Patch Notes Here: www.reddit.com/r/battles2/comments/1crougx/big_changes_coming_to_ranked_play_introducing/ What are ur thoughts on the arena leagues?

T rash

[@RonZhang]

Overcomplicated system that is actually worse than the current state of ranking

[@JoelTheParrot]

They probably have time within this week to add a trophy loss upon losing and that'd probably be better. 11:27 This glitch was NASTY. You see, this BAD? It's Fortified. The Fortified elements are glitched to be all-Pink, and the BAD is Pink. See how the front of the BAD has no texture? That's where part of their fortification usually is. You can see some of that on the back, too. You can also see that the child Bloons from it have all-Pink Fortification.

[@treyblake7963]

That's the whole reason he died

[@floyd_thecat]

like they say, "if it aint broke, dont fix it." ik theres an issue with hom elo and stuff but this does not fix it at all, and makes it bad for people who are decent but only sporadically play this game/people who get to a high arena and dont play much after that. not being able to lose trophies is also a downside given the fact that there's no risk to losing, casual mode is for that. the system makes people go round 30+, which defeats the purpose of rushing as you're guaranteed to win trophies, like the prisoner's dilemma but with no downsides. what are they gonna do at the start of the season? 75% of trophies system is dead as the trophies have been repurposed. will they move you down x arenas? put you in yellow stadium? plus, fast tracking makes the whole trophy system completely redundant as if you get enough trophies, you just move on to the next arena - 50 trophies is completely attainable especially when you can't lose trophies. quitting battles2 if this actually drops

[@HK_Everlovely]

Its evolving, just backwards.

[@carter9543]

Looks like they are changing it for more player retention rather than prioritizing high skill players

[@gavinschradel958]

I understand NK wanting to cater to the more casual player base rather than the competitive scene but all they would’ve needed to do was fix the elo system

[@ZineyZ]

NK making a league that shoulda been the clan wars

[@samplingrater8411]

We dont need this just like we didnt need clans. We want new heroes, towers, maps, rushes, and great balance changes. Thats it.

[@MainChannel9521]

I just don’t see why they worked on this. The old system was just fine, and instead of getting good content, we just get this? Why? Why did they spend their time on this instead of giving us something like new heros?

[@Whydoweevenexists]

Out of ideas :/

[@MainChannel9521]

@@Whydoweevenexists Just work on giving us the btd 6 heros, they’re interesting enough, especially Etienne.

To not give new heroes.

Hey man just here to say I love your videos and your positivity keep up the great work man

Idk what they found bad about this system exept elo

the current trophy system is good

What about the seasonal bling?

[@nickrubin1714]

If this goes live I’m never playing this game again

[@davidta9180]

Bye

[@Paulsack999]

Great. This makes it possible for bad players to be in hoM. Expect to face more non skilled people.

[@thegorock]

This ain't the 4.0 update This is the 0.5 update

[@Play-fe5jh]

Good day, my friend, I somehow don't bother with this, leagues, clans, cups, I'm pumping all the heroes now

[@iiTzCynical]

Even if a player in their respective 30 league is losing over and over, they will only gain trophies and ranking if it's a loss past r30. Almost all games end before r30 in the current game. HoM might be a little sketchy though.

[@rubenoosterhof5209]

its only 1 trophy after round 30 though, so you cant realy cheese it, also ppl will try to kill ppl of before round 30, so its creates a new gameplay, i think its kinda nice, you get 1 point for your time, round 30 takes a while, so its a trophy for time investment i guess, i kinda like it. idk about the new small leagues though, i gotte see it in action

[@Midnight-Protocol]

How does this affect Ryan's legacy?

[@ChristiaanStoltz]

Why are they changing rankings

[@utilizator1701]

To not add heroes.

[@guotyr2502]

Still waiting to get out of yellow camp and not get stomped by top 100 players instead

[@henriquecosta6008]

It's league of legends ranked system then?

[@dementionalpotato]

time to play boomer mortar glue and grind to hom with 0% win rate 😂

[@sawakochan3]

makes it more competitive to those who aren't in HoM. Because before you felt like you had to get to HoM to have "arrived" anywhere.

[@caseyhowell598]

So if you can't lose trophies does that mean everyone gets into HOM basically for free? This is kinda confusing, I guess we just gata wait and see what exactly it is

[@utilizator1701]

The system organize itself organicly, meaning that it is players responsibility to defeat opponents before round 30.

[@environmentalmatrix5898]

So, with this system can people drop out of HoM now?

[@utilizator1701]

Weren't they before? I remeber Boltrix being in MoM and it dropped to Moab Pit few seasons ago.

[@environmentalmatrix5898]

@@utilizator1701 With the current system, once you are in HoM, you are in until the season ends. If you ranked high enough, a certain number can remain, but the rest need to get back to HoM by the end of the next season.

[@balovr6821]

Let‘s goo! Useless rework of the arena system. Thank you Nk

[@kiskidiego]

These changes are actually horrible, jesus

[@Yoza94]

Most bad players wont get past round 30 so dont worry about them getting to hom coz it aint gonna happen

[@nindroidplayzz6271]

i got here in 8 minutes ;D (banger video as always ;D)

[@SmileyTheFoot]

Too early now, I am currently sitting through a presentation in history class. I’m not supposed to be on my phone.

Thats hilarious rip now you know how i feel when i have to go to bed when he posts or streams

[@silverice9406]

bruh same but science

[@mythmakroxymore1670]

Are you out yet?

[@pinkski9175]

This is so dumb. The fact that you have to be top 3 out of 30 zomg players to progress to HOM is stupid, instead of having to conquer more zomg players than you lose to in order to progress to HOM, like it is now. Even if you reach HOM in the current system, you will quickly get demoted if you arent ready to be there. Why would they think this makes any more sense the current system? Why would they think that at all??

[@RyanMehalic]

Not exactly, u can get from zomg to HOM quite easily if u just get 50 trophies before a week is over and u just auto promote

[@pinkski9175]

@@RyanMehalic I thought only the first person to get 50 trophies got to insta promote

[@Liquidsemtex]

Nobody wants participation trophies

[@krunkerprime8320]

they didnt cook

[@kirby5962]

Wow this update sucks, i might not play btdb2 anymore

[@omduggineni]

I think this pro/con list sums it up pretty well: Pros: - arenas don't get slightly easier as the season progresses Cons: - all arenas get easier in general, because you don't need a high winrate to progress - players who only play sporadically are severely punished - new players can no longer achieve HoM in one season - doesn't fix HoM elo issues because the HoM leaderboard is somehow the only thing that wasn't changed - no incentive to play anymore for the rest of the week if you're at the top of the arena - no incentive to play ranked if you can't commit to a grind - medal inflation because you need a 0% winrate to progress to the next arena - I stopped playing clan wars for a reason - if the system's too complex for Ryan Mehalic to understand while playing, it's probably too complex PS: Maybe just explain it without simultaneously playing next time? The multitasking was hard to watch 🙃

[@David_TheSuperior]

Before Ryan renamed the title after it being mistitled Update 3.0, but still unsure about the Arena rework. But I may be too undertaught to know it truly.

[@KevinGaming64]

You put 3.0 instead of 4.0 update mr mehalic. 🫨😂

[@Lokit1234]

😂

[@MonkeyChopOfficial]

awful change

[@Lokit1234]

new update will be trash

[@John_Abercrombie]

first ;)

[@TLGGorilla]

Imagine this, a zomg level player gets on after season reset, then tons of noobs get absolutely farmed because this zomg player has to play in a rank they dont belong in for a week when they would normally climb out of in 6 games. The stupid weekly thing is clearly made for player retention, but unbalanced games and a grindy system will literally stop any new players from having a chance of enjoying this, and force good players to play tons of boring games they want no part in. Has NK even thought about how this impacts games? Or why there is a ranking system? We're barely scratching the stupidity here. My rank being tied to a random sample size of 30? And if 3 of them play more than I can, theres just nothing I can do to rank up? Braindead update.
