SamSpayed: Brian, what you're talking about is setting the MINIMUM PLAYER RANK (eg. Legend) when setting up an AS game. What elcasey is asking for is the option to set a MAXIMUM PLAYER RANK.
Sounds like the sort of thing Henry would enjoy in MP, but I suppose there's no reason why not.
It seems to me that everyone's "unfairness" is different these days.
The OP starts out by saying it's the average "I don't get how the system matches up 2 68 average players vs 1 68 avg player & a 58 avg player. As a 68 avg player"
Then "lol it's not about my win rate. I couldn't care less about that, you're the one who brought it up, as if i'm "concerned" about losing. The closer games are, the more fun it is. That's just a fact...and usually if you have even 1 out of 4 of the players who are way better than the other 3, whatever team he's on will win easily." and on to "I'm sure WGT could add an option for a maximum level of opponent, so that a Pro doesn't have to play a Tour Master, or a Master doesnt have to play against a Champion if he so desires."
I know he meant maximum tier and not level (of opponent), but how about level?
I wondered when/if this inbalance was happening what the effect would be. The simple answer seems if as suggested the better players side wins easily then one time in three the op would be on the winning side. That would lower the win average below 50%. I know this isn't every game so it wouldn't result in a win rate of 33% or anything like it but, all other things being equal, a little less than half games would be won.
This is a L92 Master , ave 68.58, that's been playing since 2012. In that time he's only played 312 rr's but is more experienced in Alt Shot with 1,479 games (894 wins and 585 losses).
So games based on average?: That's just so volatile, a round after tiering up it could be anywhere and left there if the player wanted, after saturation it only comes down.
Tier: The higher tiers are reached (most easily) by playing ranked rounds, winning credits, or somehow (I don't know how and I suspect more slowly) through coin games. Alt Shot players who avoided these wouldn't raise tier much/at all (?) I think the op falls in this category he has one rr showing on his history and all his apparel is level 1. I could be wrong, maybe he plays lots of coin games and just doesn't upgrade it.
So we have someone with an alt shot win rate of just over 60% saying how higher tier players are making the games uneven. These higher tier players are likely to include L90 Legends giving him distance off the tee and an edge in experience, perhaps overall but even more so in alt shot. Playing more rr's and less alt shot is hardly an advantage.
