Re: Can someone fill me in on what’s happening?

@Asmodeus566 That was a nicely written thread, btw. I'm starting to wonder if there's a chance this ranked rework might prove so immensely unpopular that we see some sort of revert, like with the evo shield TTK change in, what was it, S6?

    @pandareno1999 But that change had the pro's and twitch kids all riled up. Aren't they largely happy about these ranked changes?

    @CCbathwater Pro's probably "after all their not strangers for trying to get higher placements." Alot of content creators usually solo ranked for content, but soloing seems abysmal according to here, so it could be mixed for them.

    @CCbathwater Some are some aren't. The algs ones seem to like it. But the content creator types that push more or play solo don't

    @pandareno1999 

    Thanks for the reply. In its current for I agree that the changes are probably going to be an overall unpopular thing that happened. 

    Like I said I think they went a little overboard. 

    I do not think we will see a full revert, because a changed needed to happen and it is in the right direction just a little to far.

    They will need to adjust the new changes for a better balance at all levels of ranked play.

    @hayhor Yep the new ranked system is affecting "Top" tier level players differently. Content creators seem to have less content now, seems like bad games do not "sell", ALGS PRO scene players that also create content seem to be doing a bit better but even their content is a lot less. Some of both groups have even bailed on Ranked and are playing Pubs.

    Albralelie, who helped in the design of the new ranked system, now advocates for changes in the allocation of RP multipliers, saying it's too harsh on solo-q players.

    https://twitter.com/TSM_Albralelie/status/1524761143507619841?t=20dwDXmBiAI8_5NurqyR1w&s=19

    In a reddit thread discussing this tweet, he said:  "I'm certain within the coming weeks there would be tweaks to the solo q experience because currently its very unenjoyable for most people."

    @pandareno1999 The fact they consulted that group and allowed them to dictate the changes is ridiculous. He doesn't care. He is just scared they'll change it back.

    @pandareno1999 I watched the video in the Reddit thread you mentioned. I was amazed to find out later that this Albralelie actually had some influence on the design of ranked this Season.
    In the video he says "I hate to drop the **** of reality on a lot of people, but if you're a 'hard stuck' Plat 4 or D-4, you're not good, man - like, really bad."
    Now he's rying to row back on that, saying solo players deserve a better game?
    Well, why involve people like him in the design of the game in the first place, when he holds such elitist and, frankly, nasty views about players who on the whole just want to enjoy the game and feel a sense of accomplishment? People like that always start flip-flopping when they get pulled up.
    I have watched some of his videos and I can see he is an excellent player in an excellent team. But most players are not great at the game and they don't have the regular teammates. There's no need to rub salt in their wounds and take away whatever enjoyment they do get. Give them a lift not knock them down. These game has a lof of improvements needed. It's just arrogant to think it doesn't.

    I'm not interested in debating about Albrlelie.  I don't even watch the guy.  My point was simply "even this guy who helped design this system is acknowledging that it isn't working very well."

    @pandareno1999 Yes, but he also said that players who are suffering because of it are just "really bad". So if he helped design it, and he says stuff like that, then why was he chosen for his input in the first place? The fact that he's now saying something else is just him being caught in the spotlight regarding his previous comments.

    Ask Respawn why he was involved.  As I said, I'm uninterested in debate.  I couldn't care less about these guys.
