Level requirement for competitive + Party function without ranking

(Yahiko94) #1

Hey guys,

I just played a few competitive matches and there are many improvements needed.

My buddy and me, we played competitive for a reason. We just dont want to join a server with “Quick Join” as I don’t get into the team of my buddy everytime. So we were forced to play competitive.

But the problem was that the matchmaking is a joke. We got three other Lvl. 5 players who just had no plan what to do in this game. They even didnt play Stopwatch. The competitive matches is not a competition at all. Its just dominating or being dominated by the enemies.

As I asked these Lvl.5 players, they said: They just want to use the party function to be in a group.

So I have an idea to change this:

  • New Game mode:
    [list]
  • unlocked for all Lvl. 5 players or above
  • normal match where premade group plays against premade group
  • but no effect to the ranking system
  • different group size in the teams allowed (for example: 5 vs 3 + 2)
    [/list]
  • Competitive Match:
    [list]
  • unlocked for all Lvl. 10 players or above
  • only equal amount and size of groups in a team, for example 5vs5 or [3+2]vs[3+2] and so on…
  • required a specific amount of played stopwatch matches, so they are used to this mode (optional)
  • atleast 3 or more unlocked mercs (optional)
  • merc limit, for example: only 1 rhino per team on the map (not in squad!) at the same time
  • and so on…
    [/list]

The new game mode would be nice for those who wanna play in a group without being affected by the ranking system.

The requirements for the competitive match would be 100% fair. And it ensures that there are only experienced players playing this mode. If not there will be alot of noob bashing, “fake ranks” and a lot of raged players.

Merc limit prevent for example that there are no 4 rhinos camping in Underground map :slight_smile:

They really need a party system for casual games.

I can honestly say I see no issues with the above mentioned fixes except for the " only equal amount and size of groups in a team, for example 5vs5 or [3+2]vs[3+2] and so on…" feature as I doubt many people will be able to find games like that, personally I play competitive solo so I’d either need to find 4 solo players, or a team of 4, or 2 teams of 2, etc etc.

The level limit of 5 is fine, my clan has played team games together for over 10 years over multiple different games, It would have put multiple people off if they had to grind up to level 10, pub games are not as fun for us.

Were now a mixture of level 6/8 players and are winning way more than we are losing at gold 4/5. We enjoy the challenge we still get rolled every now and again but are learning rapidly.

Ranked matches should purely be decide by you skill. Not by your in game level which means nothing more than you have played for X amount of time.

TL:DR People who want to play competitive games don’t want to be forced to play pub.

You are right, game level doesnt say anything about your skill. But it says much about your experience in this game.

You are playing with clanmates and you are winning? Nice for you, but the others will get the problem as they are almost randoms. If the competetive mode should be 100% fair for both teams, then it only should allow “premade vs premade”…

I dont know any games where randoms have the same chance to win as premade groups.

Please don’t make parties be able to play against a bunch of randoms in pub matches.

That will never ever end well.

My friends and I have lots of fun playing against each other, it adds to the banter in ts.
