Well, while I’m on the subject of ladders, I suppose someone has to point this out so it may as well be me.
There is something very wrong with the way the TyD ladder scores are worked out imo.
Sure, there should be some reward for time played, after all, the player puts the effort in and helps to keep the ladder alive.
Yep, CTF is probably the most common mode in the game but play Death Match games as your preference and even if you’re excellent the less skilled player who concentrates on CTF fares much better with regard to ladder performance.
How is it possible to reach a high on the ladder with a negative ratio, a 4.5% team kill ratio and a way below average kill rate per hour played and a fratio of 25 for example.
Like it or not, the statistics speak volumes about the players skill and playing style.
Imo it would be good to encourage team play and what seems to be going on often is a clan flood the server with players and they launch themselves at the flag with no regard for their team mates or their own lives and get rewarded for it.
Idk, just seems wrong to me, hardly skillful playing is it?
Maybe some correlation between ratio, kill rate and score might help solve this?
Perhaps an increase in points for kills during Death Matches.
Anyway, I’ve said my bit and I’ll get out the way of the probable flying bricks.
