Palladium 2.4K+

There are only about 10-15 active purples on the leaderboard right now, and top 18 is still blue, sort of far from purple. 3.1k elo is still barely just not enough to get purple.

We made the 2.4k+ elo because there used to be 40 active purples. that number has decreased by 75%. So, we should revert back the the normal 2.2k+ elo, or even 2.0k+ elo. 2.0k is still pretty good.

Anyways, thats my proposal. Make palladium 2.2k+ so we dont have to make a custom lobby every time we want to play palladium.

I'd rather agree than disagree.

Presumably recent server resets have recalibrated what level of skill corresponds to what rating, but I don't think looking at the threshold for purple tells us much that is useful about Palladium (since the Palladium threshold is way below the purple threshold).

I don't have particularly strong feelings about where the Palladium threshold should be set within the 2.2k-ish to 2.4k-ish range. If opinions continue to lean towards making it lower I think I would be fine with doing that.

An alternative is just to set Palladium to "dark blue or purple" but rank hysteresis makes that pretty janky.

Trojaner_ TAW is currently 30/32, with mor than enough players to start palladium. Palladium occurs once in the day, and 90% of the time during palladium, TAW is also active with a high amount of players.

Also, what you stated does not answer my initial request in the slightest, because I asked to lower the minelo to 2.2k+ This will not change when palladium occurs, or how often it occurs, since we always create a different lobby for that, with an even lower minelo.

Since there don't seem to be any objections (other than to the existence of Palladium at all) I will go ahead and set Palladium to 2.2k+. Happy to hear further feedback.
