The current method of joining a private server posted in a discord channel poses a lot of difficulties for many players;
Many players will have to be lucky enough for an examiner to host an event when they’re free. There is no fixed schedule for the hosting of rankup events, so players aren’t really able to plan their time to catch an event. Furthermore, some examiners in other timezones have not been very active in terms of hosting events, which leads to people not being able to catch events.
Private servers are filled up almost instantly. As earlier stated, it is difficult to catch the timings for events. Therefore, once an event is announced, there will be a lot of people rushing to join the event, and not many are able to join before the private server is closed from the rest. Coupled with the miserable frequency of such events, joining events becomes unnecessarily difficult.
Thus, I suggest implementing a more automatic and efficient matchmaking method for ranked games:
Matchmaking will be similar to Ranked 1v1s gamemode. However, there will be an additional feature for players to only match with people from the same server region, to minimise lag difference. Winning a duel will allow the user to gain elo. The amount of elo gained is proportional to the elo difference between the two players. Reaching a certain amount of elo will promote you to the next rank, but losing too much elo will cause you to derank.
If such method is implemented, there will no longer be an examiner to monitor duels and prevent cheaters. Therefore, a stronger anti-cheat should be implemented, and the support team should prioritise exploiter reports for ranked games.
This method should only be implemented for low ranks since higher ranked games will have greater importance, thus needing a supervisor.
Why: Players in low ranks will now no longer face the issue of not being able to JOIN an event. Examiners will also have more time to dedicate to higher ranks.
