How does the new scoring affect you?

I'm down just a bit in league points because currently I'm in a phase where MM wants me to lose (win % temporarily too high).

Oddly, my avg damage is up almost 50k.

I took a huge dive. 9/10 all knifer hanger diamond 1 iOS. I refuse to moderate my damage or manipulate my standings, so I was sitting at 520K damage avg swing between 55-60% wins. I got hit with a double whammy today, between the mid ranger cowards during the afternoon, and the full on heavies coming out to actually play this evening, I've won two games out of 20. Down to 495K 42% and lost 45 league points and down to diamond 2.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a rant. I think we're all actually adjusting to the right rungs now and I'm having a blast with the competition. When a mid league, mid talent player like me has higher damage and kills than the guys in diamond 1/expert there's something wrong...

im still seeing the rubber band effect as well, I go from 60% to 40% and then back to 60% all day everyday, I thought that was supposed to work itself out?

I'm up over 120 league points after one day, after weeks of crawling up slowly (from Android silver 1 to Gold 3). Game quality is way up. Both sides are trying to win again. Seen the occasional tanker on either side but generally good matches despite that. Haven't seen any rubber banding yet.

Down over 200 not that it matters much anymore. League placement is neat I guess but it doesn't mean anything does it?

Been in solo play mostly lately but that total is squad action too. I used to do mostly squad but most the squad is above me. I fight uphill all the time if I squad. No gold and low finishes are normal, we tend to win but there isn't much of a point boost, you'd have to win a lot or all your matches to beat the math. Team play is generally good, but like I said its tough just keeping up, getting a match where I excel probably needs the other 5 to all have a bad game. Yaay but meh.

Solo play is a joke, putting a lead on the board and watching it evaporate over and over is pretty lame, you'd think 4-1 blue would be a good sign, well you'd be wrong. Occasional gold but above average loss, more than enough to offset any squad gains. Maybe there is a technique to this tier of play, if someone knows it, post away. Very meh, yawn and no thanks I'll pass come to mind.

I've resisted squad play because I seem to trail the pack consistently and feel like I'm holding them back. My hangar can't hang well with the reds I get, and I have to play at a stellar level just to keep up. Not sure what the answer is there, but feeling like the anchor on the boat doesn't pan out to helpful team mate or fun play. Have a rough day or a string of bad luck (whatever) and you can easily drop a hundred plus points in one sitting. At minus 20 or 18 or whatever it is anymore, it doesn't take much. Add it up over a week or two, a giant swing in points seems plausible. Trying to get caught up in solo hasn't panned out, I'm losing points at pretty good bleed rate and the scoreboard is almost cryptic. 240k and 10 gold, 650k in a loss, games with randoms are kinda dumb.

Not gonna comment on a fun factor, seems that isn't a welcome part of the game or forum anymore.

Have a nice day.

It's just been one day, but I played 10 games or so yesterday and won 8 of them. Just the breaks. I'm sure I will go on a losing streak soon.

I like the leagues for incentive. But the change in points just seems too hard. If we assume a player averages a finish in all positions equally and they win 50% of the time, then you don't get or lose points. That I get. But let's say the player wins 60% of the time, that's +150 points per 100 games played. It will take 600 games to league up after diamond. That's as long as they come in first just as much as last.


And forget about leveling a new bot. There goes your 60% or your #1 or #2 finish.



Check my math. But that's how I see it.

I think there is a bonus for squad play. I get more points than the squad average when I win and I had a -10 cup score on a loss. Squading actually seems to be seriously improved.

FU Pixonix for making me lose like 5 times in a row because my win rating was hight so you put me against reds thats 2 leauges higher then me. Went from 2180ish to 2123 in 5 losses in a row FU!!!

Well you get gold for moving up in leauges so i do care about winning.

When your skill outweighs your hangar by enough, you will get to a place where you can't do enough damage to earn enough Au or Ag for moving up a league to be worth it.  It is better not to advance too much until your equipment is leveled up.


The new points system is better in this regard.

Since the new league scoring, so far iOS is basically the same. Android my win % is down to 38%, largely due to ditchers, and my league score has dropped about 180 pts. Android I had been holding steady or slightly climbing before the new scoring.

This is a great, measured point of opinion. I thought about it also. There are some mixed intentions on this game. They are all good, but it got so mixed so it got clouded.

I agree, that individual achievements should be accounted INDIVIDUALLY. That's what other games does. Individual achievements can be reached on random matches, while team achievements can be reached on clan/squad matches. That way, there's no person should be penalized for the actions of random players, players we can't choose.

When the leagues first went online (was it February?), I was placed into Expert 3.

With the original league point distribution, I stopped caring about beacons and only went for damage. As a result, my win % went from high 80s down to low 40s. But I advanced to Expert 1 in the time between the Leagues starting and the point distribution change. I mostly played solo because for some reason I did better solo that squadding with my clan. I did not check the strength of the opposition after the battles so I don't know if I was matched with lower league players on my team or what, but I was consistently scoring 1st or 2nd damage when on the losing side.

Now that the league scoring has changed and beacons matter again, I reverted back to my previous play style. This past weekend I played a lot, and moved from Expert 1 to Master 3. All I have noticed it that I see even fewer names/clans I do not recognize.

Overall, I think the league system is working as intended. It does suck to go on a losing streak but while I was moving up through Expert I went on a 10 game win streak one day. I guess it evens out in the end.
