There are only 42 people in Gold (Arena) League. Since only the top 20% move up, that means only eight or nine will progress into Platinum, and only two people will progress into Diamond for its first season. :O

Well it's the intent of the league system to separate the bad the mediocre and great players.So what's your point?

My point is that it will be very small. Nothing else, really, just commenting on it rather than stating whether or not it's how it should be.

Sure it will be small at first,but each time people advance in rank it will get filled with hopefully the best of the best. So it won't be so bad.Also can people from a higher league get matched with people from lower league?

Yes, as time goes on, each tier will gradually level out (for the most part).

And yeah, cross-tier grouping is possible (probable, really). At the start of each season, your rating is reset to the base value of each tier. Bronze is 1,000; silver is 1,500; gold is 2,000; etc. and it attempts to group you with the closest rating. If it can't do that, it will group you with players above or below you (which explains being grouped with a "BR hue" person at the bottom who locks Thor despite the composition of the team and proceeds to go 1/10).

That's rude. But thanks for explaining the League system, I didn't understand it at ALL.

Well in that case it won't be that bad.Also I hope this league system will pan out for Smite.The pure elo system was eh ... flawed to say the least.

It's still the same pure elo system, really. Just with monthly resets. All of the league stuff is completely aesthetic out of those benchmark numbers every first of the month. You're matched by total elo which is only showed on the player stats page on HiRez' website. The top player in gold can lose thirty games in a row and keep their top spot since their top 10 games are still the same, but if their elo has tanked down to ~1200, they'll be playing in bronze level games.

The league system is just a nice ribbon on ranked. I like the exclusivity of the top levels, and I think it's drummed up a lot of interest from players that may not have cared about just raising a mostly unknown number.

I do hope they bring back the demotions once there are enough players though. Silver is going to be tens of thousands of people in a couple months if the bronze advancement pool counts everyone who plays 1 game.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
