Petition to reset the random ranked ladders
Posts: 107
Playing as a team is fun but going in with randoms present a different kind of high (or low) and overcoming a well organised team when you have random people thrown at you should be rewarded more so than when playing as a team. Why? Because going in as a team means you have a really big advantage with teams speak and experience playing together against people who type what they want to say and ping like hell to get your attention.
With that in mind, a reset of the current random ranks would present something new to achieve for the rest of the players who would rather do the gung-ho thing whenever his fixed team isn't around.
Thoughts? Please keep it civil whenever possible and please no bashing.
Thanks!

I see it more as a sort of fight for independence, to separate both ranks just seems like the logical route since they implemented an arranged team ranking.

As an aside, 1v1 reset should be in order, its been several balance patches, there are still remnants of players who haven't played in months in the top 200. Does elo decay even exist? I dont even... In my opinion its no different to a seasonal ranking reset, I don't see the big fuss. Furthermore why is ranking so important where the daily concurrent players is less than 3000, a small percentage of which actually play automatch player versus player games. Ranking reset? Big deal

Elo decay does exist. Why reset it if it isn't a big deal?

2v2 random ranks are more to do with luck then ability anyway.
P.S. I play 2v2 random mostly

I've noticed that during Aussie time, there's around 500-700 players online.
And yes, it does matter to some people. It's a totally different ball game when you're in a random team pitched up against an arranged team and the level of satisfaction for beating a fixed team is waaaay more fulfilling and should be reflected on your stats.
Honestly, you don't get to the top 200 in the random ladders if you weren't playing in a team before. Now that arranged teams have their own ranks, some old shmucks can start rising up the ranks and make a name for themselves.
Don't get me wrong here, I love playing with my buddies, but I can't just twiddle my thumbs whenever we have a guy missing or when I'm the only one online. I jump into random games and stats is the simplest rewards for our efforts in the game. (Aside from the enjoyment of playing ofcourse. XD)

So you don't want a reset? or you DO want a reset? Do you accept the challenge of replying with a question?

I understand it matters to some people, and I would like if ranks would use game stats to asign points.
Fair enough losing, but if one has 90 kills in lost game and teamate 12 kills.
I just cannot see it anything else but luck, since both players get same ELO points according to win or loss.
I go by personal experience (maybe its better in peak times)
But I go from rank 2000 to rank 10, 000 like a yoyo. Depending how lucky I am with teamate
Thats why I don't care that much really.

I honestly don't care much either way. I don't play anything but 1v1. Why not let the decay take care of it?
Elo gets more accurate the more games you have so why be counterproductive and reset it?

Speeding up the decay is another way of approaching it but what's to keep a player from continuing the above mention trend just to stay in rank?

About the decay, how does it really work? The way I see it, if the player only plays 1 random game just to delay decay as long as possible, we may be in for a very looong wait.
