the whole system for base needs to be overhauled, for jav and wb it seem okay. but thats just the prob, ur taking a system which is just peachy for 5v5 single ship leagues and applying it to a league w much diff dynamic. nowon is spot on abt oversaturation of spids, cud possibly be mitigated some by having base be a 4* or 5*-10* (in lieu of .5 ratings). base is a more complex game and thus the gradient of skill differential between players has more complexity. or something. WB so fkn simple u cud prob just rate from 10-6* by going straight down the statline from each prev szn wherev theres ample data, esp if u ave each players stat for any one game against the rest of the team average and add bonus for going out last, less bonus for second to last, etc. but i digress.
yall have been running this league for years and years and ive played abt 6 games total in it, so im not gonna pretend like i know better (oh wait), but its obvious that there is definite need for tweaking and room for improvement.
but just off top of my head could mayb add sum variety in lineups and encourage ppl to try diff ships by adding “.5” to rating for playing more than 2or3 game in a row as a ship which goes away if player sits game or plays diff ship, and never more than .5 cumulative. only for reg szn, not playoffs.
ya right as if that would ever be implemented, even if it were good idea, which im not yet convinced it neccessarily is. mayb jus rate players by ship, giving all 9 or 10* players a default 7* in any ship they dont usually play, or something such, and go thru and rate by ship wherever there is adequate data. the point being, it doesnt need to be needlessly complex and convoluted
lets use ogron or trishr for xample. each ive seen sharkinf on occasion, and cud possibly pass as 8* shark. it ought be made that they cud b sharkers and not cost 10*. or at the vry fkn least when a player signs up they cud request a diff rating for a ship they dont usually play, that way they cud mayb get to play it some but if their team needs them in their reg ship they have normal *rating for it. THE LEAGUE NEEDS MORE SHARKRs N TERRS, WE SHUD B TRYING TO ENCOURAGE THIS.
ppl mite say to this: well that hampers ptime for other players on roster in a league where u have 500 ppl on each team. to this i would say: ADD MORE TEAMS. ya, if u have 10 or 12 teams ull have more teams w inexperienced captains who dont hav much of a fkn clue, and it sux if u get drafted to these teams, but 2 fkn bad. ull have to share the pain w the unfortunate souls drafted to a team Tiny or a team Zapata. its a draft league. at least u get to play somewhat competitive matches once a week. this would also give more sense of validity to reg szn games and xcitement to playoff contention, ie. more conteders. and just to add, i feel the majoriry of the 5 basing games ive played in this league there were only a selection of 9-10 players online to choose from, implying adding dynamic ratings wud still b fine even w 8 teams.
these ratings changes are rly jus minor things that cud b easily implemented w/o upsetting the ecosystem whilst improving league dynamic and player experience. la la la
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
now to the ratings themselves. gen pretty bad for base, even by a standard where one expects them to be p bad. im not gonna rail too much against em tho cause every1 is entitled to their misguided opinions and im sure u hav about 80 ppl every szn bitching n moaning and casting their 2 pesoes into the fray, and by what metric or standard can one convince the masses that certain peoples opinion is far more valuable than others in a game as complex as this? 95% of the players cant seem to grasp or conceive of the game as a battle over the atrition of space. u haf 9.9/10 spids that prioritize their record over paying attention to sharks or creating space, absolutely oblivious to the fact that one often creates more space and thus more impact by NOT killing and instead making sharks rep or distracting nme spids. im of c oversimplifying it, but regardless its really a shitshow out there, so much room for improvement all across the board
of course, i have a personal axe to grind in the above statements when i haf a steadman or a banks or whoev the fuk giving me shit every game as if i couldnt play like a lobster and go 130-50 anytime i wantd. again, i digress.
back to ratings: all ill say is one thing. giving kassius a 6* is a fkn joke. the man mvpd and had 5 TEKs the last bd i saw him play. he was telling me how he is allstar dsb captain and invented the dsb equivalent of the cram and wud travel to iceland to play in DSB lan tourny and etc. obviously not a fuking 6* for anyone who has paid the least bit of attention, and considering she is on my squad and ive played 3000 bd in the past months, u shud fkn listen when i rate her 7.5. who is running this shitshow? this alone destroys all credibility for the mysterious ratings board of directors, and is all the criticism that needs to be leveled to make the point. kudos to whoev pickt her up in draft, u haf been given huge unfair advantage.
as 3 is obv the most divine of numbers, u shud take a nod from the romans and have all ratings be done via triune who convenes and discusses and makes the ratings together as one, not jus 8 random anonymous ppl submitting their star sheet and then tallying the average. r u fkn kidding me?
my suggestion for the trinity: Nowon, Ogron, and some third person of their choosing. we would have such better ratings if this were the case.
and jus as another personal aside, giving me 8* again in WB when ive prob literally averaged 6-10 and definitetly average 760 reso is v frustrating. jus to plant the seed for next szns consideration.
am sry in advance, today is the first time ive had caffeine in a month <3
