Hi, I have been struggling to climb since some time. My every win gives me 1 points while every lose is like -2 or -3 points. I know after a while rating settles and makes it harder to climb just like in another game. But problem here is winning versus a higher rating opponent gives +1 and losing versus a higher rating opponent gives -2. So How can i possible climb ? when you do the math if you wanna climb from lets say 220 to 300 considering your win/lose ratio is 4/1 (which means 2 points in 5 games), 5x40 makes 200 games. However if you have like 3W/1L ratio then its like impossible.
So I think this only leaves people one option that is to wait 2 weeks after the ratings reset and try to climb with a strong deck after the ratings are settled. First days after the reset all good players will be encountered even at 50 rating. So getting some loses is kinda unavoidable and once your rating is settled around lets say 200, then it becomes impossible to climb. If this was a purely skill based game and not a cards game I think it wouldn't be such a big problem, but now it is kinda problematic. There is already this bug where the game don't start and we keep losing rating. So if the game is a bit more forgiving there will be a more flexible league where everyone has a better chance imho. Also people will be more confident trying different decks in real games rather than bots and accordingly we will have more population in the PvP.
So my suggestion is to make a small change on rating system where it gives players chance to climb. Lets say between 220-280 minimum points to earn (even when won vs a lower rating opp) is like 2 points. Also a lose is same points with that.
