FINALLY GRANDMASTER! 🏆

What an adventure! So many victories, so many problems, but at least I went through it all with the best mates anyone could ever wish for!I can't wait to share my experiences and offer some suggestions on how to improve Ranked Dominion. We missed 67 =(

Congrats, bud!

Made it to Grand Master in For Honor. Honestly such a fun journey fighting some of the best NA/EU players. Definitely learned a lot from the pro players in the community and well played to everyone I fought to get there. Certainly was no easy task, but we locked in.

@NotoriousPET420 @iluvblckswan @ForHonorGame @toetmined Nice to meet you!

[Faraam @Faraam0]

@NutellaFH @ClutchmeisterTV @zRushIX @ForHonorGame @toetmined We may disagree on how much of an advantage it actually created, but I think we agree on the underlying issue with the system. Thanks for the great and constructive discussion! 🤝

[Faraam @Faraam0]

@NutellaFH @ClutchmeisterTV @zRushIX @ForHonorGame @toetmined I think we’ve reached a good conclusion here. I presented two hard facts: he queued with a Gold 1 player, and his queue times became shorter. The impact on the exact teammates and opponents is of course debatable, since matchmaking always involves multiple weighted factors.

[Faraam @Faraam0]

@NutellaFH @ClutchmeisterTV @zRushIX @ForHonorGame @toetmined For me, it was important to find and document a clear example of how rank disparity can be used to create a competitive advantage. That’s the specific issue I wanted to highlight here.

[Faraam @Faraam0]

@NutellaFH @ClutchmeisterTV @zRushIX @ForHonorGame @toetmined Of course, I agree that lobby dodging, queue times, and other issues also need to be addressed. I’ve already made a video discussing those problems in detail.

[Faraam @Faraam0]

@NutellaFH @ClutchmeisterTV @zRushIX @ForHonorGame @toetmined That’s why I think we can all agree that we don’t want players reaching Grandmaster through exploits, tricks, or other ways of manipulating the system to gain an easier path. Grandmaster should represent genuine effort and genuine skill. Can we agree on that?

[Faraam @Faraam0]

@NutellaFH @ClutchmeisterTV @zRushIX @ForHonorGame @toetmined Reaching Grandmaster should feel earned. It should mean you consistently competed against players around your own level and proved that you belong there.

[Faraam @Faraam0]

@NutellaFH @ClutchmeisterTV @zRushIX @ForHonorGame @toetmined So yes, the progression is too slow right now but that's fixable with Season 1 placement and RP adjustments. The disparity system itself needs to be addressed separatey.

[Faraam @Faraam0]

@NutellaFH @ClutchmeisterTV @zRushIX @ForHonorGame @toetmined The bigger long-term issue, in my opinion, is rank disparity. If a high-ranked player can queue with someone significantly below their rank and that meaningfully lowers the average strength of their lobbies, that problem doesn't disappear once the ranks settle.

[Faraam @Faraam0]

@NutellaFH @ClutchmeisterTV @zRushIX @ForHonorGame @toetmined The most important takeaway is something we actually agree on: the system itself is flawed and needs to be changed.
The rank disparity allowed within groups is too large and creates situations like this in the first place

[Faraam @Faraam0]

@NutellaFH @ClutchmeisterTV @zRushIX @ForHonorGame @toetmined I think we can put this discussion to rest now. Clutch and I reached a conclusion that we can both agree on.
At this point, it doesn’t really matter which side you take. You can agree with Clutch’s perspective or with mine both sides have arguments worth considering.
