But someone can make multiple new accounts until one of them wins. Then they take first place despite their lack of skill.so this effect can be easily eliminated by submitting score if one played at least 100 or 50 games
With a ranking system of Score:Number of games played, the highest score would most likely be someone who played one PvP game and won.i doubt someone joining the game will win PVP2 or FG wich gives the most scores.
A good ranking system does not give first place to someone with just one game.
you mad? purpose of this? nothing of course. who plays 1 game wont get high scores. only a noob would think playing just 1 game gives scores and coins.
Your system awards someone who joins, plays one PvP game against a high-scored player, wins, and never plays again. So that's skill, eh?
Meh, in hindsight I should've said AI5.so? lost games are OVERcompensated by won games. you gain much more by winning in PVP than losing especially if you are skilled. this is how good players/decks can be higher ranked with less games. the current system rewards newbie players who farm against AI, playing 100 games per day. My system awards PVPyers who gain more from PVP if they are skilled (of course losing much if they are noobs).
Nevertheless, AI grinding gets you more score per game for most people because at a certain point huge amount of score will be lost in PvP for each loss.
highly disagree.. playing AI3 and T50 gives maximally 20 scores per game. Playing PVP2 gives at least 20 scores per game even if you face against a player who has very low scores against your scores. so that means you wont get same score playing less games by playing against AI, in fact, this sytem would reward players who play PVP.if you earn the same amount of score with less games played you are better.This is not true; thus, your system collapses.
Your above fallacy displays the "better" players as the ones who spend the largest percentage of their games mindlessly EMing the AI3. The better players are actually the ones who do well in PvP tournaments and events.
No matter what system you use, you cannot show the best PvP players through AI competition (unless the players are playing human decks, ie. T500).
The current score is not trying to rank players from best to worst; it is to provide an incentive for players to grind and spend a lot of time on elements. High score means you can make farms and show off your decks in T50.
Your idea for a score system would reward players who spend the largest percentage of their time in AI3; thus, playing any other opponent would be punished.
So you want to promote grinding AI3 with a winpercentage of 95%+ over FG grinding with a winpercentage of ~50%?nope, i mean scores divided by the total number of games played. of course you can play against AI0 and you will win all the games, but you will score less. its not broken, think of it. if you earn the same amount of score with less games played you are better. e.g. Player A has 10000 score with 500 games played total and player B has 5000 scores with 100 games played total. Player A is ranked higher , however player B is seemingly better.
I think your solution will make things even more broken then it already is. If we're gonna change things I'd say make AI5/FG's give some more score.
Win:Loss ratio shouldn't mater at all I think, that's what we have score for!
Looks like a modified version of EvaRia's Dragonbow (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,18603.0.html) but more optimized for FGs.Liquid shadow is not a wise choise since Momentum is crucial for ignoring shield. The concept is: playing all your dragons, sky blitz and chimera at once, so you will finish your opponent in 1 turn. So there is no reason to play your dragons early risking they will be killed.
I'll give it a whirl later
Preliminary thoughts:
Sky Blitz + Chimera + Liquid Shadow for EM finish.
More Phase Shields. Consider Cloak for protecting permanents and hiding one or two dragons before the Blitz finish.
Supernovas are kind of shaky because you're running a Time mark, but that's always been true for the AI5 Dragonbow linked.
This seems like this card would make a nice addition to the game but 1 question,what happens if you don't have any more cards to draw?does it count as a deckout or will it stop and leave you with a 0 counter and next turn you will deckoutanswering to this question, you have to be careful when you have too few cards in your deck, you should not play TL
