IMO, the coolest leaderboard format would be: - Winning: earn points equal to your opponent's ratio * 10
- Losing: lose points equal to your own ratio * 10
This leaderboard would be a constant over/under display of who is performing at a level above what their spar ratio suggests. If your ratio is an accurate representation of how you spar, you'd essential balance around 0 points.
If you spar better than what your ratio suggests, you'd go into the positives (probably no higher than 1000), and if you spar worse than what your ratio suggests, you'd go into the negative (probably no lower than 1000).
Why can't we have something like that though? People would fall back into the mold of sparring carefully, avoiding people, etc. It sucks, but that's just how this community seems to be.
I like that people are queuing generously now and sparring as often as possible without the "stress" of feeling like they can potentially lose their precious spar points. |
The only way any of that would work is by
blindly queuing and not knowing who you can end up sparring against. Making a system in which you queue anywhere on the map, and it tells you "searching for opponent, opponent found, starting match" then it warps you to an arena where you fight someone you didn't know would be there. This would make spar matches
instant, and people can't selective spar.
Edit: And they could keep streak, and have it as a viewing room like the ones for gst, so everyone can watch(anywhere on map) a bad ass sparrer break the current streak record.
