Since I got disliked, I assume I couldn't explain my self well. I would like to write a longer post and explain the problem on my perspective.Current system works as follows: You start with 1500 psr lets say it takes a month to get 1700 psr. After a month It would only take 3-4 days to get that psr. First guy played maybe 100 games to get 1700 however second guy who started later got it in 20 wins. If someone wants to get 1st on ladder he can do it in just last month before the stats reset. Look at C-HOSEN's psr now he played 500 games to get that psr, If I play 100games with similar win rate on 1500psr account I can even get more psr than him even though he played much more and therefore deserved more. If you keep the intervals close though, there wouldn't be much psr difference between first player and some guy in middle and it would also fix the !balance issue.One of the reasons I quit this server is I simply cannot start a game with my main account. I get kicked out of lobbies for having high psr difference it takes me 1 hour of lobby duration to play 30 minutes of game. Another example is last season, I have no idea how long that season was played. I assume it was about 1-1.5 year. I simply thought its enough when I had 100 psr more than the second place. I assumed no-one can come that far anyway since a game at 1800 psr was giving just 1 point and second place had to win 100 matches at least. However you guys didn't reset the stats and other guys played 4-5 months more after I gave a break and they surpass me.The point is there is no competition if you don't say this season will end at this point. Lets be honest here there is literally no fun in online games if there is no competition even the players that we argued with flamed each other etc makes the game fun. AND it gets shitty if that reset schedule is too long. After a while all you get is 1 point, and you know that after a month people at this point will get 5 point per game. Also the lobby kicks at 1800psr + can be solved with low reset intervals.I know its a long post but I wanted to make my point clear I just want to make eurobattle better for players.Cheers,
@FataLity- I dont know who gave you negative karma but probably it was something personal since your post was nothing more than positive feedback, at least from my pov. What you said is right but I think there is a serious reason behind the current length settings of DotA ladder seasons. As a staff member and player I noticed that most of rule-breaking and leaving happens at the start of the season. Is chaos. People dont care for rules when their accounts hold no stats and most of them dont know we can lock their IP for rule-breaking so they break rules thinking bans are 100% avoidable. Leaving happens in every game for almost 1 month. They get bad score and lose > they leave, re-activate another acc or create fresh one and join again and repeat this process until they are satisfied with their stats and wins. This is also reinforced due to imbalanced games. When everybody has 1500 PSR and no stats you cant balance a game. If you get a balanced game then it is by pure chance. This chaos gets some order to the end of the 1st month of the new season. Resetting the stats at 3 months, 1 of those 3 being this chaos, will mean the end of this server. Imo, solution will be to set it 1 year but rework the balance formula/PSR gain or 6-8 months (no less than 6). Also, even in such conditions we can never expect a perfect resolution to current game-balancing problems (low skilled players, ruiners, leavers, imperfect balance formula, unfair PSR gain on long-term, etc) and I think this is something that plagues every ladder out there (at least in small, unprofessional, leagues) therefore should be considered natural variables and good players should adapt around them, which only adds more value to their skill, imo Season schedule is a must. If setting an exact end/start date is not possible at least with a 2-7 days difference error.
The point is there is no competition if you don't say this season will end at this point. Lets be honest here there is literally no fun in online games if there is no competition even the players that we argued with flamed each other etc makes the game fun. Cheers,
I am really glad I opened this topic, since we really do have things to discuss. Also, thank all of you for giving us feedback, we appriciate it. Now, with regards to the suggestions:• Season schedule is a very good idea, we used to have it, but due to the lack of players in recent years, we let seasons last longer, for the sake of PSR. Maybe it was bad idea. To be changed definitely, once we conclude everything from this topic.• An alternative solution to this, if you (plural) want more competitive ladder, is to have the season goal. Season will end once the first player reacheas XXX psr (for example 1900). Its just an idea I got now, which may improve competition. • If we want to set a fixed date of ladder reset, what would be the best time to start season? Server gets deserted during summer, people dont spend too much time indoor, so how good would be to reset it now? Season should start on september, I believe. Please propose different date if you disagree, with valid reasons.• Monthly reset is bad option, like Renovation said, users will just leave games all the time, and create new account(s). This might be solved with stats reset per user request indeed, but this feature is reserved for VIPs/Patreons/Tour Supporters. If we give it to everyone, it would be pointless. Actually, even these mentioned membergroups have only 1 reset per month. Season should last minimum 6 months. • Winner of entire season does not get the same award as tournament winner, and you know it. First of all, he gets promoted to VIP membergroup which comes with the varierty of additional privileges. On top of that, he gets channel voice, unique icon, etc.. Tournament winner gets X amount of psr and 2 icons. These 2 really can not be compared, you will agree. • Storing stats is also good suggestion, staff already discussed about it, and to be honest, I cant remember the outcome of it. PSR and K/D/A can not be saved obviously, but we could save last seasons PSR or highest PSR ever. So for example, when the season starts, if you check someones stats, you'll see the following:Spoiler for Hiden: [User] hasn't played any DotA games in current season. Last season PSR: 1899Or, once user plays one game, it would look be something like:Spoiler for Hiden: [User] PSR: 1515 games: 563 W/L: 1/0 last season PSR: 1899H. K/D/A 10/5/12 C. K/D/N 100/10/25
