Have to agree with Dave, if I look back at the last few month I feel like I (and Masper who rose pretty much in lookstep with me) had no problems rising through the ranks due to what Dregs described ( I sometimes tripped myelf up by trying new things which caused me to drop a bit until i got the hang of it, but that is like it is supposed to be)
The root of the problem that Dregs describes seems very much alive though, too many people obsessed with ranks/elo.
No use!!!
Focus on having fun and improving your play, elo will follow automatically.
"...for people that get their color from MM... "
Is there any such player?
If anything this is what should be changed/adjusted. It's ridiculous that f.e. DanWarior is still silver when hes one spot ahead of Psaniac who could go purple any time(dont mind cabinboy or Psaniac being purple, but clearly Dan is much stronger then quite a few blues).
I dont think I ever saw an account where color was decided by mm rank.
Finally, perhaps we should rather discuss at what pointintentionally lowering your elo becomes problematic for the community? Because this is most certainly happening.
I dont care that much in 1v1 or FFA but at some point that could influence Lobpot balance quite drastically.
