As a player who is not a donator I only get 10 Ranked matches a day, and often think I'm saving them for when I'm warmed up and then I end up forgetting about it. When I do play, I find it very hard to up my ELO because I keep getting paired with 1800's and 2000's which means that I lose ELO then I have to wait until the next day to play again, only to lose more ELO (potentially). What I'd like to see is a Brackets system where you have tiers according to ELO e.g. (1301 - 1500 Bracket) (1501 - 1700 Bracket) etc. This would mean that players like me without donator can rank up against others with the same skill level and gradually make our way up the tiers. This would be a very good thing to install to the already great servers. However, I have already asked some others on the server who say that you'll need a big playerbase ONLINE, so I've made a table which would make this possible.

Tier 6: 0 - 1300 <— These guys…..
Tier 5: 1301 - 1500 <— Most players
Tier 4: 1501 - 1700 <— Average Badlion player
Tier 3: 1701 - 1800 <— Mostly Donators
Tier 2: 1801 - 2000 <—-OP guys who rek in seconds| Quite a few actually
Tier 1: 2000 - INFINITY<—– Less but plenty online

This table is susceptible to change (Obviously) but is good because it pairs fairly and provides a good system where it get harder as you get more ELO. I don't have access to all the Server stats but I feel this is the closest I could get to FAIR. If there is ever a shortage of players in the tiers, you can add a countdown system where if there is no match over 30 seconds the player is taken to the closest tier to be paired up. e.g. ( No players but you in Tier 1 -> 30 wait to see if anyone joins -> Added to Tier 2 list.) and so on and so on. A lot to ask I know, but it's the concept that is being suggested here :)
Thanks,

+1 I've been thinking about something similar to this as well, it would be good because I have 1900 elo in archer and I keep getting paired with 1300s and I get no elo.So thats 10 matches getting like 5 elo…

I'm pretty sure this was suggested before but IMO Badlion is still not big enough to have this. It's a good idea though.

There was once a system like this, but everybody hated it and constantly complained about it because it took a long time to get matches. If you can get an unfair match after a bit, I don't see the point in it happening.

Plus you can't really get better then you're now if you're playing with people good as you or worse.

+1 but with what Serendipity_ said. Maybe we could just have it for the bigger matches just for mcsg and some others.) :) or ranked matches for ppl with same elo and clikc a dfferent item to play with randomers :P

This was put in place before, and everyone hated it. Never again.

@MasterGberry @Archybot for confirmation

Can confirm

Not happening anytime soon. If we were hitting 4k ppl on PotPvP alone during peak we would look into it..otherwise not enough players in the pool.

I don't even care about getting fights against people better than me. I hardly lose any elo when I lose, but if I win I've drained them. It's pretty entertaining.

It is very hard once you get passed 1700 to get your Elo up. If we had to face similar skill levels all the high elos would get mad and no one could rank up. It should just stay how my is.
