Change in League Cup Rewards per Match

Exact same thing happened to me!

「whiskey tango foxtrot」 is going on with pixonic, it's one screw up after another! It's like they want people to quit!! They are punishing the losing team so bad with the new system. Why not just make it a point system based on damage and beacons with a bonus for all members of winning team. That way if you get squaded with crappy players, or if someone loses connection, you can still earn points by doing damage, getting beacons, so you are rewarded for at least trying. I mean, how hard would that be!!!

*lose.

I agree and this could be their next goal. But first they have to try everything they can to prevent such mismatches from happening in the first place (which would be a better solution). Failing that, they have to explain to everyone how the new system would work, which is a lot harder with a non-fixed distribution.

Leagues don't mean anything and I doubt they ever will. It's the MM that people care about... well that and earning their Au and Ag rewards. With leagues, Pixonic was trying to implement an incentive that didn't involve having to pay out. When it comes right down to it, people will ignore leagues all together if it means collecting more Au/Ag or getting a fair fight. Their solution to clubbing is a joke. Locking out the bottom two leagues? Really? All that's going to do is shift them all up two leagues and make them more concentrated. It's not like a Bronze level player provides much more of a challenge to a maxed out hanger than the lower leagues did. Hell, they'd have to get to upper expert before they'd really start meeting any meaningful resistance.(iOS) So now those of us with mid-level hangers have to deal with more of these guys. The biggest problem for the clubbers is having to face each other. The "leaver protection" might funnel these guys into the so-called ditcher league, but that doesn't last forever and once they're down there they can avoid getting put there again pretty easily since Pixonic will always allow for a certain level of ditching for people who want to skip maps. Every time they implement a solution, it's almost like they're purposely avoiding actually fixing the problem.

Ok, so before everyone is all up in arms and ready to jump off cliffs lets remember the title here was "Leagues update. First batch of tweaks"

For quick reference here are the numbers

How it looked before:
Win          Loss

13               7
10               3
7                -4
4              -10
3              -15
2              -20

How it looks now:
Win          Loss

18              -12
16              -14
15              -15
15              -15
14              -16
12              -18

Now as to their reasoning behind this: (directly from their announcement)

Notice that values for a losing team mirror values for winners, but with a minus sign. It might sound harsh, but bear with us. There’s actually a huge reason for that.

The previous point distribution allowed most players to quickly reach their respective leagues. However, those who prefer capturing beacons instead of head-on fighting got into a bad position. They rarely got more than 4 points per win, while losing 10-20 per every lose. If you wanted to climb, going full damage was THE way to go. Didn’t matter whether you won or lost — if you were hitting harder than anyone else, you were on the plus side anyway. Instead of teamplay, the situation promoted the unhealthy “hardcore loner” attitude.

And now you have to go for the win to get in a higher league. Dealing damage is as important as ever, but let’s face the statistics: most matches in War Robots are won by beacon control, not by elimination. Hence, play along with your teammates to climb the ladder faster.

The effort of swift flankers is much more lucrative now: if you prefer capturing beacons rather than fighting, doing your job should feel much more rewarding. And most importantly, there’s a real reason to play in squads now: a well coordinated team tends to win much more.

Should have just tweaked what we had before

I like the concept but instead of this:
Win    Loss
18     -12
16     -14
15     -15
15     -15
14     -16
12     -19

it might be nice if it were more like this:
Win    Loss
10       -2
8         -4
6         -6
6         -6
4         -8
2         -10

I don't understand why everyone actually cares about these league points. The rewards aren't worth it.

This is the only way the complaints will stop as far as I can tell:

Win Loss
+20 +15
+19 +14
+18 +13
+17 +12
+16 +11
+15 +10

and give the little swift beacon grabber guy +25.
