No idea how some of you put up with the lag and delay.

Lots of ice cream and soap operas.

ya, it's what pushed me away from sparring so actively

then why do tower takers get a prize at a certain target...why not Sparrers...they should also get hats at 10K,20K or whatever.

because spar is fun, towering isnt.  

point system sucks. just use +1, 0, -1. sometimes pros can lose to amateurs. that's gonna easily help amateurs gain their points.
-29 - 60 pts per tier. starts from 0 at the new tier. u need to at least win 60 in a row to move to the next tier and u have at least 30 chances before you get demoted to the lower tier.

No... you don't get the part where you will be fighting against people at your level or above/below sometimes, and the point system is really up for staff to decide.

I prefer (after a match) winner gets hp * 5, and loser gets deducted that many points, but it might seem like too much work by now. Could just be a set number for each win and loss for every tier, but the hp idea is to base it off how well you did, instead of punishing you on every spar you lose. That way if you trade hits with most delayers almost always, you won't lose a ton of points for them having an "unfair advantage".

If spar rooms existed in a way in which you could instantly spar against people around your tier from anywhere on the map, and not have to face a delayer who is hogging the streak room, (because they get mad, unfair advantage, too much lag, etc) then I don't see any problem in fighting a delayer every 1/10 matches(depends).

Plus a lag cap would be helpful for ranked, while no lag cap for player matches.  

LOL @ DAVID AND DANTE BEING LEGENDARY TIER

they belong in gold AT BEST! Probably even silver on some days

I would say you would lose 5/10/25/50/100 points if the server does not register at least 10 matches from you every 12 hours. That way no one can camp at the top.

This is a perfect tool to make selective sparring really easy.

Scenario: Player A doesn't care about meaningless tiers, but rather wants to inflate his spar ratio. He starts at bronze, wins until he starts getting tough matches and then lets time bring him back to bronze.

Also, how would a leader board work with a tier system? Only legendary would be on the list?

I don't see how the towering rewards compare to the reward system mentioned in this thread. Something that includes daily rewards for doing the activity of sparring. That's what I meant. If sparring has daily, weekly, and monthly rewards then so should the other activities.

But to better answer your question in rewards to an equivalent reward system, that's why I agreed on the bring back spar hats thread.

Player goes to bronze, waits a bit, and goes back down.

Which is why I took off losses from profile. They become a "showdeaths" type of thing, where only you can see them, and no one would care.

Ranks would become the judgement point of your skill, because spar ratio does not matter, and are placed in your profile.

Ranks matter, because you are fighting people based on your level. The system would rank you out of everyone (est. 4500+ ranked accounts, since someone said iclassic gets 9000+ active players daily or something).

"Tier: Bronze. You are currently ranked at #xxxx out of xxxx total ranked players" (resets every season)

easy fix. you won't lose any points below diamond tier for being inactive. so you will be at gold if you aren't going to spar.
lol this whole concept idk what's it called, but it's all used in Pop tag since 2002.

to prevent AFK players, make sure players have to press yes before entering

Still think people would use the system just to get easy wins. Especially if classic decides to bring milestone hats.

Only for active sparers, depending on the requirements to merit a ranking. Any good sparer that just likes to spar a couple times a day would be rank inappropriately.

So pretty much the best ranked bronze player would be below every sparer from the top tiers. Seems to me that this ranking system goes back to the original problem comet mentioned about needing to constantly spar to be on the board.



I think the more this idea gets discussed the more complicated it gets.
