you still get bonus even if you dont play i not played wild for like 1 year and i got 5x star bonus
but i only got 7 star bonus on standard and on plat 10 1 star now with no bonus allrdy so gonna take me 60 wins more then i lose to get legned from now on + i had to win like 20 game to get here i had a break for 2 morths i was legned 2 morths ago so sucks to have to be so far behind now i was rank 10 last morth becouse of simi afking just doing my quest
You only got that bonus because of the changeover - next month you'll get duck eggs if you don't play Wild
It would definitely be a kick in the nutsack, but I think the climb after a full season off would have to be taken in stages. The first season back would be horrible, but at least you'd have a multiplier the next season.
But saying that, I can't defend the new system against what you say. It's designed to keep the gears grinding with massive penalties for anyone that takes any time off.
It's great for one thing only - regaining your rank from the previous season.
As for the rewards, they're great - but they're not going to look as great next season as they do this season - partly because they're new and more so because of the first time rewards that are coming too.
you might be right, i need another month to retry lol. i still have a x2 bonus in legend, showing over the legend rank, weird.
You were high legend then? What was your legend rank?
You're going to get a multiplier until you return to the rank you finished the previous season in - regardless of what that was. It's just a little difficult to decipher what that is with the change over - it'll be clear next month.
Well done! I think it's going to be harder for non-legend players to reach the rank though - that multiplier stacks like compound interest and when it runs out the grinds is going to be harder than the old system. The great thing about the new system is it should be super easy for players to tread water at a specific rank each month.
If you are a common legend grinder, or even rank 5 grinder which gives a "x9" star boost at this point, the climb back up to rank 10 (now known as diamond) is fairly trivial. I'm back up to gold 1 with only 6 or 7 wins, and if patterns follow, platinum won't be much slower.
I think if you have a look at how they have structured the new system, it's essentially arbitrary until you exhaust your multiplier. Matchups are completely independent of the rank until that point. So essentially having everyone start at the bottom and climb up is only beneficial for the new stacked rewards system.
As the other poster said, it's going to be a hard grind once you exhaust your multiplier - but it sure gives the good vibes to gain 9 stars for a win and 1 for a loss etc
Any information on this? I had assumed that any loss was a reduction of 1 star - but my first loss at Bronze 8.3 didn't lose a star.
Blizzard are sooooo shit at communicating the finer details of what they are doing!
You don't lose stars in Bronze ranks. Blizzard told it.
My bad then, seems the fault is with my eyes and not with their words. For me I think it would've been better to maintain consistency across all the divisions and have a 1-star loss for a loss, and winstreak all the way to legend. After all where the winstreak bonus ends, your multiplier is already dead so it's gonna be grindy enough as it is.
If you're going to rebuild the ranking system, don't go cherry picking bits from the old system and stuff them into the new one.
I confirm that, on my winstreak, i didn't not get x2 stars after 5
Is that Diamond-5? One early thing that I find annoying is there's no textual representation of your division. Sure the border colours look a bit different, but I don't think it's really clear for a lot of people - especially not those who are colorblind!
