# Ranked Battle Changes ## General - Reduce the amount of rating points lost at EoS (https://hackmd.io/@pxIGWOZcSnWaUILhCM8AHg/SkR2oywVi) - Allow Gold+ league battles to have 3 rulesets - Increase the max mana cap at lower leagues - Set `max_cap` and `mana_cap_step_level` to 40 (current is 30) - Set `max_cap_2` to 55 (current is 45) - Add many more rulesets (ideally ones that limit cards that can be used) - Limit by attack type (only melee / only ranged / only magic) - Each card must have a different mana cost - All Monsters start with 1 Health - Summoners apply buffs/debuffs/abilities to the opposite team - Cannot use cards with list of abilities (copy from focuses?) ## New Players - Give a flat +10 rating point increase for Novice league wins (so it takes 10 wins to finish) - Players still do not lose rating for losses in Novice - Do not increase Novice league to more than 100 rating, it will mess up RP calculations for everything else! - Don't allow players to drop below Bronze either from losses or end of season - Create bots that play poorly in Novice league, don't allow them to gain or lose rating - Show messaging to players after they first move into Bronze league explaining about buying/renting cards to move up and earn more rewards ## Ideas (Not Fleshed Out) - Remove Collection Power requirements to move up in leagues - Remove league leaderboards (except for Champion league) - Don't give players an option to remain in a lower league - Remove ELO system, have fixed rating increase/decrease (except for Champion league) - Adjust rating increase/decrease based on ECR?
