Not all free wins are made equal and quantity of free wins does, in fact, change the quality of the situation.<br /><br />My subjective answer to your query is that i would have an inverse correlation of the impact of new champion on matchmaking benefits with player's matchmaking rating. 2 free wins for 1 purchase is maybe okay if we are talking bronze-silver leagues, 1 free win is okay in gold, some benefit but not guaranteed win is okay higher, eventually no benefit at very high levels.<br />That's all just subjective ballparking, though. Also please note that LoL's system is harsher than this. As per your own statistics, you don't actually even get a single guaranteed win at gold level.<br /><br />Definitely no free wins in WC finals (but there is no ladder matchmaking system there, so why is that even a question?).maximhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576542229498004147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-42525631302654750372017-03-07T00:50:49.193+01:002017-03-07T00:50:49.193+01:00I know it's early access, but Ark Survival Evo...I know it's early access, but Ark Survival Evolved is perfect for what you want. <br /><br />You can gain power over others on server by outteching them or building alliances.<br /><br />I do so by having a major tribe do my bidding by breeding dinosaurs they want to the highest level.<br /><br />I play antisocially on my server with my wife.

I think you mean "not rigged".
Y...@Gevlon<br />I think you mean "not rigged".<br />Yes, i'm claiming that 1 new win in below-gold level for a new champion is perfectly acceptable.<br /><br />The more important claim, however, is that you seem to not be able to properly appreciate competitive games. "I don't like APM games" is a part of this.<br />There is no inherent problem with this. However, physicality like APM is one of the few ways left to get a lot of people really passionate about exclusive content (because they want to experience the high level physicality. "What would it feel to actually hit a homerun from a pro pitch" kind of feeling).maximhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576542229498004147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-27738550126162138782017-03-06T18:11:09.348+01:002017-03-06T18:11:09.348+01:00@maxim: so you claim that "buy new champion =...@maxim: so you claim that "buy new champion = get free win" is "rigged"?<br />I do NOT claim that Starcraft is rigged.

You are correct that in competitive games ...@Gevlon<br />You are correct that in competitive games people will do apparently unfun stuff to reach restricted content. It is interesting how i don't think about losing competitive ladder matches in games like Starcraft as "unfun" and "getting pwned". Gonna have to reflect on that.<br /><br />On another hand, i must point out a few things that you may not like.<br />1) You have only proven LoL is rigged by your own very narrow definition of "rigged".<br />2) You have also proven, at least in my eyes, that the definition of "rigged" you are running with will result in you finding pretty much any competitive game "rigged". At this point, this seems to be your bias. You got lucky with WoT (that is actually rigged), resulting in a case of "paranoid doesn't mean not stalked", but this simply wasn't the case with LoL.<br />As a result, i can't see you enjoying any competitive game, because you simply do not enjoy the process of getting stuck in a rut and then getting out of it through the process of gittin' gud (which is the core of competitive gameplay). You'd rather blame the "dev rigged ELO hell".<br /><br />So yeah, you are right that competitive games might have what you want. But competitive games themselves are not what you want.maximhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576542229498004147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-84915491283724509232017-03-06T17:26:42.897+01:002017-03-06T17:26:42.897+01:00new space moba's?

There are plenty of opportunities for demonstrating a social supremacy elsewhere. Isn't the current fake news debacle just another example of "socials" being trolled and manipulated? Perhaps you should review the setting for your project because basically you have proved your point to those that choose to listen in at least three mmo's.

A lot of appeal of the "beating the rigged system" and "money making" types of post is, that others can follow your story and have some success on their own.<br /><br />This was true for WoW, BDO and Eve money making, also for gaming the system in World of Tanks. <br /><br />Projects of this kind have the advantage to be individually verifiable. You do not have to believe that your ideas are correct, but one can verify that your methods work.<br /><br />"I want to destroy Goos because they are social and evil" can not repeated by a player. And it is too high a goal for most, even if they follow your steps.<br />Philosophical posts may work at times to give background, but if there are too many, it easily attracts the "crazy" and "tinfoil hat" crowds.<br /><br />Pheredhelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-35087270065694649352017-03-06T07:42:35.000+01:002017-03-06T07:42:35.000+01:00I guess there is nothing around like what you'...I guess there is nothing around like what you're looking for, and there will not be for a long time and for solid reasons. <br />You're looking for a MMO, so anything as a niche is not relevant to you: well, game industry figured out well what younger generations, current/future player base, are looking for ... stuff like getting rewards just for logging in etc. are now the mainstream.
