Special Developer Log #4 - Moving away from ELO and S13

MagRogue wrote

Why did you choose Emerald instead of Platinum but Silver instead of Iron…
Platinum sounds 10x cooler than Emerald and makes it feel like a rating system not a Minecraft rank on some random server.


+1 Minecraft-oriented rating names are cringe

S13 looks great, especially if rod kb is turned back down, because right now it's pretty bad.

Love the new rating system, but I agree the names are a bit cringe.

Will the ranked playerbase's ratings fall on a standard bell curve? Would something like Silver I be the average?

The problem with most MC rating systems has been the skew around the seed rating since people often stopped playing if they were consistently falling below it. Hopefully these tiers and the twenty 'placement' fights will fix that.

Will stats still show in a player's page? (K/D ratio)
How will 2v2/3v3/5v5 work?
Will there be much higher waiting time for high tier players?
Thx

The distribution using the rating system will be more normal than as if we used the ELO rating system according to this season's data.

How will we know who is number 1 now with this system? With these ranks ,people will play just to get the highest rank possible wich will reduce the competivity dramaticaly . I like this system but i think this will be a pretty big problem.

The leaderboards sort by rating so people will know who is #1

This question is for you GBerry
Why do you try to copy league of legends divisions?
Like I get it that you don't want elo anymore because no one uses it but its pretty weird for old players like us,
I play league of legends and you can see your LP (League Points)
Will we be able to see our "Points" to be able to know when we rank up or no?
Plus, make the divisions like this
Bronze - Silver - Gold - Platinum - Diamond - Masters - Challenger <– theyre identical to League of Legends ranks

No one can get 3k Elo because Elo doesn't exist anymore.

It's nice to see this finally explained. Let's hope that Season 13 becomes the best yet :D

EDIT: Now I'll actually how good I am and not be ashamed of myself when 1200's wreck me :(

When the community said fix the elo system we didn't mean fuckign remove it. We meant make us fight similar elos, this new system is honestly awful

@Archybot could you maybe make an item in the hotbar which showed your rating and 10 other people's rating around it so we could tell who we have to beat, instead of going on the forums. Like our number on the whole network.

And in the ending on season 13 do we get a choice to vote about the system?

What I like about the new ranking system is I don't lose 9999 elo against a 1400 randy
