Personally, when I came here, I understood that Natasha organizes great Tournaments in which strong and experienced players participate.
This is exactly why people don't want to play with you and prefer less challenging tournaments.
It's not even based on the fact that they DEFINITELY won't win anything here.
For many, besides victory, the spirit of the tournament and its competitiveness, followed by an emotional release, are of interest.
They don't want to because it's not interesting to play with you. They know 100% that they won't even make the top 4, and are 90% sure that your result will be, at the very least, 3 times better!
And you aren't particularly fond of sharing emotions, tactics, and strategies.
Hence the dryness of the competitions...
As for the map of the 2nd round, when we completed it, no one shared any secrets, tactics, or pros/cons... nprf said later that there was nothing interesting there and nothing to discuss!
For you — I UNDERSTAND that you have nothing to discuss, but for others, it was necessary.
Personally for me — this was my first TOURNAMENT, and it would have been very pleasant and useful if someone had told me what was right and what was wrong — conducted a "post-flight debrief." I didn't even understand how far behind I was, what my opponents had, or what I SHOULD have been striving for!?
By nature, I am a very strong and proud Loner, and overcoming difficulties is like a dose for an addict (especially if I do it myself, without outside help). But that doesn't mean I don't accept help from others — it's just my character: I will gladly help people, but I am not used to asking for help.
I learn on my own, BUT I still participate in Natasha's tournaments only because this is the only place where I can become stronger and more experienced. Now there is also the League.
As sad as it is to say, but your Tournaments are turning out to be strictly Closed, no matter how much you might not want that... :(
It's sad, because I would like to see the opposite...
My opinion is as follows:
"Until a Unified rating system appears, participants will have no real incentive to play Better and Better; there will only be a desire to win, and to win where they can!
Likewise, the rating of our forum will remain at the same zero level until we bring order via a Uniform system! Because some of us calculate ratings according to One system, others have invented their own system, and a third group doesn't calculate anything at all.
From the outside, it looks like a group of people living in one room, but each hiding in their own corner and living by their own rules.
And you still want people to notice us and respect us..."
Respectfully,
Prorock.
I agree about 90 percent. Let me explain regarding the debrief. In the second round, it basically didn't matter which direction to go or which AI to hit first. All the secrets of the Walkthrough were limited to small tactical tricks. And the result depended more on the choice of heroes and whether someone realized that you need to collect liches, demons, and skeletons on the map.
Now, the first and third rounds could be broken down step-by-step. As far as I know, Natasha did something, but because of her desire to leave HeroesWorld forever, she stopped posting any theoretical information here. Let's hope she returns, although I doubt it more and more.
The reasons for the unwillingness to share all secrets are also clear: why grow your competitors? We teach those who are ready to play on our team!
I've long been convinced that nobody here wants anything! And most of the problems lie precisely in the "power game" and the desire of some to manage someone or something. As long as it is possible on HeroesWorld for anyone who feels like it to organize tournaments — that is how we will live.
I've written many times about ratings. A unified system is needed!!!
But this has long been a question for the Admin, not a topic for forum discussion. A decisive ruling on the rating system and the appointment of tournament leads is required.

Oh, that's just not true!!! That's not at all why EVERYONE went there... I might be blunt now — but, dear nprf, you have too high an opinion of yourself!!! Not everyone and not always looks to you and your play, your participation or non-participation in a certain tournament... Curb your pride and conceit!!! ;)
Agreed. nprf went a bit too far.
Although he pointed out the reasons for not participating in the Heroes League championships correctly. It was more about what was happening on the forum then!
As for who went where and where they will end up, we'll see. For now, I've downloaded the save and the map, which I didn't like at all. It's a matter of taste, but I wonder who will want to amass strength just to kill 4000 black dragons.
But one SHOULD look to nprf and his gameplay! It's strange that there is no incentive to beat him and thereby prove that he is wrong about something! It's time to settle disputes through the game, not on the forum!!!
