IMMA TEACH YOU WHAT SPLASHIN' MEANS
same story, at around 40+ games was with 3000+ glicko all this time with 230+ deviation. and I don't know if it's only me but the ladder is like...... empty. Hardly 4-5 people playing at a time (since I had a record no. of rematches). I could hardly manage at most like 7-8 games in an hour with that humongous waiting time.i played somewhere like 90+ games with a glicko2 of above 3000 the whole time, and my deviation is still in the high 170s because of how broken the ladder system is on showdown. basically, if you have a really high rank, your deviation goes nowhere. it took like 10 battles to lower it from 190 to 189.
i don't know the solution, but i know the problem
Even with that, half the matchups end up with my opponent quick-forfeiting to hit the reqs, which isn't helping my deviation at all.
And yes, the first 10 matches are really important. I dunno why, but they seem to like set your glicko2 rating in stone. (I had to try with 3 alts before I got the ball rolling)
This has kind of lost it's purpose, which is kind of disappointing since I was really looking forward to vote. And I don't really advocate the idea of gaming the ladder. Plus I have my grad exams coming up so I sadly couldn't continue grinding like this.
I still don't regret all the wasted grind since I got to play some fantastic games, especially against yee's sand team (who was operating under the alt bwou, I believe) and got to refine many kinks in my HO team.
I'll just need to hope that the other voters vote responsibly and I trust they will. Plus I have faith that the council will have a fair deliberation over the matter.
I just hope that the issue is resolved before the next suspect test.
