Sour and bland tastes are different!!!
And how different should these systems be? ... so different that one deserves rewards, and the other doesn't?
The question is still what exactly about Blitz caught your attention?... If you simply have a less favorable opinion of offline play (compared to online play), then that's understandable. But Blitz isn't the issue here. Also, why did the conversation suddenly turn to ratings, when the topic is about something else?

Off-topic messages have been moved to the thread: Rating for Tournaments across all parts of Heroes.
I hope you understand.

Sincerely.

Such a tournament can be called a "training session," and I :smile52: find it amusing :smile52: that it awards rating points.
According to the criteria you listed, ANY tournament can be called a training session (even an online tournament :) ). However, rating points are awarded for any other standard offline tournament.

This Tournament could be called a "tutorial," and I find it amusing that it awards rating points.
The difficulty of the Tournament and the justification for awarding rating points are primarily determined by those who have participated in it, which, in your case, you haven't, and secondly, by the people responsible for awarding the rating itself.

It's clear that no one is interested in inflating the rating with "easy" Tournaments. I made a proposal, and it received support. So, everything is quite reasonable. If we were to apply your approach, two-thirds of the rated Tournaments would lose their rating simply because someone might find a map too easy...

By the way, if we apply the main principle of online play – the most important thing is to win, no matter the cost – most of the Blitz maps will seem simple. If the goal is simply to complete the map without considering that two dozen opponents are simultaneously competing on the same map.

And the rating was primarily intended as an additional incentive to attract players to Tournaments.

Although I didn't participate, I played it separately. I liked the skeleton gathering. And that's all...

I liked the second stage the most; the first and fourth stages were also good for blitz. However, I didn't like the third stage – it required a lot of battles, and I don't think this stage was very suitable for part of the blitz tournament. I didn't play the fifth stage at all, so I can't say anything about it. Overall, my impression of the blitz tournament is that I didn't get quite what I expected from this tournament in terms of the proposed tasks. I would have liked to see at least one purely combat-oriented stage (for example, winning a specified battle with the fewest losses), but there were no such tasks :(.

There were missions of that kind! But, due to the fact that...

That's a shame... ;)

As far as I can tell, the 5th stage clearly doesn't involve just 1 battle ;) you need to play through it to achieve the maximum result.
Yeah... which is what everyone wanted, it seems... Look at how the votes were distributed across the different stages...
The fifth stage was clearly a success, and our people are always up for a fight... :)

Attention!
The sixth round of the Blitz Tournament has begun.
I suggest that everyone who wants to participate familiarize themselves with the rules for completing it.

This didn't bother me at all... and believe me, the fact that I found 19 errors in your "Walkthrough" in one go says something...
Well, then, let the author know about it, and specify which errors you found.
Alex_R;98642

...and completing these maps without "cheat sheets" and descriptions is by no means an indicator of skill, at least for me!!!
:) Nevertheless, everyone completed these blitzes with varying levels of skill, which is what the rating reflects :p And whether the walkthrough was completed with or without cheat sheets, I think it doesn't matter much :)
Alex_R;98642

And don't tell me:
"why did they come up with a rating?"
"that I'm confusing something."
P.S. Read the topic carefully, especially the LAST TWO WORDS!!!:smile01:
No, well, you can express any opinion, whether you liked it or not, whether it was a good or bad tournament. But what does the rating have to do with it? This has all been discussed and it was decided to use it for these blitzes. In my opinion, it is quite logical to give ONE rating for 5-6 blitzes.

P.S. I was just expressing my opinion... and you and Amber already started a debate about the rating!!!
It's just that when you expressed your opinion about the tournament, you inadvertently touched upon the rating, so I chimed in. Otherwise, I wouldn't have cared. Everyone has the right to have their own opinion about specific tournaments :p

The tournament was very good; I learned a lot for myself, thank you to the organizers.
