Well, the probelm for me is, that I don't feel the progress.

I don't mind getting stomped 200 rounds in a row, if I can follow that by 200 rounds of stomping. That is progress.

Higher "rank" is not a progress though. You are still a 50% win lame.

@LukeAlmighty @r000t I want the games to feel like they're close. That if one small decision was made differently, the outcome would have flipped. If I'm dramatically outclassing someone or getting outclassed, I lose interest in the details, and the outcome seems automatic, whether it's in my favor or not.

@NEETzsche @LukeAlmighty On the flip side, if I'm dramatically outclassing someone, they shouldn't be able to win the game because the outcome isn't actually skill-dependent.

btw if y'all play League why don't you play it w/ me?

@r000t @LukeAlmighty I don't play League, not really. I play Twitch, poorly, and only on occasion. I was discussing modern vidya ranking systems broadly.

I've gotten into MTGA recently

@r000t @NEETzsche
I asked you before, but you said, that you don't feel like having a casual noob teammate ;D

@NEETzsche @LukeAlmighty Another thing I can't fucking stand is the surrender system.

There should be absolutely no reason why two people can trap me in a game for 45+ minutes when it was very clearly lost at 10.

3 vote surrender should be allowed at 10 minutes and the system should snitch out whoever voted no. Continually voting no for games that turn out to be losses should result in irrevocable account termination.
