, there are tons of single player games that will spout out meaningless increasing numbers at you.

Fair enough. I just though a lot of "pros" liked 2s more. Also when comparing 2s queue to 3s queue, you'll notice the difference.

They should just multiply point gain by 100 and add a billion ranks. then the casuals could pretend theyre hella good cause they rank up 3 times a round.

nobody likes 2s
everyone is playing 2s because the player pool at high grades is tiny, and it will be easier to find 4 people that 6

The only "pros" that like 2v2 more are superautists who were dumb enough to play 2v2 in BLC where it was an imbalanced shitpile. They also only like 2v2 because they win, not because they enjoy anything specific about it. Everyone who puts time into 3v3 likes it more.

No, it's pretty much just that. If you're new and get a good player on your team, while the other team is also brand new, you'll just get to run them over.

If you don't give a shit about your rank, you're honestly better jumping straight into there, because the matchmaking is "better".

I'm rated somewhere around #250 globally and every single standard game I play is against new players. There's occasionally someone that's not brand new there, but every match is like that right now.

Dumb suggestion. If hes new then ranked is actually more likely to give him good matches, especially since he wont improve enough in such a short time to complain about I CANT CLIMB RANKS WAAH WAAH. Standard will be one or more g14 players in his match and hell get 1v3ed.

for new player it's stressful to go right into ranked without any basic knowledge about the game unless you are masochist who likes to lose and get flamed constantly
>>
>>161729668
>it's stressful to go right into ranked
Not everybody is as insecure as you are, Anon. To most people there is no difference between Standard and Ranked because they dont give a shit about score. Even at top level thats the case. There are plenty people who dont value MMR at all and solo queue ranked instead of standard because standard only gives them shit matches. Most people I know would instantly start ranked in any game if they were allowed to, but if you care about MMR then sure you should get to mechanics in standard first. No fucking bot matches, though.
>>

> To most people there is no difference

>>
>>161730073
>no frustration, nothing
>everyone is a fucking robot
The question is: Why would you be more frustrated over losing some irrelevant number that is SUPPOSED to judge your ability than losing itself? Your goal should be to improve as a player, not chase shitty rating. If you improve as a player you will AUTOMATICALLY gain rating and find better matches as a result. MMR is worthless, its the players ability to play the game that matters. People are way too concerned with shitty rating nowadays. There are plenty of top level players who are g12/13 because they never bother to give a shit about MMR and thats the right way to approach a title like this. If you get more frustrated by losing rating than you are by your own inability to perform then youre playing competitive games for the wrong reason, or simply arent a competitive person to begin with. So if ranked is more likely to give you better matches (which is my experience it is, then again I also have multiple g14 accounts so the amount of people who I enjoy playing against is pretty slim) then thats what you should queue, MMR or not.

They basically dismissed all the testers and wiped the group. There wont be anymore "testing" that isnt done by SLS (which basically means that there wont be any competent testing at all).

>>
>>161773551
So you base your "experience" on what exactly? Best guess?
>>
>>161773634
Analysis of the characters and their mechanics. 2v2 is almost entirely a mechanics game so you can get a pretty good idea just by charting out ability interactions and character capabilities.

3v3 is a lot more complicated and I won't even offer guesses on most characters' performance in 3v3 because there are exponentially more variables and scenerios, the only real opinion I have about characters in 3v3 is that Rook and Varesh are on the weak side.

i think its best right now if match making stays as fast as it is. this game has a tiny few thousand playing it compared to other big esports numbers. so shut the fuck up and just enjoy this gem of a competitive fighting game you faggots.
>>
>>161773831
Show me the document, because I doubt that you have a list of 153 character combinations, and thats not even considering setups which play into balancing discussion. If you for example knew what the hell you were talking about you'd realize that Poloma and Varesh are still A tier when played on a team. It doesnt even really matter what you add to that in a 3s environment and it still remains strong.
>>
>>161773831
t. g9
>>
>>161774549
Varesh/Poloma is far too weak to CC and burst and has too poor of orb control to be A tier in 2v2.

Varesh is only strong if he can sit back and take optimal trades at his own pace, which is something that it's extremely easy to force him out of doing once you add more damage and burst into the mix. If Varesh had a little more mobility and was slightly better at fighting multiple targets he'd be far better, but as-is it's too easy to collapse on him and prevent him from doing anything.
>>
>>161775193
>too poor of orb control
Almost fell off my chair.
>>
>>161775876
Can you explain why you think it's strong? Neither character can take down orb reliably on their own if they get CC'd and their best combo to kill the orb leaves a health gap for someone to steal it, only Varesh can significantly shift orb position and he needs to spend meter to do it.

How is 500k sales of an early access game that has been confirmed to be F2P in early 2017 before any copies were sold shit sales? They made all their investment money back and a decent profit ontop of it, and that doesn't count any cosmetic or DLC sales.
>>
>>161783320
this makes no sense as to why it is not selling. If they never played they'd never know this.

I like the game, don't think its anything amazing, but I think it has an appeal a lot of gamers like. I'm just confused why its not selling as well as Subnautica for example

that means literally nothing. cs:go, overwatch, tf2, cod, etc are all the same exact thing. they offer nothing once you've learned the mechanics and characters/guns.

what really keeps people playing is the potential to get better and improve. battlerite's problem is that the skill ceiling is pretty low, even when you have a consistent team of 3. there's no deep or advanced mechanics, there's no grand strategy, and the characters are all homogenous as fuck.

If the skill ceiling is so low why do the "pros" miss constantly and pick compositions that get them fucked and make constant mistakes

Yeah, I am gonna complain about matchmaking, ESPECIALLY in a free weekend in a game which is entirely based around competitive multiplayer. You simply can't have a game which has these core features and is missing any kind of metric which determines how to pair up opposing players. Every single other moba or whatever i've played has this simple core feature which makes the game have some semblance of fairness. But fine, keep spouting git gud or greentext about the no1 point of discussion surrounding this game, I'm sure it will provide you solace when you find the game has an active playerbase of 40 people in 6 months.

no, you're right, league is perfectly balanced and all its pro's are paragons of gaming, its not like 90% of the champs are competitvely unviable or anything right?
and it's not like 90% of the pro players play about as well as bronze 5's but with the significant advantage of someone picking their teamcomps for them and them always having a shot caller telling them what to do.

As much as I hate League that's a pretty disingenuous and stupid thing to say. Part of being good at something is knowing when and how to optimize your options. You aren't good because you can win with shit characters, you're good because you can get consistently positive results regardless of which character you choose.
>>
Are EX abilities supposed to be improvement of the main ability or just some extra ability that's too good to not cost energy?
>>
>>161824556
>you're good because you can get consistently positive results regardless of which character you choose.
most lol pro's can't do that. period. rob them of whatever broken shit they're spamming and they keel over and die.
my point is that most successfull pro's are only as good as the champs they're playing, with a handfull of exceptions
>>
>>161824886
It's more of an alternative ability that is better than the default in certain situations, but not all. It's powerful enough in those spots that it costs the energy, but this doesn't hold true across every champ. Pretty sure that's the design process behind it, though.

>>161828882
They need to add legendary outifts already. BLC had a ton of great outfits for characters, genderbent outfits, armored outfits etc. Right now they are just shitty reskins so getting something from a gold chest, unless its a legendary weapon or mount feels bad. And the droprate for legendaries feels really terrible, so usually you just get some worthless shit or dublicates.
>>
>>161829308
Maybe. Not immediately though, I'm tired and am trying to unfuck my sleep schedule for work.
>>
>>161829409
This! I hope the next patch introduces some legendary skins.
>>
>>161828465
if the next champs + balance changes are shit, i give up anyway. there's no possible way the new secret group will ever call them out on shitty changes or character design, and that's what the previous tester group saved the game from multiple times in the past.

bakko used to have infinite charges on m2 with a round 1 battlerite at the same pre-nerf cooldown before the entire discord bitched about it. now imagine that going forward stunlock does this same kind of ridiculous shit except none of their new testers say anything about it, so that kind of insane change goes direct to client.

The saddest thing is that avatars could have at least had some value if they'd gone about it the right way. Unique avatars only earned via tournament placements, mastery of a champion (not based on games played, but some positive metric in ranked), make them extremely uncommon out of chests but have each one be very high quality, something. They'd still be relatively low value, but they'd at least have some merit.

That would require SLS to not fill up chests with literal garbage, meaning you get your skinnerbox fix quicker, so they'd never do it.

Started playing in the free weekend, this game is surprisingly fun, it's a shame that there is practically no community for it.
I've got a couple questions:
Jade and Sirius seem really OP. Is this just because I'm bad, or is that the current meta? If it is the meta, have they always been like that, or do balance changes happen often enough to mix it up?
If I am just bad, what is good counterplay for Jade and Sirius, I main Pearl.

the balance is unironically horrible, always has been and will continue to be because SLS is fucking incompetant
>>
>>161847473
>Jade and Sirius seem really OP
Jade is easy to build up energy with and is basically every noobs go to champ.
Sirius isn't really OP. Barely any "pro" players pick him in tournaments. He might be a noob stomper though.
There isn't really a meta in the game. SLS tries to even out every champ balancewise, which is gonna be difficult with the battlerite system. Sure you can argue some champs are stronger than others, but it's all depending on individual skill in the end.
>Balance changes
One of SLS' flaws. They rarely do balancing, and when they do, it's not even good changes. The latest patch, Jumong got a nerf to some abilities, and buff to others, making him overall stronger, which was a mistake. Hopefully that'll change later.
>Counterplay
As Pearl you might wanna save your Q for Jade's Snipe or Sirius' charged m1. You'll block a fuckton of damage like that. Also if you haven't realised already, Pearl's E is a good way to keep any ranged from attacking their target. It can also be used to widen the gap between you and a melee enemy, by placing it between the two of you.
You might be able to find some pearl indepth guides. That'll be easier than me writing all this shit.
Otherwise, any counter/shield is good for Jade's Snipe. Especially in low rating where people have yet to learn to cancel abilities.
>>
>>161847473

Jade and Sirius are fine, except maybe for jades EX Q.

Counter play against sirius is easy, just don't hit HIS counter. If you're playing Pearl and your dumbass teammate gets petrified you can bubble shield him to cleanse.

No idea whats going wrong against jade considering Pearl's bubble just kind of shits on her. Enjoy the free orbs.
>>
>>161847473
sirius and jade are strong in 2v2, but not OP at all. balance changes once or twice a month.

not really a pearl player, but.
vs Jade: save counter for when Snipe is in mid-air coming towards you, or if she's on top of you and you really need to avoid the damage. use bubble also to block mid-air Snipes, and around the time Jade has ulti, save bubble until you hear her ulti line and throw it immediately infront of her. make sure you take the round 2 battlerite which spawns a lesser bubble around you when your counter is hit.

vs Sirius: same kind of thing, save counter and bubble for when Sirius jumps on top of you. generally counter first, then line up your shot to silence him. if he keeps coming towards you, use bubble on yourself or between you to push him away. put shield on anyone that Sirius jumps at. obivously try not to hit his counter.

general advice would be to save your ulti until an enemy has used their escapes, or use it on someone who is stunned/incapped. don't be afraid to use your EX-M1 for the weapon charge, it's underrated at lower ranks since people value ulti too much and miss their shots too often for the silence to matter. EX-bubble is okay but use it more often around sudden death instead of spending the energy during the round.
>>
>>161848750
>>161848959
>>161849954

I understand to use the bubbles to counter jade's shots, but she's so maneuverable she can easily get around a bubble to shoot you again. So you have to use a bubble while she's charging a shot. The only abilities she charges are snipe and her ult, and both have a pretty short wind up. The window to bubble her is short.
>>
i wish 2v2 was not real so that i would not have to wait so long in queue for a 3v3
>>
What do you guys think of Varesh? The only way I can win with him is when I'm playing against new players.

>>161847473
Remember that your charged M1 can cancel both of their ultimates, it can also cancel Jade's snipe if you dont have anything.
>>
>>161851359
If she's dumb enough to use her space to get around the bubble, just nuke her down. Once she uses her Q, she's got nothing left to keep herself alive.

So are they actually going to match a game of 4-6 solos, or are you going to be a solo player going up against stacks?

If it's the latter, then duo/trioQ MMR is even more fucking worthless than it already is
>>
>>161945525
yes, solos in soloq
each team will have their separate MMR based on how you perform as a team
>>
what do you guys wanna see in the upcoming patches? i know it's early on in development but there are a few nuances that would help with the quality of the game

>Bigger indicator when matchmaking
Just a small thing, my friend didn't know that we were matchmaking. A little rotating icon below your character isn't that eye-catching of an indicator.

>Small puff of smoke when turning invisible/getting out of invisibility
Just an aesthetic change.

>2 aesthetic slots Sorta like DOTA's customization system.
The weapon slot wouldn't have to change, but if the "skin" aesthetic slot was split up into 2 (ie. Pauldron and Legs for Sirius, Coat and Hair/Mask for Jade), it would be really neat to mix and match.

you can't put that genie back in the bottle
too many people like 2v2 only and won't play 3v3
maybe at the f2p launch you could try it, but you'd have a pretty bad backlash from a large part of the playerbase that doesn't do 3s and wants that mode to stay, which happens to be the casual players more often than not
if they wanted that to be a thing or 2v2 to be a casual "fun" mode it needed to not exist right off the bat in alpha/beta
>>
>>161957027

The more i wait for the patch the less excited i am about it.
They won't pick main ranked mode. The won't even separate 2v2 rank and 3v3 so 3v3 will be dead again. All top players are gonna play in premades again stomping everyone.
What even the point? Shiny new divisions and ranks?
It doesn't adress anything what's wrong with MM right now.

>how known they are

So, popularity contest. I rarely ever talk in games because I have nothing to say and will likely never become known because they're rarely ever playing ranked in the first place.

I'm just a random G13 to them, and I guess you, given how you type. I'm not going to ride the coattails of some 'known' player just to get quality games, but since everyone decent has closed themselves off to the rest of the playerbase, it seems like that or bust.
>>
>>162000528
>popularity contest
You dont need to be popular to be known, otherwise people like 213 wouldnt be in it.

>never become known
You mostly become known through performing in tournaments or on the ladder, not through talking.

>I'm just a random G13 to them
You most likely are. The only people who are g13 who would ever get invited are the ones who place high in tournaments or are known players from BLC times. Or had someone vouch for them.

>but since everyone decent has closed themselves off
That simply isnt true, but I dont see why you'd expect us to do tryouts with random g13 players who might only be g13 becuase of exploiting fotm. The community is rather closeknit, and we want to have fun in inhouses with able players. CBA testing people unless someone knows that the person is good.
>>
>>162000770
closing yourselves off is the fastest way to make the game die so I better never see any of you complaining about anything
>>
>>162000934
Its not our job to notice you, its yours to make us. We are open to knew players, but we sure as hell wont constantly look for people who have potential.
>>
>>162001215
If your criteria is does well in tournaments then that person will usually already know people since you can't join tournaments solo

If your criteria is does well in ranked none of you even play ranked so you won't find anybody there either

If you collectively don't want to get involved that's your decision, but all of you will be to blame when nobody gets interested in the game
>>
>>162000770
The entire post is exactly that, higher end players closing themselves off to the rest of the community. Tryouts? You've designed a place where only people deemed worthy are ever going to be able to play, and that assumes they even find out it exists in the first place. Most of them will just wonder why it's impossible to find a game that means anything once they hit a bit past G12 and slowly fade out.

Do you really think it's beneficial to the health of the game that you've become the arbiters of who gets to play a game worth anything and who doesn't? I could sit here and tell you I got to G13 on both accounts as Oldur, once pre and once post buff, but it wouldn't matter, because despite sitting around 4400 on both accounts and playing "known" players consistently there was no invitation extended, nothing offered. There never will be. Vouching system? How can you say that in the same post that you claim popularity doesn't exist?
>>
>>162001526
>and that assumes they even find out it exists
Thats not the case. They specifically PM people and ask them if they want to join.

>Most of them will just wonder why it's impossible to find a game
Blame SLS for making solo queue 2s a thing.

>who gets to play a game worth anything and who doesn't
Its not like we do this by choice. Its just something that automatically developed due 3s queue being dead because the community was driven towards 2s. We dont approve of 2s so we had to find different ways to have fun with the game.

>Vouching system?
Thats only a thing if the player is literally g12 or something. Otherwise vouching isnt required. Zab for example is in because people know that hes competent and he performs in tournament and hes like BARELY g13, his grade doesnt matter.

>>162001474
>does well in tournaments then that person will usually already know people since you can't join tournaments solo
Wrong. Blankkz, 213, Averse etc literally all unknown players who performed in 2s knowing virtually no one. They earned respect throughout the entire community by simply being good. They found someone to play with even though being alone.

>does well in ranked none of you even play ranked
We still do, just not that often anymore right now. But plenty of people still do on alts.
>>
>>162002993
So now you're telling me to grind 2v2 for thousands of games so you and your friends won't write me off as getting lucky when I outplay you in standard, and then suck up to popular people enough where I might get invites to secret games where I hope these same people who intentionally closed themselves off will be "impressed" enough with a few games to regularly invite me back over all the secret regulars they already invite

It's insane to me that all of you wonder why competitive play isn't doing very well
>>
>>162003401
Provide a better system that also guarantees us to have fun playing the game and I'll listen. All I hear is that what we do it wrong but no solution to the problem. By the way, its also common for people to get invited just because they got invited into a single inhouse. The server has been up for like 4 days and we are already like 70 people, that really doesnt sound like we are closing ourselves off.

>when I outplay you in standard
This might be the biggest problem: You think that youre better than you actually are.
>>
>>162004117
No, all of you think you're better than you actually are because you're all ducking out of ranked and then wondering why your play is stagnating

Do you realize how fucking crazy you sound? You didn't like how 3v3 ranked queues were so all of you collectively stopped playing ranked to make a secret inhouse society so all of you could play 3v3 unranked games oh but you're bad for beating us in the unranked mode (which is all we play and the only place you can sometimes face us when we aren't doing secret inhouses)

I don't have time to grind myself to G14 on 2v2 games on low grade players, especially since all of you stopped playing ranked entirely or only do 4500+ duos, and I'm sure as hell not going to grind a bunch of 2v2 just to maybe beg you to actually get decent 3v3 games

I'm mostly over it at this point though, this game is most of the way into the grave and watching all of you cluelessly wonder why and insist all of you are already capped out on the game is funny
>>
>>162004924
>so all of you collectively stopped playing ranked
We stopped playing ranked because theres no point in queueing. We even coordinated times at which we'd all queue and the MM still threw us against 3 g12s. Thats neither fun for them nor for us, its a waste of time. We are not going through countless hours of shit just to have 1 fun match per hour when we can have banter and fun for 10 hours straight at 4am on a week day.

>I don't have time to grind myself to G14 on 2v2
So find someone to play with and play tournies. Why are you under the impression that its our job to invest time into test playing you to see whether or not youre good?

>this game is most of the way into the grave
We all know, but its us who will leave first. Most arent even playing anymore. The only thing they launch the game for are teh in houses. They didnt quit ranked because of them, if it wasnt for them they wouldnt even be playing the game anymore.
>>
>>162005534
Yes, brilliant, let me beg all the high ranked 2v2 players to enter a bunch of tournaments with me in a game mode I don't want to play so that I can maybe sometimes play the game mode I want to play in a few months if all of you are still even playing

I really don't know how I can simplify this concept any further for you though, if you continue to insulate yourselves the pool of people you consider "worth playing with" is going to shrink, not grow. You complain about playing v. G12 and lower players but if you are actually better than them then playing them is how they improve and how the pool of people you actually want to play with increases.

As you've said multiple times, it's definitely your right to make some secret insular community and I'm sure you're all loving it in the short term. Make no mistake though, what you're doing IS what is killing the top bracket, not people claiming to be burnt out and that they've mastered the game in 3 months who are sitting on their rating

What exactly is the appeal to this game? It feels like by stripping the "grind" from a moba and just having team fights, you also end up removing any randomness and variables from the game. You know exactly what to expect other than the battlerite players will pick, and even that is probably predictable for good players.

So where's the lasting appeal?

autism spreadsheet conductor doesn't want the points to go down

points have to go UP

Even though i'm fully aware they don't really mean that much. >>162077554 isn't wrong, if you're say G14 and consistently run into 11s, it's such a stomp there is little point in the match other than practice for the 11s. That's fine every so often, but that's currently not the case, though it's due in large part to the top end players secluding themselves in sekrit inhouses.
>>
>>162083701
i feel like people seem to forget this is the case in all pvp games. it's getting matched with/against players below (or much higher) than your rank is unusual at all. in dota it's actually pretty common for people in the same match to be within ~1k MMR of each other. and at the highest level pubs you can even have a 4-5k MMR difference between the highest and lowest players.

it's just something you have to deal with and there won't ever be a perfect MM solution or an ideal amount of players to fix it, especially if you're higher ranked. like masterbattlerite lists roughly 183 people g14 and above, which isn't taking into account people who had stopped playing, or don't belong in that grade, or people who haven't been profiled on the website, etc. g13 stops at 4,192 MMR #500, so being generous there's maybe ~800 people g13 and above, again being subject to those same aforementioned constraints? then they're not all the same region, they don't all play at the same time, they don't queue the same mode or ranked. it really shouldn't ever be a surprise that they're matched against lower ranked players simply because there just aren't enough high ranked players on at any given time.

then ofc you have people circle-jerking themselves in in-houses and further lower the high end pool of players.
>>
>>162083701
>points have to go UP
But thats wrong. The score represents your ability to play the game. If you dont improve, points shouldnt go up. In theory a person should improve with time but many simply never do.
>>
>>162083701
I mean people should be matched upwards because playing better people is how they improve, but if the system makes it hard for someone smashing people to fight better players more quickly there are issues

People whining about playing worse players can get fucked, people saying they win far too much to not be seeing better players have a legitimate complaint
>>
>>162090749
>people should be matched upwards
You realize in what way that statement is flawed, right?
>>
>>162091126
There's a range around a rating it shouldn't hesitate to match people in upwards or downwards

The people at the top will whine about being matched down and people at the bottom whine about being matched up while both are good for the game

I'm fully aware that's not the point of a ranking system, nor do I want points just for time invested. I'm telling you the dislike I have over imaginary numbers going down in a half-serious half-joking way. Anything past that is just overanalzying an obvious joke/autism post.

>>162090749
There gets to be a point where if, with an asspull of numbers, 90% of your games are against players much worse than you are a stomp, you're going to lose interest. I understand the logistics of the number of high end players spread across every server and playing at the same time of day - there's shit I'll fault SLS over, that's not one of them. Though splitting between queues is another matter.

But the point stands that it gets absolutely tedious to do that day in and day out. I play upwards of 30 matches, in ranked, sitting at the border of G13/G14, every single day. Out of those dozens of games, usually played during prime time, I get maybe two quality matches. It is VERY hard to want to keep playing past that point. Is there still a bunch of ways I could improve? Sure. Have I hit the "skill cap" of the game? Definitely not. But in the same way players don't want to play against AI all day because it's an obvious stomp, I don't want to play against players much weaker than I am all day. I learn very little and am not challenged, and when the games feel so lopsided, enthusiasm wanes.

If even 30% of my games were "even" matches, I wouldn't complain. I fully understand that the way G11s improve is to play against people like me, I just don't want it to be the only thing I ever get to play against. I'm not even advocating a solution, because I don't think the ones that exist SLS has incentives to do, just expressing why this is a problem.

>though it's due in large part to the top end players secluding themselves in sekrit inhouses

Yep that's the real problem at the high end. People sit on their ratings and either smurf on alts(Teldo) or play in exclusive "inhouses". Rating decay needs to become a thing in order to keep people in the ranked queue.

hi daniel
>>
>>162104568
Daily quests fill in on their own every 24 hours. You have to wait for them to fill in.
>>
>>162104334
2v2 is entirely about aiming and picks, picks in 2v2 are entirely about how well you trade 1v1 and how good you are at taking orb, fights are mostly 1v1 with occasional target trades or crossfire and ability use is mostly linear and reactionary, positioning is just focused on whether you're inside or outside the range of the person you're fighting and close to orb

3v3 is exponentially more complicated because someone who gets out of position or mistimes something can get burst down by 2 or 3 people very quickly, so 3v3 is a game of everyone trying to bait enemy positioning and cooldowns while supporting their allies trying to do the same thing, positioning becomes more of a front line/back line with different picks trying to stay and fight at different ranges while trying to force enemies out of position without exposing your allies to attack

Can any BLC fags tell me, why previous game more lasting appeal?
>>
>>162111926
More diversification in terms of abilities (Ruh Kaan has a space ability similar to Ezmo and Jumong, in blc harbinger (RK) went into the fucking ground and came up again)
BLC was harder to play, you could miss melee attacks. Most projectiles were small, in Battlerite some are huge, such as Jade's snipe, Ezmo m2, RK Shadowbolt.
In Blc you moved faster, hit faster, got punished faster.
>>
>>162114454
so if they make the the game faster and add more variety in BRites BLCfags will stop dropping the game?
>>
>>162115247
Nah, BLC also had less unreliable mechanics, less bugs, more characters, more cosmetics, more incentive to play (ingame tournament)
>>
>>162114454
RK still has that, they just made it slower and moved it to R. except it blows that it costs energy and is an unnecessary nerf, and all they did in exchange was give him a shitty 2 inch dash.
it's all the other things like removing his immaterial+lifesteal for the same shitty consume shield that oldur and ezmo have, and removing his plague and AOE silence in favor of giving him a shitty mini-shifu ult as an EX on the shitty dash.

now extend that same awful dumbing down process to every character except taya/nomad and you are left with battlerite.
>>
>>162115247
>>162115924
Also forgot that blc had general chat, guild chat, ingame matchmaking ladders, ingame stats for each character and profile. A less clunky gui, and you returned to lobbies after a private game.
>>162116170
Are you saying RK is bad? (He isn't)
His R isn't really the same as Harbingers space. Both in terms of look and how it felt to use. It wasn't instant, so you could get punished for using it too slow. But yeah, his immaterial was nice, his aoe silence was nice. I was just giving some examples as to how the characters had become more homogeneous. Those changes obviously also make the same point.
>>
>>162115924
basically BLC was more complete game than BR
it's not even about mechanics and shit
>>
>>162114454
>add more variety in BRites
This is all I ask to tell you the truth, Brs should change how the champions plays, that doesn't happen with most of them in basically any champion.
>>
>>162117015
no i'm not saying he's bad at all, he's just boring compared to what he was and could have been

shitty as in "wow does this ability look and feel like the one # other characters have"
the feeling i'll get looking at the new character in a week :^) if they're lucky the preview trailer doesn't tell me first
>>
>>162118915
Ah okay. Yes he's boring. Harbinger was a monster, pure joy to play. Most fun I've had with a single character in a game ever. I'll never understand why they decided to change him into what RK is now. Why not just keep the working concept as is?
>>
>>162119281
since everyone else got streamlined into more basic playstyles keeping a character as is would mean theyre op as shit

wow, thanks SLS, i'm sure you need to prolong ranked update for 1 more month

No wonder SLS cleansed the old test server. These people are so fucking toxic its unreal.

ugh god can you stop being so toxic please???

>less than a week for massive disappointment

>>162124293
If you'd see what these people are typing on the new in house server you'd understand what I am talking about. Some of them are in their late 20s and they talk like they are some edgy 15 year old Trump voters. Incredibly intolerant people, even Daniel appears tolerant compared to some of them. I actually expected Europe to be a more developed place than this.
>>
>>162124521
>If you'd see what these people are typing on the new in house server
Did SLS fuck up again by inviting mongs?
>>
>>162125080
That's the server that they made themselves. The new SLS council has like 20 people and gets nothing done because no one tests.
>>
>>161639425
>Daniel's back

praise kek

>>162125424
>and gets nothing done because no one tests.
good, maybe they at least gonna play their game for once
>>
>still no RK nerfs
can they do anything right

Ruh Kaan is love, anon.

post champion ideas.

people who demands new champions instead of BRites rework should be gassed

>>162128654
A melee guy with a quarter staff.

M1: wide sweeping attack, deals 9 damage, builds a weapon charge.
M2: 6s cooldown AoE attack. deals 14 damage + 2 per charge. At full charges it does a 0.7s stun.
Space: A pole vault. He uses his staff to jump to a location, then gets a speed boost when he lands. invulnerable during the jump
Q: he spins his staff and deflects all attacks in front of him. if a projectile hits his spinning staff, it is redirected towards his cursor
E: he jumps in the air, then does a divekick to his cursor. invulnerable during jump, divekick inflicts 2.5s fading snare.
R: He kicks in front of him and knocks enemies back. If they hit a wall, they take some bonus damage and get incap'd.
F: he raises his staff, then slams it down. the staff telescopes out, covering a big range. does 35 damage to everything it hits and stuns for 2s

EX M1: three fast jabs that deal 5 damage each, each jab builds a charge
EX E: he jumps in the air, then does a honda buttslam. inflicts an AoE 2.5s incap. invulnerable during jump

>>162129472
this character feels a little recycled
>>
>>162129669
He's my original character. His name is Xian Kung. I didn't recycle any concepts. All of these abilities are all my original creations.

mushroom mage

M1: projectile. allies hit will be healed for a small amount.
M2: lays down a small AOE that heals allies that stay in it.
Space: spawns a mushrom underneath you that knocks enemies away and sends you to a target location. deals a small amount of damage on knockback.
Q: places a shield on you or your allies that lasts for a medium amount of time. whoever the shield is on heals 4 health every time you land an auto.
E: lobs an AOE silence. high cooldown.
R: roots everyone in an area around you, and also does some damage
F: after a brief delay, creates an AOE around you that grants allies a shield and slowly damages enemies caught in it

EX Q: places a shield on you and an ally. you both heal a portion of the damage you both do.
EX Space: spawns a mushroom at a target location, knocking whoever walks into it towards you.
>>
>>162130673
one of his battelrites gotta make it so that one of his abilities drops a healing mushroom, like Pearl's fish. except if an enemy walks on it, it damages them, because the mushroom mage uses their mushroom magic to turn it into a poisonous mushroom if an enemy tries to eat it.

Which characters are in need for buffs right?
>>
>>162131358
lucie
>>
>>162131358
they need to rework almost every brite and maybe the whole system
it's just stupid, it doesn't work in hots and it doesn't work here
>>
>>162131589
some of the Brites are just really underwhelming. a majority of them should really augment how you play the champ.
>>
>>162131791
i already said that before
The main problem is how balancing works
you not only need to balance brites in 1 round so you can have 3 viable choices instead of 1
you need to balance every round between champions so some of them won't be OP that other in 1-2-3-4-5 round
>>
>>162132130
Which is why I think Brites should be decided all in one go instead of picking them between rounds.
>>
>>162132130
Or just give them packages of rites that can't be overly abused.

The more you empower rites, the more imbalance you're going to see early, and the less complete heroes are going to feel without them. It feels shit to play certain heroes in round 1, and it doesn't need to be that way, but the more we take good battlerites and distribute them, the bigger problems we're going to have with champs that only come into their own in round 2/3/4.
>>
>>162133215
yes, thats the only way this system can work well.
Right now every brite is a babystep because they just afraid of breaking the balance completely between rounds

fuck you too
>>
>>162133434
Yeah, The current system doesn't feel satisfactory at all, I understand they wanted players to feel some sort of progression mid-rounds, but what we have now makes balance way harder than it needs to be and it doesn't fulfill its job.
>>
>>162136067
they literally copied it from hots
which is a shit game
fucking idiots
>>
just delete the entire battlerite concept

>>162136857

Either delete battlerites and up the overall impact of each champ or give packaged rites that can be tweaked within a group so you're not min-maxing every single choice

Also get rid of rating being affected by how many rounds you won and just give full win/loss points if you won the match. It feels too shit to win 3-2, what should feel like a great victory, because you know you lost two rounds and the game took away rating as a result.

It would make shit swingier, but that's better than making it even more grind heavy. It would probably get rid of at least some of the problems of players feeling like they win all goddamn day and have nothing to show for it.
>>
>>162136857

I wouldn't have a problem with the Brites system if done right since it could chance the playstyle of champions, the main problem with that plan is that doing it right is extremely difficult.

If they don't buff Varesh at all next patch the game is doomed to fail.

Mark my words.

Damn, we actually need a new thread.

Someone that's not me should creat it.
