2016 League General Discussion Thread

Same thing here, dice server not working.

Mmmm!

I am new to the League, but think I am right that a high winning success rate against t3 players puts you in t1.

That is what has happened to me.

Surely it should only put me in t2?

[gamerman01]

You are 3-0 against tier 3 and 1-2 against tier 1, and you are toward the bottom of tier 1
If you can consistently beat tier 3’s, you will be in tier 1, yes, because that would be a 4.00 average

[Private-Panic]

Thanks for the reply Gamerman.

Understand that is how it works. Just think that this system overvalues my abilities! That consistently beating t3s might better put me in t2. Then beating t2s would put me in t3.

But unless others have said something similar in the past the vague ramblings of this League novice should not count for much.

I will just have to try to lose a few more …… :wink:

[gamerman01]

Yeah, if you’re really not tier 1 material, then one of the tier 3’s will beat you before too long.  You only have 6 games - keep playing and see  :-)

After 8-10 games, the PPG is usually quite accurate

But you know, many players don’t have the “never give up, never surrender” mentality - don’t discount the benefits of that tenacity!

Private Panic are you up for a game?  Beat down more Tier 3 newness!

Please point me at those that give up too easily! I will be an E in no time!

Thanks for the invite Patryn. I would love to play. But am currently involved in 6 games with more promised to a number of others when I can, so you are unfortunately at the back of a not very short queue!

My apologies.

I think the system is mostly reasonable. Winning 75% against t3s will put you in t2. You need to win at least 7 in 8 to reach tier 1.

A loss against Tier M is as good as a win against Tier 3 though.

[gamerman01]

If you can get a game with a tier M
And tier M players are 86-11, so yeah you get 4!

10 of those losses are to other tier M’s.  The other is to JuanSpain who is upper E and only 3 games completed
So yeah, if you can get a tier M to play you, you get 4 points

That said, thanks for the vote of confidence, simon (not sarcasm)

[gamerman01]

85-11
DeadHand isn’t tier M  :-D

No worries - I will catch you when your queue empties out!

[Karl7]

aren’t we in the 2017 league yet?

[Karl7]

Never mind.  :roll:

I see the rule was changed to Dec 31

[gamerman01]

A great opportunity to set new records!
For wins?
Or losses?
Or any number of other things

how about greatest negative TUV ever seen in a single battle?

[gamerman01]

at’s what I’m talkin’ 'bout!  :mrgreen:

[simon33]

Triple-A maps for global updated to incorporate:
BM 2.1
BM 2.1 + Combat Move before repair/purchase
2nd ed + Combat Move before repair/purchase

Removes Alpha+3

Note that 2nd ed with purchase before combat move is still available.

New maps need to be downloaded for the above.

[Karl7]

So has there been any fix to the fact that triple a 1.9 still shitts itself on a mac when the scramble prompt comes up?  It just flashes.

Seems to work if you minimise Triple-A each time the scramble box appears. Debateably playable.
