How are the points calculated in the ranked beta?

And wasn't that your aim? Remaining as an underdog? :wink:
If you don't like public games, don't join them.

Offtopic: current league beta is more advanced than the current map

The public games argument is kinda low really. Its not that I dont enjoy public games its again (for the humpteenth time) constantly playing with teams that I have no chance in hell to win with. There's a difference here which I've outlined pretty well above.

The problem can be resolved later by a specific bot for high elo players ^_^

There is stil the problem of some players who avoid "top players" to not lose points....

You want an active league with the top players actually playing the game to keep their spot. You dont want people that selectively plays games just to grab a specfic amount of points or a position. The league shouldent be something that is just dead after a few weeks or less it should be something people keep playing in order to be competitive. At least thats my view on it.

I've never avoided a game just because there's another player in it, the downside is that the game is usually decided as soon as you enter the game and see how the teams are :roll:

So err, after fiddling some with the numbers it seems that in most games I get the worst team but is still defined as the probable winner which means that I will loose more points for a loss and win less points for a win.

Which is exactly like it should be. Otherwise it would be just a mass gaming thing, but with this system it becomes deciding how long you can win enough games to overcompensate the points lost when losing.

Mkay, trying to explain myself a tad better this time. Addressing the underlined section.

Obviously playing a lot of games shouldent be rewarded and getting less points for each win the higher the score is something that is seen on pretty much every ladder there is and this is how it should work. The problem is (I just keep saying the same thing..) that you're also getting worse teams the higher you climb. I have not played a single game or ladder where you also have to deal with having a worse team the higher you get.

I'm guessing the reasoning behind it is that there should be even games, right? Problem is that right now the teams just arent balanced in any way and should the rest of a team really be punished just because you happen to get a high ranked player on your team?
