I actually sighed when I realized I hadn't done my Loki pvp yesterday night and had to do it before I went to sleep as the mono 141 MMR it is not viable to get a good score in the last several hours. Games are long tedious and punishing. I was looking for a match 3 game for years and this is it, all they literally need to do is revert the pvp changes in the last week and I will be fine. No tanking is fine, just keep the brackets fully random and relax the mmr so its not 141's from the go. Lower ranked teams that increased in difficulty as you increased in points is the only fair way to do this and pre kyipgate was the pvp golden age imo. If they keep the new changes...I don't know...

I've seen the reference to kyipgate a lot, and I still don't know what it is. Anyone care to enlighten me? Pretty please?

I've seen the reference to kyipgate a lot, and I still don't know what it is. Anyone care to enlighten me? Pretty please? The jist is there was a guy named kyip in the last falcon tourney who shielded north of 1k in points. But due to some fluke he was able to be found in queues and hit for points, constantly. And he had an attractive team of free falcon, OBW, max Lazy thor. And as time went in he got some defensive wins and he kept inflating in score injecting points into the pool as it happened. I think people started to retreat to him on purpose to raise his points to farm him longer, he reached upwards to 1800. I think someone from Shield (the ladder maybe) broke 2k points due to farming him. This happened with 16 hours left in the tourney and he was no longer visible about 8 hours from the end. So scores shot up and the next pvp was delayed for about 6 hours or more while D3 fine tuned stuff, and now we have the pvp you see today. The MMR not the sharding. Both suck, but they are not related.

However, I'm also dangerously close to stopping for a few days to just try to reset myself. I doubt that I could walk away easily, but it still has to be a consideration at times.
