I go like 12-0 in almost all my games at high Ancient since getting back into the game and I’m climbing at about 55-60% winrate, so if you’re just “playing ok” that’s not good enough.

Took me 3 months to get out of that bracket then just shot up through the rest. It is harder than the higher ranks I shit you not, because of the griefing.

Behaviour score is fucked now and not based off of your reports or commends. You can tell because of your conduct summary reports on your actual steam account (not in-game). New system is fucked and you cannot get out of low behaviour. I get maybe 100-200 behaviour score back per 15 games. That means I should have 12000 after 750 games.

750 GAMES.

That’s like an eighth of my total games. That’s like over 1000 hours including queueing.

Self accountability and strength of will are all that’s required to not gamble. I can’t feel bad for people who fall into it despite every streamer saying you will lose.

And I can’t fault Arteezy for making a bag off it either. Every team is sponsored by a gambling company, why not him? Arguably our scene isn’t half as big or consistent without gambling.
