Players with less than 5 ranked games played are automatically Rookies, and you need 10 games or more to go beyond experienced.
Your rank will only change after playing a ranked game, which in effect leads to the sizes of these brackets vary somewhat over time. You'll also see a person in a higher bracket than a coach with a higher CR. This is by design.
The exact details are not exactly relevant, and I will be monitoring how the system works overall as time goes by. |
Don't want to be obtrusive or necro this, but it might be kinda cool to correlate ranks with the number of games played on top of the current system.
I. e., in order to unlock a higher rank for a certain ranking you'd not only would have to reach the brackets you've mentioned but also would have to have played as many games as SPPs would be needed for the respective player level.
Example 1: In order to be able to become an Experienced Ranked Lizardman coach, you'd need to have played at least 6 games with Lizardman in Ranked.
Example 2: You could only become a Veteran Blackbox coach, if you have played at least 16 games in the Box.
Example 3: You could only become an Emerging Star Combined Goblin coach, if you have played at least 31 games with Goblins (sum of Ranked + Blackbox)
Example 4: You could only become a Legend Combined coach if you have played at least 176 games (sum of Ranked + Blackbox). |

I like that suggestion. Even though I proudly show on my profile that I'm a legend with necros in the box after 3 or 4 games. Would be a very fluffy extension of the CR/title system. |

He didn't say with a race; he said combined. I think he just means all of your games in B & R to be over 176 which is fair |

Okay, the game count for Legend might be a little extreme, but I like the general idea. Not much of a point in being a legend because you have a 10/0/0 record with a race, 3/4 of the wins being lucky. |

To do it in 10 games you'd probably have to have beaten 10 legends. Lucky or not seems fair enough to me. |

I don't know how the system works exactly (and I'm too lazy too read up on it), I only know that I am a "legend" with necros in the box, having played only three games and a 2/1/0 record... I even have it on my coach page because I just find it hilarious. |

Maybe this could be extended to racial rankings as well. |

In fact I also suggested that for racial rankings.
My reasoning: "Legend"-status would be that one special achievement (being top-notch level over a long period of time). |

My impression is that this is already the case for the first few matches. |

Too many stars/super stars/legends around. Everyone is a star here. How is that? |
