So we’re approaching the end of this season, this is probably one of the weirdest seasons we’ve had yet with no one in solos reaching 2k and only 3 people in the gold rating based off last season while in 4s we had multiple people reaching 2k while solos num. 1 was at about 1500-1600.

 

So this I’m sure is going to be extremely hard for the devs to decide of what the ranked brackets should be, so we need to give feedback to let them know what we think.

 

So post here your opinions about brackets and what you think would be fair for both group ranked and solo ranked.

Personally I can see it looking something like this;

Gold - 1650+

Silver - 1450-1649

Bronze - 1250-1449

Season might end in the early summer i think xd

I don't understand what makes you think the season end is near.... It won't end any time soon.

 

The brackets you propose are ok if it was to end soon, but its next spring or summer at best. So no..

its a good idea, most of the elo brackets were based on exploits and noob farming. it would be nice if it was more reasonable.

1) The season has another 4 months

 

2) Bioware has never considered player input in regards to ranked tiers and rewards.

 

3) Something different has to be done with ranked tiers this season. There is a vast disparity between Grouped and Solo ranked ELO, unseen in other seasons, because quite frankly there has been an influx of really bad players flooding both ques. In solo ranked it makes it extremely hard (if not impossible) to climb. In group ranked it makes it extremely easy to farm. Most likely (if number 2 was true and bioware did listen to player feedback in regards to ranked tiers) Bioware would have to split the rankings, where gold in group ranked is higher than gold in solo ranked.

If possible they need to make different brackets for each ranked type IMO. If they don't most of your solos gold players will be the top3s also, which doesn't seem optimal.

 

The solo ranked redesign they implemented really diminished how much you can reasonably climb...

 

In the previous system the higher average rating players were grouped together vs the lower. The higher average rating players gained less for a win, while the lower average team had the potential to gain often twice as much as the higher.

 

With this system the ratings are more similar on average for each team, but to accomplish this two of the highest rated players are often placed with two of the lowest rated.

 

With this climate of mat farmers and general lack of skill, the lowest rated players are often dragged out from the depths of elo hell. While maybe you can carry one global target, you can almost never carry two... one tends to hit a wall climbing wise at roughly 1400-1500, as that means you are usually highest rated in queue and have to carry hard.

they said that this season will last 6 months which means it will end in february (counting with august)

they say a lot of things.

Well given that the feedback we give is generally when they start talking about ending the seasons, by this point they already have a solid idea for what they’re gonna be and won’t change, if we get in early before they make a decision we may actually get a voice in this and maybe the brackets will accurately reflect the ratings for the season.
