Increase the Required Games

Postby ruainn » Mon Mar 27, 2023 7:31 am

Currently, 50 Classic games are required to play Ranked Practice (RP), and 10 RP games are required to play ranked. While, all game modes are toxic as fuck, ATM, due to the influx of kids, from the mobile app being free, just extend the requisite number of games to participate in these games.

I refuse to play RP and Ranked, solely, because the skill level is so low that people don't even understand the concept of Random Town (RT). We're not even talking about throw games, here...

I propose 250 Classic games, 50 RP games, before ranked. This solves 2 issues - 1) phantom accounts (people who join, then "afk") and 2) banned users who just want to troll (way too easy to get 60 games played). This could also be offset by requiring wins with the current boundaries, but that's sort of poor, given the competition....

Also, set up a Classic mode for people who have played for more than 500 games. Too many new players are too intimidated to type anything, even if they aren't afk.

I agree with the Classic. Playing the rolelist is fun, but the players in the gamemode make it frustrating. (To be fair, though, the gamemode is pretty unforgiving towards evils thanks to TP/LO, that's also why experienced players avoid it.)

I suggest to combat gamethrowing that Coven Ranked should be popularized instead. Because you have to actually pay to play, there are less throwers and toxic people in general. Change the Ranked rolelist a little and Coven Ranked is super fun, since people are serious and understand what they're doing. Honestly, I've seen people in CAA who know the game better in Classic Ranked.

I feel like a combined total of 300 required games is a bit excessive. Maybe a smaller increase would be nice, but requiring a combined 300 games before you can play ranked would probably turn a lot of people off of the gamemode.

I agree with this. Depending on how often you play 300 games will require you to consistently play the game for at least a couple months. I would say 100 or 150 games would be better. Up to about 100 games I still didn't know how a few of the roles worked which should be the bare minimum for Ranked. After that there's a tradeoff between experience and being reasonably easy to obtain.

My suggested number for Classic may be excessive; but, I was just throwing a number out, to let other people weigh in. No one disagreed with the RP number, though...

Maybe I should just play Coven...will try in a bit but the queues are long for anything but All/Any, and I don't know the roles that well, so then I'm the asshole...

50 classic, 50 RP games before you can play ranked, and when you are a new player you should be more likely to roll roles that you've never played before to increase the odds that you can have experience with each one in the role list

Maybe that'd make sense in RP, but Ranked is kinda supposed to be the one mode where everyone has equal chances of getting each role

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I meant that to be for RP only

I mean, people don't want to play 300 games for ranked. You're just solving/pushing back the "phantom account" issue but forgetting that the people not using a phantom account don't want to do that many games.
