If people play lots of big DSD games then they obviously enjoy it.
And besides, there are loads of different maps being played all the time.
A system which stops me from playing certain maps or only lets me play them if I stab a monkey is phail.

You can't force people to not play BA 8v8 on DSD. It looks like you're trying to make a contrived points system to make people do things they don't want to do.

There's nothing stopping you from playing other maps.

If we dotn want some better ranking ok with me. But this ranking sytem isnt much contributing.

Ranking sucks so much adv players wont consider a 2vs2 for example on smaller maps.

DSD games dont ask from ppl alot of new strategy dephelopment in general.(it could)

And if it dont get used nobody get forced, but if it is being used it can be positive training.

I don't see where deduction comes from.

There's a ladder for people who want a ranking system. I think enforcing it on everyone is a bad idea because with all the variables in a game stats don't mean much (teamgames).

If you mean rankings should be based upon Win - Death ratio I'm with you on that, but I'm in total disagreement with everything else your saying :P

Edit:
No, I changed my mind, Win - Death ratio rankings would have too many flaws and cheating.

I am in total disagreement with everything your saying.

I would like to see general stats, what units are getting built, lifetimes of said units, etc.

I bet this can be acquired via the demo file.. all of the data needed for stats whores like myself can be acquired out of a demo. So I guess you lot are requesting a ladder in the lobby but it would be AWESOME if the demo files could be auto sent to a place that could retrieve all kinds of stats.. damn I want that.

Not at all, the statement you made is entirely uncalled for.

feedback on units preferred by players, units that die a lot, unit lifetimes and information of that sort can help with balance work. Recording how many kills a player gets with a hero, how many games played as each faction etc..

all of that stuff could be funneled into a stats system like halo. I would love one day to have detail stat tracking where players could have medals etc. However, before I could plan anything like that I need to be able to get stats. You think people want ladders I think people like stats. Hell I want to see who has the most kills to deaths using the T61 or fanfan.

That sort of thing is fun, by having a stats page I can effectively monitor balance concerns and give players whole pages full of bragging rights. ESP if there is a name, let's say a federation player is looking for a good zeon player having stats with medals and shit would enhance the experience all while giving me important feedback!

missions are not the same as multiplayer stats. Players earn those online against real people. I don't want players sending me some of the demos I want all of the gundam demos for this sort of thing. If players could choose what demos they could send they can then cheat the stat system or pick and choose games that they do well in.

Someone should write a lua gadget that records this data then saves it in a file using the game ID as the identifier. If someone did this I would gladly integrate uploading into battlehub at some point in the future
