rcarey fistoflife, tlcux, Orko, Mwah, Killer3366, Diamond to name a few
If you want more, I can name.
But I dont think naming great players that evryone know are good means anything or is an argument towards anything?
I'm tracking the average Qi ranked players win against.
If anyone figures out a way to only play against whitebelts it will show.
You're not the best player for beating some random 6th Dan who's never dueled, in your best mod, whenever you want. Just picking your opponent and picking your mod. You're the best player when you could get any of those guys listed, in not one particular mod, but instead ErthTk OR Judofrac OR lenshu3ng OR aikidobigdojo, and hang around a 3-2 score.
If you beat Killer3366 in a 3-1 in lenshu3ng, you deserve a lot more respect than going 45-3 against nobodies in judo.
This is the problem that needs to be adressed. By either matchmaking or elo restricted rooms.
Im something like 90W-19L in erthtkv2 right now. and 5-10 of the losses were against Moop, its just a testament to how easy it is to farm.
Going something like 10-7 agaisnt moop, fist or any decent TK player is 10x more impressive than getting a 10-> streak in public lobbies.
I think you overestimate how much ELO you get from beating beginners.
A 1680 player will only gain 0.36 ELO against a 1600, but those times you lose you go down 1.6. So to farm low elo players you need to maintain a 4/1 win ratio.
A smart player would seek out high level ELO players and beat them to both gain ELO faster and at the same time push down the other high ELO players.
Let's say someone manages to seek out weaker players the whole month and gain entry in the the final tournament. His skill won't be enough there anyways.
lol you guys are hilarous, what does hampa have to do if the players mentioned are barely active! most of the players you mention played a pretty low number of games.
the elo system is fine, it just needs time to balance itself out. That is noobs playing against good players..etc etc..
Maybe extending the season to two month would be good, but other than that..seems fine.

what the hell? be respectful man.
Honestly. I checked your games like a day ago, and you've only played TK.
in the end everyone, will play mostly in what they're good at. you can't force players to play other mods. it will count though in the end, in the tourney.
i'm the first for matchmaking, but if it doesn't work..well the current system is the best.
and how do you determine who is a skillful player and who is a noob?
Really anyone can stop the top 10 players is you guys should just stop complaint about the rank system and actually fight in tourneys. It's not like the players that fight the top ranked players not have a choice to then can just leave the lobby, there public tourneys. Tbh you kinda can't farm in public rooms/tourneys cause anyone can join.
