I feel like 1800 CSR is far too easy to get. I understand the required CSR goes up as people hit 1800, but I feel it should be harder to obtain.
Edit: This wasn’t really thought out, just came to mind on the spot.
1800 CSR for what? Isn’t it based on the top 200 at that current time?
The fact that you can’t place into Champion out of placement games is bad enough. Ranking system should be skill based not based on how big of a w/l spread you can create by playing a ton and simply winning more than you lose. In it’s current state the CSR system is more of a grind fest for champion if your skill is decent. It is in no way a REAL indicator of skill. Algorithms should be improved and the system should be calculated differently, upping the CSR requirement for Champion even further is counterproductive for determining who is really the best with a ranking system.
Plenty of people in Onyx who don’t have the time to grind out a high CSR value by putting lots of time into getting a ton of wins are better than high-ranked Champions who have a lot more time to play and would smoke them when they are both in the same game. Upping the minimum CSR value for Champion would just make this problem more frequent than it already is, and it is certainly bad enough already.
Not sure what raising the minimum requirement will do. For the lower populated playlists like SWAT and Breakout, you might have 10-20 people who can actually get their CSR that high since it’s so hard to find games in those playlists at that CSR. Took about 15-20 minutes to find a game in Breakout just in the 1800’s bracket.
