I have a high MMR. I often played pvp against the players I see going to WTS. I took a break for about a month or two for real life reasons, and now I am disgusted at what I see when I come back. The level I see the average player at is appalling. Multi-capping points, unable to push an advantage 3 or even 4v1 etc. They call me a turret engi for playing a single healing turret. Maybe it’s my fault for playing the “casual” mode.
For the past few months, the leaderboards and ranking system have been dependent on how many games you played. Not player skill. If I would join a ranked match, I would go up against the full teams I see playing in the WTS (after 10 min+ wait times), teamed with randoms. How is that fair?
You’ve implemented a change to the leaderboards/ranking system for how many times now. Very impressive. It has been how long for you to slowly copy a working ladder system like League of Legends? Did you not promise a PvP MMO when you released this game?
I get frustrated when I play with teams who can’t capitalize on me winning 1v1, 2, 3’s repeatedly. I get frustrated with teams who don’t know the basic mechanics of a map like Spirit Watch or Legacy.
It’s a simple question now. Where am I supposed to play? I go ranked, and I get killed vs structured teams like the Abjured. I go casual and I get frustrated by bad teammates and worse opponents. Form a team? Unlikely. I’ve played this game for over 2 years and you’ve yet to form a real PvP atmosphere. The players I see going into the WTS are the good players who have stuck around for years for whatever reason, or the mediocre players who have become top tier due to lack of competition.
Please, tell me.
