TRACK THE NEW STANDINGS OVER ON THE LADDER HEROES WEBSITE SINCE YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO USE GRANDMASTER IN GAME TO SEE THE STANDINGS! http://www.ladderhero.es This change is effective immediately and will affect all of September Ladder Heroes for both NA and EU. | ||

The "goal" of ladder heroes is to incentivize playing on NA/EU at a high level, right? The MMR change actually just hurt that goal, as it rewarded sitting at a certain MMR rank and not playing anymore. Do you think it's possible to still use MMR, but give a bonus to games played? Say we take the MMR as a base rating, but for every game played you add something like 5 points? The number of points a game itself would be worth would have to be fiddled with, maybe, but it would encourage playing more games. And heck, if someone wanted to play 300 games in order to gather points, well, goal achieved? | ||

The number of points a game itself would be worth would have to be fiddled with, maybe, but it would encourage playing more games. And heck, if someone wanted to play 300 games in order to gather points, well, goal achieved? I thought a lot about this. Was there something I could do with the MMR system with minimum games played or bonuses for games played. Ultimately all the systems I came up either felt like band aid solutions(create a minimum game requirement and that becomes the exact number of games players will play), or overly complex solutions(how motivating is a system is most players don't bother to understand it?). I also didn't want to just straight reward games played because the system is meant to target and incentivize high level players who would otherwise practice on another server more often, thereby giving mid/lower tier player a trickle down benefit of better practice. I don't think points is a perfect system, but I think it is a better system than what I can come up with via MMR. I may also factor in additional changes in the coming months with the point system. | ||
