Thumbs up for making a good ranked system

  • Only the highest ranked player in a party will be taken into consideration by the MM. This means that ppl won’t be able to boost their rank by Qing with a party of low rank accounts.

  • The D5 cap on the 1st placement will force the TL boosted accounts and the QM seed boosted accounts out of Diamond and Master (Alarak: Finally!).

  • The most effective way for everyone to climb will be Qing with a 5 man premade of equally ranked players.

  • The second most effective method will be solo Qing because this way you won’t play against higher but only equal or lower ranked players :astonished: .

  • There is only 1 way to abuse this system: a high rank player (master or GM) can make a bronze account to boost lower ranked players (golds) by playing with them. Basically you can boost low rank player but you cannot boost yourself :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

These changes come possibly a few years too late, but this means a ton of people who placed too high by either placement bugs or boosters and just do 10 placements each season to never fall out, will never get to Master again. Which might not be a bad thing at all.

And not only for higher ranks. Everyone will decay, so players who are like in gold/plat but should be in bronze/silver will decay if they don’t play. If they play, they should start losing until their rank is right.
