Anyone Changed An Initially Assigned League Yet?

Yes that's quite obvious to be fair, but I think I beat roundabout 25 people from Gifted League as well. So that can't be it, it used to go way faster.


LOL, now I get it: "Waiting Star Division" - truestory.png

(SC2, which obviously was the inspiration for this system, never officially answered how theirs worked in detail)

It's not ELO. The system assigns you a certain skill rating based on how you've done on your placement matches and adjusts the rating whenever you (get) beat (by) people from superior (inferior) leagues. OneManLeft's taken the SC2 approach pretty well and the points are a little add-on.

I do think that their thoughts behind the algorithm do somehow work but are currently behaving oddly. Luckily this all can be changed without an App Store update so I think it's gonna be fixed as soon as Alex arrives (and actually cares).
