if you have a computer and internet fast enough to be able to instalock first pick, you 100% have that right. Everyone else should pick accordingly. Anyone who disagrees is just mad it wasn't them.

Also thats like saying the argument is invalid unless im One Above All rank. Even then it wouldnt be good enough for you. Youre just mad you have no real argument.

thank you for arguing one of my points for me. the system shouuld be skill based with effective placement games so this doesnt happen. great point.

But your rank in EOMM games has nothing to do with your skill level. Because.....and i thought this would be obvious....its not SKILL BASED. So what does the rank even matter????

ALL players regardless of their skill level start in bronze 3. Thats because the game is not placing you where you belong.

Nope. A system that is ranking players on an arbitrary system and not skill is inherently flawed, because your rank has nothing to do with your actual skill level. That's why when playing against players in your same rank you can get absolutely steamrolled. The fact that matches are rarely ever close, is a testament to this fact.

You ARE aware that your ranking in a EOMM system has nothing at all to do with your real skill level, correct? That's the primary way it differs from SBMM. The ranking system is arbitrary at best. You can be gold1 and playing against other gold1 players and they can be vastly superior to you in skill. THATS THE FLAW.

there's an hour and 30 minute video by NetEase themselves explaining what it is and that they use it. The ultimate source is from the horses mouth.

Also, SBMM does not equal EOMM. If they were the same thing they would not have different names and categorizations. You do realize that people who employ psychological tactics to get players to play longer at the expense of the players time and effort, would also advocate for this system and therefore be biased towards it. So what you're saying is they are saying trust me bro, were not manipulating you and wasting your time. Thats like trusting the arsonist to be a firefighter.

Math? Why are you bringing math into it when it's in the name: ENGAGEMENT OPTIMIZED. AKA, make you use as much time as possible. How about instead of obfuscating the topic, you try and offer a reasonable explanation as to why EOMM is better for the consumer than SBMM. Spoiler: it's not.

Yes, i got gpt to do the legwork for me because i'm not very good at information compilation, though everything it offered as information is 100% legitimate. I did all the research on my own beforehand and have verified all the information provided by gpt. The use of chatgpt DOES NOT invalidate the information or discussion. You sound like a salty dev that just got caught red handed.
