Ladder resets

[teal6]

Would it be possible to rename the ladders per season? The way I'm thinking about it would be like how it is handled for OMs that fall off the ladder - they remain on your /rank score, but are no longer available to be played.

So it'd be something like:

UU Sum15 1600 50 10
UU Fall15 1480 24 8
UU Win15 1200 10 1 (this is the current ladder, and available to be played)

The only problem with that is that it will clutter up /rank really, really fast. They could expire after three cycles or so, but then it wouldn't be permanent.

Maybe make it so doing /rank displays current ladder ranks but making the PS rank section here allow people to showcase the ranks they are proud of. Or alternatively, make it so when you click on someone's name on PS and it brings up that new page that can show past ranks while /rank shows current. Or just keep it how it is because this system is fine.

I think some kind of compromise between suggestions would work best. Something like show your highest ranking in any given tier, labeled as the "season" it was. i.e. if you have a rank of 1700 in NU s4 and 1750 in NU s2, it would show the 1750 under your /rank and the 1700 would essentially be lost in time and space. This "best of all time" ranking would ideally not update until the end of the season because even if you surpass it in the current season, you aren't necessarily ending the season at that rank.

Not sure how active he is right now, but Zarel, whenever you see this I would love to see what you think about it.

how about showing the latest rank when you do /rank, but when you go to the actual profile page it shows all the ranks?

how hard would it be to allow users to reset their rank? lots of time i'll be like "i want to play uu!" only to play 1 game before i go back to randbats. then i'll do a /rank and see a bunch of ladders idc about when i'm looking for randbats.

You can do /rank [username], [tier] and only get the rankings for that tier

i didn't know that but the lazy side of me would only use it if PS supported tab completion or allowed me to disable username tab completion in favor of /ra(tab)[nk,] etc

i'm sure plenty of people would like the option to reset their rank, though, so my question isn't totally exclusive to me

I brought it up once and this was Antar's reply:

Yagura--fine to reset Elo (but pointless), but yeah. Resetting Glicko is a bad idea for the stats.

I like the idea of adding a season style format to the ladder rankings as it just adds a bit more competition to the ladder scene and gives users a way to see how their improving over time. Like others have said this could clutter /rank really fast so I feel like having only the current season rankings show up on /rank while having the users profile page contain their all time stats would be most optimal. It seems like a pretty good feature imo to view past rankings and stats from past seasons without them just being tossed into the wind making it feel like a waste of time.

if the only problem with doing seasonal ladders for real tiers is the clutter from /rank couldnt a new command like /pastranks or /rankwin15 be created? then that'd show the ranks for the past seaons and /rank would work as it currently does
