Playing with new players isnt terrible but thats what casual is for, please stop letting players with less than 5 hours and 20 games into ranked, make it a minimum of either 25 or 50 games. thanks

I agree, maybe not 25 or 50 but something in between, like 30-40, so they at least have the bare minimum experience, i’ve seen some devious shit from new players in ranked

#

I feel now that the player count is actually high it’s probably a good thing so everyone can slowly get to a higher base skill level

I think 50 games is good. It might be annoying for some, but it's a good baseline. 50 games = ~25 hoursish. That's enough to know what they're at

people at 100 games not knowing to NOT barb red doors is insane

literal day 1 lessons

That’s why i agree that the minimum games should be higher, but 50 might be a bit too many that’s my take

I just had alot of players complaining they are playing against 2k players but I think it is their own fault for queuing into a rank with minimal expierence. Definitely should increase the minimum of games required to play ranked.

if youre a good player youll get xp and finish the pass sooner, meaning ranked sooner

#

if youre shit, it takes way longer, meaning ranked way later

#

it promotes learning about ways to get xp, aka assists, using flashes, placing util on markers, etc

#

But if it’s tied to util it might bring more people to just waste util to get more levels in and getting into ranked faster, idk

🤷‍♂️

#

its better than the current system

#

with no tutorial

wise flare
#

Yeah, it’s better than nothing for sure

#

if we had a tutorial, 25 game minimum would be fine

#

but its 15 + no tutorial rn

Due process does have a tutorial but not an exhaustive one I suppose. Making it mandatory to play ranked would be smart

normal hazel
#

mandatory to play ranked?...

dull cosmos
#

Making the tutorial a prerequisite to play ranked

normal hazel
#

oh right

#

i should go to sleep before i misunderstand something again

yeah, the tutorial isnt a tutorial

#

its a glorified gun range

dull cosmos
#

There is one though? It has instructions and basic concepts and tools and you are taught the premise of entry and how to use certain tools

#

It is far from exhaustive but gets many people into being able to actually play the game, and without it those people who have 0 games wouldn’t even be able to pick up the door charge and know how it’s used

#

It hits all the criteria of being a tutorial, if by now outdated

polar gate
#

its a tutorial, but has no actual guidance on what to do, doesnt explain anything, etc etc
