Please keep the QQ to a minimum if you do not like this update. We are happy to hear your reasoning for not liking a ranked system, but no "OMG VOLVO WHY" posts. | ||

Volvo can just use Default MMR as initial Ranked MMR without 10 qualifying games these can change a bit MMR. I dont know Valves reasons but it could be there are alot of trollgames inbetween the games. Each time i played a carry/gankerhero would be a troll game for me. It would infect my data in a way that it could i.e. stall true MMR (putting good players in bronze and maybe even bad players in masters). So, in general, if u want a good as possible mmr, these 10 games can get u where u belong faster. But the above is all speculation (and maybe a bit of truth mixed in). | ||

Actually i was content with a low rating so i could ascend the ladder. Since im only on page 10-20 right now in live matches more or less i would guess the top players have 5000+ rating. | ||

I have AP turned off and every single one of my matches so far has been max search range leading to large discrepancies in skill level between players. I am not complaining that my team is worse or anything, the other team obviously has an equally large range of skill in their players so most games come down to hoping that the lowest skilled player on your team doesn't go mid against the highest skilled player on the opposite team. Honestly I had more fun just matchmaking (very high bracket) before Ranked was a thing. The search time was faster and the players within the teams were closer in skill level. The smaller number of variable you pick, the longer the queue takes. For instance if ur only searching CM and CD on USE, you will take way longer on average than most because most of the ranked players atm are just playing AP to get their 10 games done as fast as possible. Once the system has been in a while, more and more will move to CM and CD and ur queue times will shorten somewhat. If you add more servers or more mode options, ur queue will go down but you will be playing a lot of AP ;p I've actually found that queuing all 3 i get roughly 1/3 of each game type, which isn't so bad and exactly what you would hope for statistically ;p | ||

But i'm just waiting to see what my tam pick to round out the team now, which seems to be the best thing. I'm not try harding, just being intelligent, now that it actually matter a little whether i win or lose and whether my team perform well | ||

Sure I wouldn't be surprised if they fucked around. Most pros do just fuck around half the time on ladder because they can pull it off. A serious tournament with money and reputation on the line? Nah they'd probably pick mostly serious but we can clearly see even there that some teams decide "we want to just have some fun this game". | ||

At the same time the ranked matchmaking ladder is now the most competitive mode accessible to the average player, so I'm not surprised if people go into there with the intent to pull out TI4 winning compositions and what not. | ||

Oh I'm sure there's a good % that will take ladder more seriously than normal unranked, but my point was its rather common even in "serious ladder mode" to find people good enough they want to try something weird or new that might interest them. It even happens in pro tournaments with huge money on the line, I'm sure it would happen in a free realm. | ||
