Infamy rant!!!

infamy is such a joke dude, can we just eliminate the whole thing and find a new ranking system? Like sometimes I play with ppl and it’s like they should be 1000 infamy lower than what they are, which brings me to the conclusion that climbing has little to do with skill and more to do with luck or some other unknown force, prime example is in the pic. How the hell is a mk1 at that infamy? And he’s even higher last time I checked . #SomethingIsntRight #WhatTheHell #INeedAnswers #ImSleepy

 

Infamy is the best mode of matching imo... it is calculated by practically everything about a player, from skill, to gear score, to ship mk, to captain trainings etc. What new ranking system would you suggest that can do all that, and even better?

Climbing has lots to do with skill. Prime example is your pic. That mk1 has to fight mk5s and maybe even mk6s to stay at that range. How else would he be able to survive there if not for skill?

 

Didn’t know hiding was a skill? I’ve seen him play and it’s not skill. He has 800 hp and his sniper crits for 400. There is a such thing as getting carried in this game . Some people can rise with with no skill at all

 

I wasn’t shaming anyone or saying someone’ wasn’t trying to win. All I was pointing out was the fact that a mk1 is in masters to prove my point that climbing isn’t all about skill . Sorry if you misunderstood

 

A ranking system that isn't manually adjusted by MK level, Streaks, Gear Score, Nightmare Reset, and any number of other things.

 

The mk level matching seems fine in Ranked (TDM matching is totally different, but the match the OP was complaining about was a ranked one), and I don't think the MM in Ranked uses gear score. Lose streaks sure are demoralizing, but the game needs them to balance out win streaks to make the game supposedly 'fair' for everyone (50/50 win lose ratio). As for Nightmare Reset I agree that it's a problem; I've heard of Ace I players complaining that they get high levelled Nightmare players in their games after every season reset.

Hiding strategically so the enemy can't hit you but you can is a skill. People can rise infamy while being carried, but after a while they will drop back down. I know that guy in your pic, and I've seen him stay at 1700+ for a long time, so it's definitely skill.



The infamy system isn't completely fair, and still needs much more work. However pointing fingers and throwing insults are not going to help it get better... Addressing a problem is one thing, but trying to fix it is another.

 

I kinda agree with your post except for this:

that's BS, if we had 50/50 win lose ratio, then we would have 0 infamy because of the fact that we would have same ammount of wins and losses

 

so if ur under average skill the game should make negative infamy for you?

 

nope, but u know, u can't have 50/50 wins and losses, you have also draws so actually, everyone (except for those with 0 infamy) has more wins than loses because of draws

 

im not suggesting it
im going against it

 

players that are too high are small problem because there are only few players that are ablo to climb that high
bigger problem are imo players that are too low
fkr example this battle, that's just ridiculous

1× mk5 speeder, 4× mk6 shooter against 1× mk6 fixer, 3× mk6 shooter, 1× mk5 shooter
at 1.2k infamy, this is the intended state, or what?

 

iv been there
i feel the frustration

 

that's in almost every frigging battle, 2 mk6 ships in both teams on average
I thought that getting mk5 speeder will help but no, I am still too weak to compete with their weps hitting for 1k+ (cannons, not torpedoes)

 

Fair enough if some of you say infamy climb is about skills but damn it can be all about luck and getting carried as well because I climb to 1400+ getting carried by mk5 and mk6 being an mk2 enforcer..

I just hide and sneak in behind for some cheap shot..eventually I drop and now floating around 1k-1.2k with my mk4 ship..
