Fizzer acknowledges most new players would get a stroke if they tried using more than one brain cell, so the first templates avoid mental overexertion

The fourth template is MME, so once you get there you can just uncheck Small Earth and never play it again.

You really overblow how much it takes. Its easy to get to mme

Honestly if you are lvl 50+ or so QM should simply give you the first 7 templates for free.

Long live the real-time-ladder!

RIP RTL: 2014-2018

It had a good life.

Adding the RTL to the app/quickmatch page would be a first step, or even just add a button beneath "Quickmatch" that says "Real Time Ladder".

I could do the programming for that. But yeah, reseting the ratings every year would be a nice touch.

And while we're at the policy of the RT Ladder, why not improve the other ladders?

Bring up the minimum game count to get ranked on the 1v1 ladder from 20 to 30. This really should've been implemented especially considering there was nothing achieved with the stalling thread.

I understand the fundamentals of the game must be upheld to please the masses to bring in the revenue to the game. Though simple Changes can really go a long way.

Bring up the minimum game count to get ranked on the 1v1 ladder from 20 to 30.

Go away.

If the 1v1 ladder copy-pasted the true ELO math, then the maximum number of games to get ranked on the 1v1 ladder could only be 25. After 25 games, ELO calculates scores using a different K factor, which reduces volatility per games after 25. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system#Mathematical_details for better explanation

Edit: I have no idea what I'm talking about, apparently new players now have K=40 until 30 games

Just ignore me ^_^

I like where you are going linberson.

If you are member you should have some QM templates unlocked!

"Bring up the minimum game count to get ranked on the 1v1 ladder from 20 to 30"

You could also change it so that you are not ranked until all 20 games you were allotted first are completed. This would end almost all stalling cases. If that's too stringent, you could do 25 games minimum, with a requirement, that the first 17-20 games allotted be completed.
