I'll do my best. If this is going to be a thread for serious discussion, Dan, you know I'm more than up for that. I'm not sure if NJ is, though.
I can agree with the Hall of Fame idea, actually. The idea of honorable mentions is silly, and arguably if you want to have your name somewhere you should be ranked...
... Which brings me to something I've been meaning to put forward for a while: 10 slot ranking list. From what I've seen the 11-15 slots are always relatively ambiguous, and for a fairly straightforward reason: the people in these positions aren't typically placing high enough for it to be considered for character rankings. It also inflates the list, making it have less weight.
Jut a thought. I've always had the opinion that I'd rather not be ranked than be in the 11-15 positions, and believe me when I say I like to be identified for skill that I have; just ask any of the Juice people I played WoW with.
THIS! Also, I kinda agree with the top 10 idea for all the reasons you said. We have a lot of GOOD players after the top 10. We don't have a lot of ZOMG I WANT YOOOOOOU FOR THE REGIONAL CREW BATTLE players after the top 10. Being ranked 15th is like nothing, as is honorable mention. Panel, thoughts?
I think first thing to talk about is rules of the season
Season Starting
Season Ending
etc
And also lets weigh in some stuff like
Player vs Player
how much is beating ???? worth
i think it was a bit too opinionaded to begin with
i think thats a great starting discussion :D
btw i know theres rules and elibgbility but i simply think its too bland
Some arousing questions too while i'm at it
IF the season goes on for too long, For example 5 months, Do wins and losses at the beginning of the season diminish over time (this is what i'm talking about weighing in) or do they simply stay the same
Prime example of this is something like will or dabuz or whatever
Another question
Low tiers and Character Banned Tournaments, Do they count? Any reasoning on that?
and 1 more
How do you weigh in wins you can't simply be like "LOL INUI IS RANKED 4th DAT MEANS IF U BEAT HIM UR 3rd NOW"
How exactly does that work because i've always been curious about that
i think this is a good way to start off the thread :D
That is a good question, because I'm on the panel, and I actually forgot when this season ends.
When we make the rankings, we add up the accomplishments of a player. Basically, we compile a list of the player's notable wins, and compare it to the notable wins of the player around them. When two players are extremely close in accomplishments and we are trying to decide which one to put higher, head to head matches count more than normal.
Seasons are only supposed to go on for three months. However, we have had long seasons and short seasons. A win at the beginning of the season doesn't necessarily diminish over the course of the season, but a win later in the season can be worth more (or sometimes less) than it was earlier, even if it was against the same person, if that person's performance had changed on average throughout the season. For instance, beating Zucco at the beginning of the season would have been impressive, but to beat him now after his accomplishments at BRII would be more impressive, as he's slated to be ranked higher.
Beating a ranked player doesn't give you their rank, but it is obviously really good if you're trying to get ranked. If I beat ADHD, it's a huge accomplishment, and would push me ahead of Zucco for third this season, but ADHD still beat Ally, Atomsk, Meep, and many other amazing players this season, so his accomplishments still outweigh mine. Atomsk beat ADHD, Neo, I think Ninjalink, and many other amazing players, so his accomplishments still outweigh mine. We always look at and compare lists of accomplishments. Losing doesn't really count against you, unless we are really hard pressed in head to head comparisons.
Then shut the **** up, you annoying pest. you dont know my reasons behind it.
omg theres already hate in this thread and its only page 1
lmao, you mad Kelvin? Obviously I was joking. It's done already because I have no desire to fight with Ksizzle and have only love for him, so if he wants to continue on this path he's on his own.
