I see many conspiracy theories around this thing every time, people saying “X player is checking the friend list to avoid playing top players”.
I didn’t think was true until this ranking, I have two fellow DMGs playing for the top spot, and looks like @NMEduck conveniently stopped playing whenever Ragnar and Destroyer were around.
I don’t discuss Duck’s skills which are surely amazing but it that a coincidence that he pulled off a 44 winstreak and looked stopping playing when Top Players were playing?
Besides that, Ragnar has sent to Duck a friend request, which never been accepted and Duck asked him to send the request.
So this is convenient because Duck by letting the request hang up can see when Ragnar is active, and Ragnar cannot see when Duck is active.
I’ve Been saying this for ages, it’s so dumb they allow something of this ridiculousness to be around, especially when people openly say that they use it to que snipe or avoid top players
Actually, I tried sniping ragnar with a counter team multiple times in the past two days until I heard he switched teams but wasn’t able to face him.
As for destroyer, he messaged me on the first day of ranked wondering when I’d be playing because he didn’t want to face me so I think that’s a moot point. Most of the top players that would be my usual competition aren’t playing anyway due to the holidays so it shouldn’t be a surprise I could get over a 95% winrate for the first two days.
Honestly I didn’t realize I could use it to check the time ragnar last played without him being able to know mine until he pointed it out to me. He kept bugging me on discord asking what my IGN was so I told him to send me a friend request, which I intend to leave in my inbox untouched until the game’s servers shut down.
That’s definitely a good idea. They can hide it just during ranked so it has minimal impact on pve.
Said it before, I’ll say it again. Players should be able to hide any data that can trace back to them from players. The exception being add friend and report buttons built into the battle log.
As for the others saying I’ve been avoiding top players, here’s a list of the ones I can remember facing:
lemon 0-1
TOG meliodas 3-0 rip
janne 1-0
keets 0-1
joaco 1-0
nyorainz 0-1
coltraz (using 999wrld’s acc) 0-1
tondeusencarton 1-0
TNC chaos 1-0
neofink 2-0
yumi 2-0 (he gave up on the first turn both times )
the real kingstun 1-0
some chinese whale 1-0
one of those carnival guys 2-0
There are some more players I crushed that I’m probably forgetting.
This all is so pathetic. It’s a competition where the winner has built a team that can beat most other teams, so the number 1 spot is deserved and justified. What’s the point of avoiding the toughest opponents to reach number 1? If anything, that makes winning incredibly hollow.
I can’t understand people who do this bullshit just to win.
