Expanding Ultimate League and Beyond
I have a proposal to submit for Season 2. Many players (300? 500? 1,500?) already reached Ultimate League in Season 1, and besides the Weekly challenge and event cards, there isn't much incentive fo...

why not use 20 wins and 18 losses if you are just making stuff up? (52.6%)
I'm not arbitrarily assigning a win streak, I'm selecting the best conditions to level up win the minimal win rate.
Your example doesn't work because an 11 win streak grants an automatic level up.
Hence, the maximum win streak possible is 10. 8 loss is a maximum loss granting a star as a result of the 18 games.
10 win / 8 loss = 55,6% win rate.
QED.
You are yet to comment on the idea submitted. However, it seems you are more interested to prove that math isn't your strong suit. 🥳
Let me stab again. For the first round*, a player winning 10 games earns 9 stars and then subsequently losing the following 8 games nets out at 1 star, a 55.56% winrate. The next round can't be the same scenario (10 wins followed by 8 losses) because adding the previous 1 star to the newly earned 9 stars grants the automatic level. Therefore, the second round is winning 9 games and losing 7, itself a 56.25% winrate. The third round is 8 wins and 6 losses, the fourth 7 wins and 5 losses, etc., with the ninth round being 2 wins and 0 losses and the tenth being 1 win and rank up (it's part of the ninth's round winning streak). If I've added that up correctly, that's 55 wins out of 91 games meaning that one has won 60.4% of the games. (Using the same analysis, when it's 20 levels to rank up instead of 10, it's 210 games out of 381 for 55.1%.)
*A "round" is a string of games grouped by a series of wins followed by a series of losses.
as to the idea, everyone wants a leaderboard or continuation of the leage. My opinion of your idea is that it is too difficult. 10 win streak shortcutting 2/3rds of the round just introduces some luck into whether you reach the next level. (because with good luck/bad opponents, you might be able to jump over others in the same league). if you are going to make it really challenging, it should be challenging all the way through (like Taco league and how it takes forever)
- Approved

Now we are getting somewhere... Thank you for your feedback. 😉
Which part is too difficult, can you please elaborate? (We can work all together to make it more balanced...)
When I see so many players already in Ultimate (boring) League, I believe it's not very challenging to get there. Tedious, certainly.
The luck is an inherent part of this game. With the cards in your starting hands, the cards you draw, the random block trigger, the hero you face, etc.
However, I don't think winning 11 matches in a row, with 11 different heroes, (mostly) against other players of your level is luck. 3-4 wins maybe, not 11. This requires real skills, and deserves reward IMO.
