# 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?
