League System Development: Division Icons Wanted
-
I suggest Bronze --> Silver --> Gold --> Master --> Grandmaster --> Supreme Commander.
I don't really like military ranks or platinum/diamond stuff...
The highest division should have a cool name, maybe Supreme Commander, though that's a bit boring. Maybe Legend (or Legendary Commander) or Champion would be nice. Anyway I think the highest one should be a bit more creative. -
Gaining title of the game it self seems pritty worthy rank to obtain.
-
T1 mex, T2 mex, T3 mex, RAS SCU, Paragon...
Icons are finished, voila. -
I think Recruit ---> Sergeant ---> Lt. Colonel---> General ---> Support Commander ---> Supreme Commander
Something like that would be cool -
Bronze -> Silver -> Gold -> Platinum -> Master -> Supreme Commander would be nice
-
Supreme Commander should be the final tier
-
Supreme Commander is too boring lol.
Bronze --> Silver --> Gold --> Master --> Grandmaster --> Legend
-
Bronze --> Silver --> Gold --> Master --> Grandmaster -->
Prodigy / Mastermind / Supreme / Supreme League / (Total) Annihilator / AL (Annihilation League) / ABU (Armoured Brain Unit) / Leveler / GC (God Commander) / Elite
-
Supreme Commander is Supreme.
New Icons would be nice, but old icons would still be better if was used still otherwise.
Icons in general would still just be new with the new system.Keep the standards, when still changing the game.
-
Regardless of which suggestion is taken, I think the final division (whether it's Grandmaster or Supreme Commander) should also show a numerical ranking denoting your position in the leaderboard (e.g., Grandmaster #1, Grandmaster #32, etc.)
-
@archsimkat could be a possible large number with that listing. Maybe first top 100 in each is eligible for such highlight or 250 even.
-
Maybe we could highlight best 100/250 players as Grandmaster, and call the best 10 or 20 the 'Supreme Commanders'?
-
Have you guys looked at how many people are at rating ranges before throwing out ideas? The top 250 is basically anyone over 1300. The breakdown of how divisions are assigned isn't going to be changed now; it's about the names/icons for the current breakdown.
-
Also might as well as post this idea I was throwing around a month ago
Military Ranks:
Otherwise yeah, just
Bronze -> Silver -> Gold -> Platinum -> Master -> Supreme Commander
-
@ftxcommando Go with Grand Marshal but i still support this a lot^^
-
@Cascade I like the idea of the second highest tier being “Support Commander”, although it’s visually very similar to “Supreme Commander” and has the same initials.

Do you have the breakdown of the rating ranges?

<300 is 2 divisions

Maybe we could use the old Supreme Commander icon for the final tier?

I think supreme commander is the most straight forward and rewarding rank for the bosses. I would only award it to the top 10 or maybe even top 5 players. Then it would be a reasonable and cool challenge to obtain, and it would mean something in our little faf world. I pictuee a stream, and people discussing who is supreme commander or who might become the next, and people meming about it. Even aoelus bots might auto spam: supreme commander (bennis) has entered aoelus, all bow to him. good way to make it desirable and interactive. Rating decay must be part of it, given low activity of top tier players, and decay should be fierce to make people login more often than once a month. Im thinking a rating decay of 10 rating per week is a simple number and reasonable. Lose 40 rating after one month of inactivity, surely hurts but hey, if you dont play you aint no supreme commander.
Regarding the other ranks: i think there is no need to go beyond bronze silver gold master grandmaster and supreme commander. Its proven systems, everybody has a feeling for a ranks worth and it provided enough motivation to grind towards a new bracket.
I think what's missing in this thread is actual mmr for each of the brackets so here is my proposal. It should be linked to the gauss distribution of ratings ideally, but because i dont know these i just come up with some wild and reasonable guesses. So either fixed absolute rating brackets or percentile based brackets.
I think absolute rating makes more sense, because active ladder player numbers are highly volatile, e.g. the number of active 1800+ ladder players fluctuates between 2 and 15 depending on tourneys etc. So percentile of active players isnt really meaningful.
My proposal :
BRONZE: -1000 (ftx level of 1v1 skill) - 500
SILVER: 500-1000
GOLD: 1000-1500
MASTER: 1500-2000
GRANDMASTER: 2000- TOP 10
SUPREME COMMANDER: 2000- top 10 (5)What do you think??
