I've talked to many app junkies that get excited when I tell them about one of the best games I've come across, only to be let down when I tell them they have to play against other humans and not a computer. With all the crap making money out there.

Part of the problem with that is that League games come across as competitive and scary. Something that OML's presentation supports unfortunately.
Leagues games should feel the opposite of competitive: what they are is a system that promises you games that are always just at your skill level so you're challenged, but not overwhelmed.

If they present it as an auto-difficulty feature instead of a possibility of being told you're in the "dummy" league (along with ~40% of the population) it would be much more attractive to people.


[Even when I play "Friendly" games: about 1/4 of them are against unranked opponents. "Friendly" is the last place unranked (newbs) want to be playing in as even most fluffy players will severly outrank them.

The names are backwards. League is "friendly" if you're new and 'Friendly' is just unfair....
Heck, give players the option to skip "ranking" games altogether and just start on "easy mode" at the bottom of the skill barrel. Let them start by winning.]
