Will we be getting a better ranking system?

62 victories and 64 LOSSES. lol? doesn't sound like the best player to me.

Depends...
In case of my Acheron band i lost quite many games before i stoped experimenting with 3x Pala and stwitched to slightly abusive 5 bowman base that works against current meta. Without option to reset rank by myself i need long time to achieve enough victories to bring my Win:Lose ratio at respectable level

but srsy - 120 games since monday?
Personaly i have time for 2-4 games a day, if not less.

yeah also...and considering he is high ranked i should meet him often but i keep meeting only 2 players of the top 10... My aim when playing this game is to have fun which is connected to the fact that i can play with somebody and don't waste 20 min everytime. I could care less of rating especially as i cannot compete with people that play 120+ games per week (last time i managed the top 10 just by playing with very very few losses). One thing i noticed that last week top 10 guys are disappeared...is it because they are screwed like me with the matchmaking? Overall the ratio of win/losses this week seems much worse for all top 10 players.

anyway...what i would like is a tournament system, with entry tickets (available in cyans/ducats ) every week with great prices, depending on your placement. In that way even players who can't farm 120+ games get a shot. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of players under the top 10 that are more skilled but cannot play everyday.

But to be honest - there would be need for more interesting rewards.
Currently, when all you can get can be bought both for ducats/cyans and without a great problem - there is few things that would convince me to playing for wins instead of fun (im not sure if its bad - but every game needs its powergamers to do 'tests' with full "I have a fun once - it was awful" motivation

The ranking system will change a bit :
Victories will give you 2 points instead of 3, draws will give you 0,5 points instead of 1.
The score will still be heavily influenced by your W/L ratio, as it is today.
This change implies that your losses will be dragging you down in the ranking much more than in the previous system.

Also, the people that played 100+ games took the risk of playing them all, which tends to "even" the odds a bit.
Most of the other players in the top 10 have under 40 matches.
In the new ranking system, someone with 60 victories and 0 loss will have a better score than someone who has played 120 matches, but lost more than 50% of them.

About the ELO changes to matchmaking... we changed them too. We expect it will be 2 times faster with the next patch.
Also, we changed the ELO cap, meaning higher (or lower) level players will be able to find more opponents in their queues.
But keep in mind that it depends of the number of players that are online at the moment you are playing, and more importantly, on the percent of them that are not in a match already.

Deep Blue, maybe you have a hard time finding people (and find only 2 others at your skill level) because of the time frame in which you are playing? But hopefully, the new patch should help you find more players
We had our own perspective on how the "tournament" system should be done (in the weeks to come), but your ideas were refreshing. We will think about it

That's great to hear Jigoku, it was rather discouraging when I started playing last Monday and saw some people had already played 50+ matches in just one or two days. It felt like even if I would have been winning 5 out of 6 matches, I would still have a long grind to go, which subsequently caused me to just give up on the top 10 this week and use my earned cyans to experiment with the undead faction a bit more.

Can't wait for the next patch!
