#compsplatoon can anyone tell my why going 1-3 in an x series result in more power loss than going 0-3?

Still looking for a team to play with in New InkLAN 6 in April. I am midline focused with Blasters, and play at around a div 4-5 level.

Wait I didn't get oreos :(
also you are very goated

Donating blood is such a helpful thing to do, and saves many lives. No matter what blood type you are, if you can donate, you should.

Plus, usually there's snacks

Have you ever played LUTI with your good vibes on the line

That is a completely fair and valid take. My proposed system would not work for players who play their weapons in atypical ways. My attempt was to make a system that would benefit the most people possible, but it failed to be inclusive to all play styles I'm realizing.

Perhaps a mix of both role and range queue would be needed, that way the system can clarify how you'll be playing at your range, and then remove the double midline limitation? The reason I avoided role queue initially is because roles are very fluid, but I can see how they could be necessary

Ah, I thought I corrected my language from short range support specifically. But yes, you are probably right that my system would cause issues for any short range that prefers fighting or skirmishing rather than support.

🧵 A suggestion on how to fix the system #compsplatoon

To begin with, I'm not saying this is the best or only way to change the format of the plus server, sendouq, and our competitive scene in general, but is an option.

Our community has struggled with the effects of the plus server's voting 1/10

Instate, but the only way we can fix the problem is by making a change. I encourage any discussion on how we can grow the scene, including any ideas for or against my own. 10/10

Fun fact: Ancient Athens had a similar problem after Sparta kicked their ass, and it helped influence my thoughts.

Be set with a specific rank. Plat being +3, diamond +2, and leviathan +1. That would mostly just remove the "secret club" feel the servers sometimes have.

Overall, I believe these changes could have a very positve effect on the community and how we measure skill. It would be a lot of work to 9/10

Way players aren't discouraged from entering tournaments for fear of losing rank, but are still rewarded for actually competing and playing well. Of course, only reputable and/or consistent tournaments should be ranked, such as SoS or ITZ.

Another proposition, is changing the plus servers to 8/10

But how do tournaments affect this? Currently tournaments have more of an effect on your score than sendouq itself does, so what I would propose is removing the ability to lose points from tournaments, but only allowing podium placements to gain points in large but standardized amounds. This 7/10

Valuable representation of a player's skill.

This leads back to using sendouq as the backbone of a merit based rank system. Using the revised system you could truly determine who is skilled enough to enter the plus servers, and eliminate voting. No more gatekeeping or time consuming votes. 6/10

Being incredibly picky about who they play with, and decrease queue times drastically.

With that change teams would be put into an essentially level playing field where skill truly matters rather than just farming low levels for free points. This also means that sendouq rank is a far more 5/10

Be playing short range, mid range or long range, with an extra option for having a cooler weapon in your weapon pool. Then you would be automatically paired with other of similar rank players into a standardized double midline, support shooter, and backline comp. This would prevent players from 4/10

Lack of activity sendouq currently has. But to use sendouq as a base, we need to increase the usage of sendouq.

I would suggest changing the sendouq system away from directly picking your teammates, and stead creating a range based queue. When you enter the queue, you select whether you would 3/10

Format for quite some time, and the issue of the "popularity contest" keeps recurring. To address this, I believe the easiest change to make would be to remove voting entirely and move toward a truly merit based system that uses sendouq as its base. That sounds like a horrible idea given the 2/10

It would never happen but imagine how awesome it would be
