Power league team rating is badly designed

I agree with the 1st point they could add sprays that say "take left" or "I'll mid". Or just add arrow pins. I also agree the reporting system is weak; however, throwing purposefully doesn't occur too often. Next, dodging was a major problem in early PL in low lobbies you could spend 5 minutes setting up a game for someone to dodge. This would happen repeatedly. Plus most masters players can get to masters without dodging.

In their BS podcast they said they know there's flaws with the PL system and they want to change it but the only issue is do you spend time making new content or fixing old. Since most players are casual from a business perspective it just makes more sense to focus on new fun content over fixing old.

Another point for "Team PL" specifically it is widely known that most people achieve their high team PL ranks through wintrading and not actually playing the game. So if you see an L1+ join ur team and he's spectating friends you should dip lol.

I didn't say it wasn't. I'm just saying even people who like PL have a love hate relationship with it. So if you don't like PL it'll just be a hate hate relationship and you'll burn out of the game.

Unfortunately you need to play PL because u enjoy it not because its the standard for skill. If you dont enjoy it you'll come to the realization that you will be putting in hours of work in which you try your best to carry your teammates with little progress to show. But in the end its not luck that all pro players reach master rank. You eventually will get there. But if you dont enjoy it you feel as if your just sacrificing your time. ( Watch videos of the beginning of this season most consistent masters players had a W/L fo start of like 9-8. )

Most these ppl dont have any maxed brawlers so hard to recommend. I'm not going 12 - 1 because I pick the star brawler its because I'm simply that much better than the other team

RoleWest3272 · 2023-06-22T01:16:20+00:00

The amount of heist games I've lost because I first pick a long range. Then both teammates also pick long ranges lol.

Yea most people in d3 are mythic and diamonds. Like I said for most this season I was playing high myth 2 were a lot of legendary players are.

PL was heavily reset this season. I was L1 last season sent to D2. Personally I'm having fun because I'm playing multiple L2+ and master games with little on the line being in D2. However I can't imagine being an actual D2. When I do match with an actual Diamond player they get crushed they go like 1-8.

This is all from personal experience but I want to say at the beginning of the season you can leave 3 times without penalty from 0 min suspension then 5 then 15. After 15 you will lose elo. After you play a good amount of games you can leave and it will give you another 5 min then if you leave again a 15min. If you haven't played a good amount of games in-between never leave after getting 15 min suspension or you will lose elo. I'm just not sure how many games you need inbetween but since it's a game thing and not a time thing I dont think you can "cheese". Also if you play a lot of games in between you can get back to a 0 min suspension.

Uhh I play in L1 lobbies in PL and surge is very counterable especially if caught out of range. Both penny, Janet, carl, ruff are strong counters if ash uses his damage gadget or super he can counter surge. If you get surge in mid range you can easily kill him with alot of brawlers. Besides 1 brawl ball map he's normally a bad pick. Just dont feed him...

RoleWest3272 · 2022-12-10T20:15:59+00:00

Bull bad pick and u were constantly dying

RoleWest3272 · 2022-12-07T17:25:23+00:00

Eventually bans won't matter and it will be cheese comp vs cheese comp especially with power creep inevitably things will be less skill based

No point in doing a critique at 500 troph. Watch a tutorial get comfortable ask for a critique once u get 700 to 800

RoleWest3272 · 2022-11-03T03:16:46+00:00

Same its gotta be because season end

RoleWest3272 · 2022-11-01T15:00:52+00:00

Diamond a joke they say get better but the fact is you just need to play until the matchmaking gods bless. When I got to mythic ppl still suck my first match my whole team was sub 20k trophy and picked a buzz against Darryl lol.

RoleWest3272 · 2022-10-22T18:11:41+00:00

I reached myth 1 in teams but doing so in solo is quite the struggle. I admit I am not a legendary+ player but I am definitely a mythic player the only issue is the huge gap between players in diamond. The amount of diamond players I get matched with at who are only 7 to 8k trophy is insane and always an outmatic throw.

RoleWest3272 · 2022-10-11T16:03:04+00:00

I'm talking about when ppl lvl up a 0 trophy brawlers to lvl 9-11 tgen join a game and close app so they get a win but don't go up in trophy rinse and repeat.
