With the upcoming ranked changes (and leaks indicating that there will be a numerical xp value for ranking up) I would like to suggest an Elo safety net between ranked groups (i.e. Silver 3 ranked up to Gold 1)
Why should such a thing exist?
From my experience as a Bronze 3 (Peak Silver 1) player, when I ranked up to Silver 1, my first game as a silver player was ruined by an AFK on my team, and a smurf reyna who admitted that she was Diamond 2 who went 45 -3. We lost that game 2 -13. As per usual, I demoted back to bronze 3. That really ruined my motivation to play. I feel that an elo safety net would help players adjust to the next ranked group up. This would stop players getting frustrated in situations like mine.
How would this system work?
Since the leak indicates a base 100 system (between ranks) the safety net would work like this:
Iron to Bronze: 50 ELO safety net
Bronze to Silver: 42 ELO safety net
Silver to Gold: 34 ELO safety net
Gold to Platinum: 26 ELO safety net
Platinum to Diamond: 15 ELO safety net
Diamond to Immortal: 5 ELO safety net
Immortal to Radiant: No ELO safety net
Some of the nets are not multiples of 5 because not all game loss points are not multiples of 5.
Example:
Let's say Player X ranks up from Gold to Plat, going from 87 points in Gold 3 to 6 points in Plat 1.
In X's next game, he loses 5 - 13, losing X 22 points. Because of the low amount of points he has in Platinum, he has to use the ELO safety net, which means instead of going from 6 points to 84 points he goes from 6 to 10/26 safety net ELO. Now, he wins the next game 13 - 9. From this, he gets 16 ranked points. He is now at 26/26 safety net ELO or 0 points in Platinum. As he continues to win, he keeps gaining ELO.
NOTES:
This system is based on the ranked safety system in Call of Duty Mobile.
The points gained and lost are not depictive of the actual point amounts gained and lost.|
The amount of ELO safety net can be changed to make the game more fair if needed.
Please, feel free to ask questions and or Clarifications. This is just an idea I had and I wanted to know what the community here thinks.
