I told you in this thread a very very very simple solution. First to 5 instead of first to 3, and first to 7 in finals. Your theory about people not having enough time to play an extra 4 games or so is a load of rubbish.
Real solution is to have matchmaking, make a pool of mods, e.g. RK, TK, Lenshu, ABD, etc. One is selected by random (Players could both veto 1 mod each to increase fairness). The format in which players compete would be a first to 5 duel.
Ranking would be worked out by the formula: Wins - losses. So if you win a ranked search 5-3 then you get +2 points and your opponent gets -2. Your points are added up and stack untill the next reset. Players are matched on the amount of points they have. E.g. If you are +50 then you will be matched with someone who is also +50 (or the nearest online, like +20 or +30, depending on who is playing). If you lose more than you win then your score might be -15 and you will be matched with someone similar.
There you go, toribash competitive solved... its very simple. Where is the problem with this idea?
Sorry for having a 2014 join date, and normally you always ranted about how GMs are shit in general, not about the ranking system, when i was about anyway.
That is not a simple solution, it is simply not doable in the season length we have (the season length is to be lengthened of course, as I have said), it is not rubbish, I have experienced it.
Yeah I agree matchmaking would be great, unfortunately Im not exactly a game dev so I cant exactly just make matchmaking. Also your matchmaking system isnt good, the aim of a matchmaking system is to give as many people as possible as close to a 50% rate as possible by matching them to people at the right level. So when you beat someone "stronger" than you you get a bigger boost in rank than if you beat someone "weaker" than you.
^all if this is pretty irrelevant to me at the moment however as it is not something I can affect in any way whatsoever^
yeah its implementation is not realistic or simple in any way whatsoever, theres your issue. (as well as your actual ranking system not being good)
