Noobs ruin everything in btanks. I'm not opposed to players learned how to play and graduating to join games on the ranked bot, but noobs should be FORCED to ONLY PLAY on the qualify bot. I was really excited about the league bots and I'm glad the map owners, devs, etc. have launched them, but something has to be done. More than 50% of my games are ruined - and I mean totally fucking ruined - by noobs. They are either aggressive and feed, or they have no hp, or they don't know how to defend. They ALWAYS screw the team by empowering the other team with money and causing your team to lose CPs.
Noobs make a bigger difference in games than pros. Period.
2 noobs on one team will cause any team with 0-1 noobs to win regardless of the other circumstances.
I propose the entry requirements for the ranked bot have another check in addition to % stay:
Option 1: If a player has been kicked out of x number of their last 20 games, they cannot join the ranked bot. Many noobs don't always get kicked bc the game ends too quickly, if there are more than one they refuse to vote each other off, etc. So I propose x = 3-4.
Option 2 (Best): check for K:D of last 20 games. If it's below a threshold, don't allow the play to join ranked bots. good players almost always have > 1:1 ratios and noobs almost always have drastically worst ratios, like 0-10 or 4-12. If a player gets better over time, their last 20 games will show this and they can graduate to ranked.
Please fix this. It's seriously not fun to play.
