In which country will be the host of South America ?

@MasterGberry
A few questions.
1. For the few ladders that were removed,
a. Why were they removed
b. Could you compensate by adding similar ladders? The only issues I had were:
-Stalling in Skywars (especially if you were lagging and couldn't get there in time)
-Horse not traveling smoothly (It sometimes would pause randomly, possibly packet loss? TCPNoDelay might've helped that, but I think that would have improved on its own, due to the smaller server size for each matchmaking region)
-UHC was fun with infinite arrows, it made sense, as in UHC you have many arrows. It didn't have speed, so it was harder to dodge arrows, and the infinite arrows could also be used as a more powerful rod.

2. Would duels count as "unranked matches"? Or would they be infinite? Or, would you only be able to duel the other person unlimited amount of times using the kits that were unlimited that day? (Applying to non-donors). I know some content creators, albeit small, want to be able to record duels freely, and would like unlimited duels. I think that suppressing the amount of unranked matches per day would be more beneficial towards donations, which in return will improve the network, which is a good decision. However, duels shouldn't be restricted, for those wanting to record matches.

3. For the ranking system icons, could we make the icons less "Minecraft-like"? For one, I think the default textures are extremely appalling. And for the Masters, diamond sword, really? Also, instead of Emerald, could we change it to something like Jadeite (a green gemstone), or Platinum? Platinum is a metal, and isn't green, I know, obviously. But why do the colours matter? Starcraft uses Platinum, and it is silver, NOT GREEN! Jadeite would sound more professional than Emerald, if we were to use a green rank, for the specified reason you'll give me. Direct relation to something in-game would be awkward, especially in a competitive sense. For example, does "Legendary Eagle Master", or "Platinum" have to with CS:GO, or Starcraft? Not exactly, it'd kinda be awkward seeing an in-game rank like "AWP Master", or "Milky Way Lord", right? Emerald is kind of questionable like that too. Bronze, Gold and Diamond aren't too questionable, since other games have that too (Like LoL, CS:GO, Starcraft)

4. At the end of the season, could we be able to see our actual "ELO", in that sense (the true rating number of the MMR), and since some players may not like this system (I'm all for it, I think it's great that Minecraft Competitive PvP is taking this step, but some people like ELO better, since it's a "true measure of skill/consistency over a long number of matches"), could we have a vote to see how the players liked the system or not? If the majority of the playerbase liked ELO better, then we should revert back to ELO at the end of the Season.

5. I don't know how the Hit Detection or KB is yet, but all the changes seem great! How will the downtime be, and the Kohi merge be? Will the Practice Arena still be separated? Or will it merge? (Kohi KB imo is better than Badlion KB, first of all because of the smaller playerbase on the Practice servers, and it's generally better for pot kits.) I'm glad potlag will be fixed, because potlag on arena is EXTREMELY annoying. It's noticeable at peak times on Practice as well.)

Well, I'm extremely pleased with the changes so far, so, good job, Badlion dev team! I'm looking forward to Season 13, SG 2.0, and better hit detection, and better KB!

-JupiterPlays with the tangent boiiii

P.S. yas no more laggy 300ms south american players or as players with 50% delayed kb :(, badlion is becoming a GREATNETWORK!

If you read this @MasterGberry or @Staff, thank you for reading this, and I hope you can consider some of the changes I have suggested! Thanks, again.

I do not feel very good this host in Brazil because for us Ecuadorians do not carry a good ping in Brazil, will change HOST or will FS_Type EAST - SA SOUTH considering that Ecuador is not so close to Brazil which leads to have a bad ping being of South America.

Now, I can see where you are coming from But I will just copy what getthescmengh said before me and then ask some questions.


'' ''If I get put into NA Arena Lobby 5 and Archybot gets put into NA Arena Lobby 1 and we both join the BuildUHC and have a similar rating, then we will most likely end up playing each other. This is great because you can now play against people in the same region who are on other arena lobbies, expanding the BuildUHC ladder queue go from about 100 players per server to upwards of 300-500 players per region." ''
So if I fight a hacker with a similar rating on EU 1 and he kills me changing the lobby won't exclude that I could fight him again.''

Exactly what I was going to say.

Now, on to my questions, Why did you remove horse? and if you wont add it back, can you atleast keep it as a duel kit? Incase you know, someone wants to battle with horse kit.

And, I have a question about the UHC Meetup thing.

''Once at least 32 players have joined the queue a UHC Meetup match will start automatically. The maximum number of players that can be in a match is 64.''

How does that make sense? if a match starts automatically after 32 people join, you can't have more players than 32 seeing as no one will be able to join that queue anymore and it will just start a new queue. what you said makes no sense what so ever. just have maximum slots set to 32. It doesn't change anything if you have it to 64.

Looks like you won't change your decision, MasterGBerry, but I'll try one last time. As you can see most of UHC players don't want infinity to be removed from UHC kit. I also don't see any hype messages like "finally there's no more infinity in UHC". As well as I know only bow players play this ladder and care about this ladder. I've been playing UHC kit on badlion since summer 2014 and I didn't see that much people complaining about "bowspam". I respect badlion staff team cause they care about players's preferences, but right now you can see that this new feature is not what people want. You say that 64 arrows is enough for one match, but that doesn't mean you should change the UHC kit. For example let's pretend that nobody used more than a 100 of sword durability in Build UHC in s12, but you didn't change sword's durability to 100 because of that (that's just an example). 64 arrows will be enough for me to kill most of the players, but if I fight someone good it won't be enough. Hivlik has a video in which he fights Doe in UHC ladder, that match represents why players love UHC ladder, I'm sure both, Doe and Hivlik, used more than 64 arrows in that match. I'm sorry for my english, I hope you understood what I wanted to say. I know you probably tired of my messages but I want you to think again and maybe add arrows back. Ty for your attention.

Also have you ever thought about east Europe region? Can I hope for a region that is closer to Moscow than the existing ones?

Will practice now be wiped off of the lobby and it will only be season 13? Or will Arena and Practice still be seperate and Practice still have ratings that never reset and use all of the old Kohi systems? If it is gonna be Practice and Kohi seperate, then can we see our practice stats on the website?

64 arrows is plenty of ammunition. UHC was never meant to be a ladder where you literally waste 100s of arrows on.
