Why can't the current mechanisms they use to determine threat bracket a minority of players as green or gold? because threat loss and threat gain are not equal for every player in a match, and its easier to threat up than threat down ever since g1 attempted to combat dethreating with game mechanics so when global threat levels are redistributed (the last time was with the score update iirc?) the population starts at a perfect bell curve for threat, but its left behind as soon as the first matches are played Edited November 5, 2021 by glaciers typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure people's threat could get carried up and down by repeatedly playing with teammates with large disparities in skill but when is that really going to be a serious problem?
