Winter is coming, the jolliest ELO season of the year! The Elo Winter Season will start a bit early, Monday December 18th 2017 and will run throughout the entrie winter until March 20th 2018.

It has been more than half a year ago since we last did an ELO season, so here is a link to an announement to get you up to speed.

By the end of the season everybody who participated will gain the Winter ELO Season badge of the league tier you ended up in by the end of the season.

All players that are in Diamond league by the end of the season will get the unique Snow trail which will be the only way to ever get this trail in your inventory.



Based on what we have learned during the ELO Beta Season we made some changes for the Winter ELO Season:

More points!
In the previous season certain close games could give as few as 1.5 points or something underwhelming like that. More points are given this season, but the league requirements also have gone up!

Inactivity penalties
During last season the best tactic was pretty much to reach Diamond league and not play anymore after that. Furthermore if you had not played for a while the system would assume your skill level was still the same. If you don't play on average 1 game per day over a period of 14 days in the Winter Season you will start losing 100 points every day.

Individual initial rating
The start of previous season was pretty rough for a lot of players because players of all skill levels started with the same ELO rating. For the Winter Season we use the ratings from the previous Beta season to offset the initial rating a bit. This way the matchmaking system can actually find matches of your skill from the very start.

We hope you will enjoy the season.

Happy Holidays,
