pretty sure it means finished games.
but the amount of games to get ranked depends for me on wheter it needs consecutive completed games or not.

OK. So consecutive probably means i have to complete first X games i have been assigned.

If this is the case i think it is OK rule and i agree with it.

Under current system, you could delay, say, your 14th and 15th games and finish your 16th and 17th to get the 15 game number and artificially inflate your rating temporarily. Then after you get your gold trophy you surrender 14th and 15th. Under the "consecutive games" system, no ranking would be bestowed until 1st-15th games finish, regardless of the results of 16th+ games.

Thanks Pushover for reply. I know that :)

Just that poll question is stated as

"
Require consecutive wins to achieve a rank
Right now, the ladders just require that you win X games to get a rank. Players have proposed using a system where those completed games must be consecutive, as a measure to fight intentional delays.

Keep it as it is -- you just have to win X total games.
Require that players win X consecutive games to achieve a rank
I don't know or don't care.
"

And this just confused me. If i missed something (and this is totally possible :) or what...

And i want to change to "consecutive games" system, but i don't want "Require that players win X consecutive games to achieve a rank" as is stated in poll.

I hope Final Earth will be voted over Heavy Earth.

If/when changes to the ladders are implemented.. Will the ladders be reset?

It'd be kinda weird of they didn't if there are major changes like a change of map.

Edited 9/2/2014 08:15:29

i think it's obvious. Most bc if the change are like to put TrueSkill, is not possible keep past record anyway.

Yeah, I just want it confirmed.

Also some questions are conditional towards others. Like for example with current 1v1 ladder rating system I would like no. of games before being ranked to increase, but with true skill I would like it to decrease.

best would be to make it in 2
steps. first decide the templates and rating systems, then decide how many consecutive games or how many games at all are necessary to get ranked. of course it's fizzers call, but it's difficult to vote if we don't know how one vote affects the other.

Why can't both 1v1 and 2v2 ladders have various templates and maps used too? Much like RTL has.
Not many, maybe 3-4, but just to add some variety or it gets dull really fast.

it is a good idea, but only if only 1 and 1 are ME earth based. Otherwise is useless put 3/4 template all earth based..

1v1 could be fixed with 1v1 MME and with randomized bonuses.
No need to even rotate templates.

+1000

Voted :)

Hope the changes happen ASAP!

While reading, i stumbeled over a small issue:

Require consecutive wins to achieve a rank
Right now, the ladders just require that you win X games to get a rank. Players have proposed using a system where those completed games must be consecutive, as a measure to fight intentional delays.

It's not wins, it's finished games ?!

Probably yes. But so far based on opinion of other players (see page one).

Best would be if Fizzer correct text in poll

So one vote per player or one vote per ladder-eligible account??

lol per player. Obviously.

Could someone spell out exactly what the 0% and SR luck changes would do for the ladder?
