New league
Author: DAroo Created: 27 May 2010 Edited: 27 May 2010, 21:13 by DAroo
Populous Reincarnated has released a new system for players league. Players win points by winning games but also can loose their points and degrade their rank. New system bases on players' skill and to increase you rank you need to play and win games with higher ranked players. Together with league IncaWarrior has publicated few tools for players but, like many other tools, they are hidden on the website.
It's good to see some progress after longer stagnation in populous community. New league system however has also some problems - it's still quite inaccurate and got problems with negative points. Players have also doubts about rating unexpected situations. I hope that with time it'll become more accurate and tools for players, like team generator or skill graph, will be more accessible for users.

poor new system, players only play for points by now...
There is no fun to play like that, and if you are shaman and lose to a wildman you downgrade quicky :(

Players ever have been playing for points. Trying to noobbash is risky now. They might be fakers. Just don't play them. What sucks with it is that the implemention is buggy and has several systematic flaws in it. Inca does not really understand what he is doing there.

The new system is perfect. Way much better than teh point gathering system which made no sense at all... Being a shaman means something now!

No way, the ranking system is inaccurate.

Negative points aren't problems, they just depend on the range the league is scaled into.
