League System Info (UPDATED 3/7/2017)

the actual reward system is not fair anymore. In the past where you have no leage points it was ok - the mate with the most beacons got 5 au. But with the league points it is not fair anymore. So often i mixed with teammates that are only focussed on damage, but with damage alone you can not win the game. So i tried very hard on fighting the reds and grabbing beacons, at the end it was not enough and i get penalized with negative league points. But i do the most for the win! (See the screenshot)

so the campers was the real winners - they maximally go to one beacon and then stay and do damage. So a new algorithm for rewarding the team has to be installed. For example with each beacon you get some % of the sum of damage of your team. 

As result the ranking at the end of the game is more fair and the pilots which try hard will get their fair reward for the result of the game!

Keep it civil everyone

Also NIBIRU , I saw that your pfp contained an offensive gesture,

I've changed it to something more suitable, you're welcome

This. It is infuriating to see playerd standing a few steps from a beacon and not take them because they might miss damage. It is sad to see players get -15 points with ay many beacons as the complete team while some 0 beacon camper gets a reward. And its stupid that because the diversity dropped massively. Playing stalker now is just bad (in terms of league points).

Its quite simple to fix too (numbers might need adjustment). Lower all points gained by 2 and add 6/4/2 points for 1st/2nd/3rd most beacons and just for fun 2 points for most killed bots. Adjust this fast please because this is quite annoying.

Also the matchmaking is kinda meh sometimes. Im Gold 1 and ive played Bronze 1 and Diamond in the same team sometimes and other times Expert/Masters. Once even fought three teamed(!) Legenderies. Wasnt fun..

Otherwise this 「dookie」 is rocking. Never played as much as the last week want Diamond rank!

Can we consolidate League info in the first post? I can't find the league ranks anywhere, including a Google image search. I know I've seen it in this forum, but buried in pages of ranting and raving.

Also, how many people are in each sub-level? I've seen roughly 100 people in each sub-level so far, but there has to be more people in other levels considering the number of players.

Was this what the developers were trying achieve?

that is one hell of a recruit!

? [VTSC] ? That's awesome. Thanks for the laugh!

And if this broken league is going to continue, I also agree that beacons should play a roll in determining league points. But, not just captures, beacon liberations should also be factored in.

Anyone that is a capper has had a it happen, you liberate a beacon with low health only to be killed before the cap. Even though you did not cap the beacon, the lib was enough to help secure the win.

Liberations should count just as much as captures. Why they are not tracked in our profiles is beyond my comprehension.

I thought they did that already? I know I've been getting credit for taking beacons even though they haven't changed to blue yet because I count them as I take them. Isn't everyone?

Not that I have noticed on Android. I'm only getting beacons if I'm involved in the cap. 

I find your confidence and optimism equally disturbing.

Now what?

That'd be awesome but instead of league points make it game money or workshop points. I think the League play is fine as is as far as placing players where they rank. As someone already pointed out, it'll settle itself out eventually. People just need to give it a little more time.

There could be monthly rewards for top players in each league as well in different winning categories. Say as you stated, for...

Most beacons taken.

Most hostile beacons liberated.

Most beacons taken in a certain sized bot.

Most beacons liberated in a certain sized bot.

Most damage done in a certain sized bot.

Most kills in a certain sized bot.

Most damage overall.

Most kills overall.

They already ask us to do some of this stuff in the daily tasks. Just take it one step further. Players would have incentives to play better and stop messing around.

Regarding losing points for dropping a map before the timer AND RE: games starting without a full roster:

I think they are related.

I have a clan mate who is always complaining about his wifi coverage due to an "upgrade" to fiber optics that has his internet all buggy. He's being dropped into a ton of games that are at 9:45 or so on the game timer.

I think MM is struggling to find enough people in a given range, which results in someone being a little out of their league (literally). I think they get thrown in as a last-ditch effort to complete a roster, which happens very late.

After some complaining to Pixo, their response, and further consideration on my part, I think that's why I have lost 20 points on maps I dropped before *MY* timer had expired, because I was dropped into a game that had technically already started, making it too late to find another player.

As someone said before, you never see a match that has a blank sixth spot, only a 000 guy, which was me, because I dropped a map the second I saw it but the game had started (which I had no way of knowing since I never dropped a bot).
Further support of this is the fact I was randomly dropped into my clan leader's game, which is actually the only reason I am aware it happened. He is in Diamond 1 and I was in Silver III, which is a wide disparity, but it appears his Diamond League match was struggling to find a 6th and MM threw me in as a last-attempt. That both explains why I lost points for dropping the map (the game had obviously started) and why I was in so far over my head. Had he not asked what happened, I might not have caught the negative 20. I keep a better eye on my league points now just to be sure.

Hopefully this is something that will get evened out, because I find it difficult to believe that with millions of players they can't find 6 to cobble together for a proper match.

Oh, and I *think* you're safe to drop out of a map before the timer expires without falling into that "drop-out match maker" so long as you don't have very many of these 0 0 0 games. After all, if you're not getting 0s, you didn't tank, you just left before the match started.
