1v1 Training Grounds?
I'm thinking of removing Elo for Hysteria, and instead having a 1v1 "Training Ground" game (it would be a side feature like bingo) where you get matched with an opponent and play a comp against them which will change your elo. This should satisfy both the practice comp crowd and still have a competitive elo scene for those who want to climb!
I loved the idea of having elo for games but I'm not sure the site is big enough yet to sustain fairness in an 11 person ranked game.
I also think Hysteria would in turn become more exciting if players could swing big without fearing their elo dropping. This begs the question though - Waiting Rooms or no waiting rooms? 1 Game at a time? Lots to think about.

But make only change the elo , don’t win points . So it will be perfect for practice
Hell yeah!!
I looooove the idea
Maybe keep Elo process the same but do no waiting room?
Oh I love this 1v1 thing. I want to say Zwooper had something similar and it was nice
I like the idea of doing comps with people in your same rank, because the scores would be close (hopefully). It's not fun going against someone who can easily get 10,000 in holey, and your excitement over beating your personal best of 3000 just disappears. It would encourage those to challenge the good comp players in Arena and not hope for luck comps (but I do love them). "I loved the idea of having elo for games but I'm not sure the site is big enough yet to sustain fairness in an 11 person ranked game" I don't know what "fairness" is being addressed, but please keep the waiting rooms, because not knowing who I am playing against is a fun thrill and helps avoid getting cold feet. There have been numerous games that I avoid playing because I see comp beasts and obvious tight groups where joining them would ensure that I would get an early boot and have no chance of winning or even getting to know people since they are focused on doing the comps or just talking to their groups and ignoring others. The waiting room AT LEASTS gives me a chance to avoid some of it. Kind of like how luck comps gives those a chance to win and beat those who play and train these challenges like their lives are on the line. Yeah, it sucks waiting, but that is why there is an unenroll button. I haven't played that many hysteria's but the ones I have played have all been fun because I had no clue who I was against and I had to quickly adapt just like everyone else even if a group tried to join together, they still would have to scramble if they got split up. "I also think Hysteria would, in turn, become more exciting if players could swing big without fearing their elo dropping. This begs the question though - Waiting Rooms or no waiting rooms? 1 Game at a time? Lots to think about." That should be happening already, even before ELO. If people are scared to make big swing moves because of a rank, then that is on them. High risk, high reward. A game or system shouldn't get punished because people are chicken shit scared for playing it "safe". Thank you for coming to my Robin talk. Please provide more water. Keep being you. XOXO - Robin.
*not frenzy - hysteria
Also, I love the addition of the waiting rooms in outcasted and frenzy tbh I also appreciate that you are thinking of ways to give players more opportunity to play the mini games risk free
Make it so you put money on the line (something small like 20) and winner takes all
Like duel?
would this allow me to play chain pop whenever I want :D
Ranked should be Frenzy only
honestly i almost suggested something like this! like how on zwooper there was a daily leaderboard for each comp, which paid out at reset each day. it was nice to have something you could do casually and solo.
It would be possible if you add just one more waiting room to prevent people from joining the same games with their friends to premade with them. More people to randomize, less chances of the same friend group playing together
ELO is the main reason I play hysteria
I like the current system </3
purr
love this
Yesssss
I think the 2 max hysterias at a time was working, could've also been it being new. Also like waiting rooms, anything to prevent premades
Y. E. S.

Elo should represent more than just comp skills
cswaggerr well said

No waiting rooms, or reveal who is in the waiting room!
