@FrontierWarrior8 For 1 week after the reset, climbing is harder because all the good people are now in the same league as you. But wait only 1 week and they are all gone again, so you will have no problems climbing back up.
What I meant by "climbing by accident" is that sometimes people are just extremely bad, or they surrender instantly, or try out a bad build and loose to you. And since you can have winstreaks in diamond and gain a lot of medals per win, you might end up in masters by accident, a league that it just oo much for you. Now you are there and want to get out, but you can't, because there is no way to drop out of the league. Now the reset saves you, because you will not be trapped in masters for all eternity.
Also, what idiot gets stuck in a high league after paying some money, decides to start over, AND PAYS AGAIN? That makes just no sense. I'm pretty sure the intent of a company is not to make your playerbase quit...
Next, imagine that you climbed to lets say masters, which was pretty hard for you, but you made it. Then for some reason you take a long break from the game. Imagine that the reset didn't happen, and now you are still in masters. Time has passed and everyone is waaaaay better at the game now and you are getting stomped nonstop. Kinda stupid, don't you think? A reset mechanism is NEEDED. It MUST exist. It's NECESSARY to let people fall out of leagues that have proven to be too much to handle for them.
But I have to admit, the current system is not perfect. The resets are too frequent and throw you back a bit too much. A better solution would be to just let people fall out of leagues after they reached its bottom and lost like 2-3 games in a row or some system similar to that.
@backtobatcounty The reset system serves a purpose, but it's definetely flawed. A level 12 league would be nice. I'd also like to see more map rotations in other leagues. I've played on the maps from bronze league only a few times, would be nice if they would appear elsewhere more often (and other rare maps too, of course).
As for my lvl 5 acc... idk, I've lost motivation. Made it to diamond 3 (or even dia 2, can't remember), but then it stopped being fun. I also barely play on my main account too at the moment. Without patches to keep the game fresh, it is getting stale. Meta has been basically the same for months now and there are still tons of flaws in the game, especially with tech units. I still do the monthly climb to tib league and a few events now and then, but right now I am mostly waiting for a bigger patch to spice the game up a bit.
