It's time for the truth to come out. There needs to be a rank beyond Legendary. There needs to be a distinction from someone who's good and from someone who's the BEST.
Why do I say this? Well because I'd say 70%-%85 of the pool of "Legendaries" are legitimately terrible.
There seems to be a misconception that because you're "Legendary" you must be somewhat competent right? The answer is No...surprisingly.
In the previous Ranked Season, Legendary was not only hard to get and required alot of grinding, you were punished more for losing and under-performing. You could win 3 games in a row, and lose one game it could erase 2 games worth of XP.
I liked that, it made the stakes higher, it made the incentive to play smart and better because you knew what you'd lose.
For Season 4, that incentive has been completely removed! You get too much XP a match, for a win and MVP it's nearly 30-35+ points. And for a lose, you only lose between 3-15+ points.
This has in term has significantly decrease the player skill in Legendary. You're telling me that, your friend that just hit "Legendary" can contend with the Legendaries in the Top 200 leaderboards?
Well how do you tell a real legendary from a non carried one?
Well this isn't completely accurate, but in my personal experience. Legendaries with 6500 - 7500+ pts are very "meh". The high skill legendaries are usually in between 9500 - 18000+ pts at this point in the season.
Because they've made getting to legendary so much easier, the Master Ranks (1-5) have been completely filled with "bots". And I don't mean to sound harsh. Remember last season when Legendaries could party up with Master 4s - 5s and they'd actually hold their own agasint other legendaries?
Try doing that this season.....you're in a for a rude awakening. Master ranking is the new Elite V - Pro V.
Notice in the screenshots, how much balanced and competitive...
