#Rank Resets are trash

So I got up to 37,831 rank points 2 seasons ago, my first time hitting grandmaster, only for it to promptly be reset back down to 26,000. Somewhat annoyed with this, I started playing less, and evidently made the mistake of choosing to play my last game right before this season reset, and that game knocked me just below 26,000, so now when this one reset I'm down to 16,000. Risk games are not often short, and once you hit master/grandmaster the points are even harder to come by... I really think this system is pretty stupid. Or to put it into language the devs of this game understand, it makes the likelihood of me ever buying another map on this game 0.

I can't provide a proper response unless you state a probable concern or ask a question, rather than making a statement and complaining about the game.

It's not a question, it's simply a statement that the rank system is trash. The comments on here show the maturity of the players here, so I guess I'm making the right call quitting this game for good. Peace douche bags!

What did i say that is not mature.

#

I pointed out your statement you clearly had no discussion to make.

#

Am i supposed to beg on the floor for you not to quit?

I honestly expected someone to try to explain why they made the system they did, or try to justify the absurdity of being able to go from 36K to 16K rank points while not actually losing games to lose the points. Instead there's a bunch of emojis replying. Clearly neither the game nor the player base is worth sticking around for.

So rank resets, serve a purpose. Basically, what they do is ensure that I can't just get to a rank, when I played with a lot of skill, then never play ever again. To maintain a rank you have to play the game. The issue have with this, is the inevitable occasional sandbags. My first season back, I climbed from novice to top 10 on leaderboard, which is obviously a huge discrepancy. Me gaining over +40,000 ranked points off non novice players, TOOK away rank from players who were accurately ranked, causing rank DEFLATION. I feel like a gradual decay would work better instead of the current system, because it would both encourage activity, while not punishing really good players who show up randomly after a year, and the people they play against. Also it discourages camping at a rank. If you get to 26k, and there's 1 day left, before reset, you DONT play risk, but under gradual decay, it wouldn't matter.

Such a fun thing to do, am I right?

#

But yeah, I think the fact that the ranked system, makes it so that if you don't play for a year, even if you were a top gm, you have go sandbag as a novice so you steal peoples ranked points unfairly.

#

And even on reset, you get to sandbag as a low ranked gm, and not a top gm, again not letting the novices in your lobbies get enough points off you for your skill

#

The whole issue with resets, is it makes it so that over time rank will decay. The only thing that makes overall rank increase, is novices with 0 skill points, since you CANT go negative no matter how bad you are

#

So if I have an account that's a novice at 0 pts, and I join into 1000 games, with neutral bots, and immediately give myself 6th, I am manipulating the game to increase the amount of ranked points in the pool

Holy shit dude

Good lord

#

Why did Bradex have to find this thread….

tepid cedar
#

I'm just not offering a better solution

slate kestrel
#

No one came into this thread for valid points even the OP wasn’t looking for valid points

You are fully correct

I understand resetting GMs to 26000 but reducing someone on 25999 to 16000 while someone on 26001 keeps their rank makes no sense whatsoever

# devout pelican This was an appropriate response to it too tbh ^^

And Sneaks told me off for it 😛 😉 I just saw another person complaining and couldn't deal with it 😅 I knew the way it would end would be either insults or them just leaving as it usually does turn out that way. I probably shouldn't have tho 😅 T'was a bit rude

Whole rank system for birds. Move up in rank and never win a game. Wish based on place finished. Everyone bots out as well so wish negative points for botting out. Oh wait we have this little connection issue. Be vold day in he'll when they resolve that and while I am on a rant fix castles. 118 vs my 89 on castle. I get all 89 eliminated while he only has 58 eliminated. Some castle defense. Taken the defense out of this game for sure.
