[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] da gamer [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] meagsIZbeast People only cried about it because they didn't understand it. Usually because they were bad[/quote] As someone who got to a 50 and earned it, it was a horrible system and it made no LOGICAL sense. I mean sure I understand what it was going for, but it didn't really make for a good system. A good system doesn't force you to stay at the same rank for 10 wins in a row, you should move up, you've proven you can win there, but H3's system didn't do that, you would get stuck there. [/quote] See right there you proved you dont know how it worked. The whole thing was based on your own trueskill, along with your teams trueskill, vs the other teams trueskill. If your teams aggregate trueskill was higher than the other team, the system says you are supposed to win. If the aggregate is close, then you can still rank up. However, if you are supposed to win by a decidedly large amount, then the win will do almost nothing for you. Also having people who are 50s with a lot of wins on them, on your team is hurtful to your leveling. Those of us with a lot of wins in a particular playlist have a huge trueskill compared to the average player and off set the balance quite a bit. Beating one of us, will net a large amount of favor towards your next rank, though not necessarily guarantee it. Winning with one of us on your team will net an almost 0 increase towards your next level. It is easy to tell the important games, and a lot of the time you will beat people the system expects you to beat, and lose to the teams the system expects you to lose to. That creates a tell that says you are right where you should be. Hence where the retarded term "rank lock" came from. Its not you being stuck, its you doing what the system expects of you. H3s ranking system was by no means perfect, as I have stated, but also nowhere near bad. Just because you dont understand it does not make it bad.
