      It would be cool if there was also a way to see previously played matches, since they're all bound to be of such high quality.

    • @adexplorers
      @adexplorers Před 4 měsíci +1

      Agree, now they just need to split the ranking leaderboard. Eg. If you have never done nmpz before, but your rating is 1200. Then you will get matched with people who will crash your overall rating.

      Perhaps the shaking of the screen when a guess is made is to better notify the other player that a guess has been made, in addition to the red border on the screen along with the clock, which many times players don't notice until it's too late.

    I think you should show the leaderboard after each session so the progression is more visible. I get it, it doesn't matter much after the hiatus but i think it would just be a cool little extra to see how you raise up the ranks quickly at the start and where you platau for a bit etc.

    Great video as always Zig. I love the new Ranked No Moving and have been wanting it for a while. However I will say, the devs bungled the rollout in a couple of key ways: first, why get rid of BR Countries Ranked? Second, the screen shake is awful and needs to be removed ASAP. Credit where due for the new game modes, but I hope the devs see the feedback from the community and make those changes soon too.

  • @kimeg7294
    @kimeg7294 Před 4 měsíci

    Are they going to implement separate ELO system for each duel mode? Otherwise, each player will experience a big gap of difficulty level between each mode. A 750 elo player (moving), when playing not moving mode, might face against an opponent of similar elo, but as you know, "not moving" is much harder, and there's obviously less chance for the player to win, throwing the player down to a lower elo. When they're back to "moving" mode, their elo will rise to their usual rating. I don't know how this is going to work out well in the long run. Even for masters and above, playing NMPZ is going to feel burdensome, so it is natural to predict that they will play MUCH less NMPZ's compared to moving. If you don't care about ELO, no worries.
