Look, I don't like the zero point phenomenon. Like @Rooatouille above, a bare minimum points gained for a win needs to be implemented. The 150 point loss setup is fine. There needs to be some risk factor in this system.
Implement a minimum point gain is necessary. But more importantly, ZoS needs to open up ToT to everyone. If you follow the number of qualified ranked players per season, and I do to an extent, it is trending downward. We had ~1400 qualified about 4 seasons ago. Then down to around ~1200 and, if memory serves, below that last season. We are close to seeing less than 1k qualified ranked players in a season and that's going to become a problem. Obviously, the rank system appears to have set some off the game but keeping the potential player pool tightly restricted atm isn't helping anything either.SilverBride wrote: »This is why it should just be based on how many wins and how many losses. A skilled player is going to win more and will continue to advance up in rank and a less skilled player won't. There will always be some RNG involved but in general this makes way more sense.
They could still apply points for each to make keeping score easier, but it should be the same amount each time. 100 gained for a win, 100 lost for a loss.

I was #12 yesterday. It took dozens and dozens of consecutive victories (winning 0 to 20 points) to reach that place. Just in 2 losses got 300 points stolen from my score and dropped below #100. It's so pathetic!

You need to keep in mind that its not the rank that gets to me because you can have 50 ppl really close in rank and one game match where you lose 60 points can cost you 50 ranks in this case.
Its the situation that you win 0 points when you win or if you are lucky 12 points. and lost 150 lose. its the 0 there and huge difference in what you can win depending on your rank what should be changed IMO.
I haven't played anymore. We still haven't received a reaction from the devs on this and it truly disappoints me with all do respect for what they have done to give us an awesome game here.
