Feast (Light Party) and Boosting

[nickx]

I don't play much anymore but I thought I'd share something about ranked light party.

Unfortunately, light party can be exploited easily by anyone who is half decent. For example, Player A, B, C and D are all at 900 rating, and when they beat a much lower team, they all get the same rating gain of 1 point a win. Because of this, Player A can simply queue with 3 different players who have little to no rating, and since everyone gets the same amount of rating per win, he is awarded +20 points for beating the same low team. Even if Player A and B queue up with 2 lower players, they still obtain a pretty good amount of rating gain.

This was done across most of the Data Centers in ranked light party for the #1 spot, and just one of the reasons I stopped participating in PvP a long time ago. Can you really blame the player? Not sure, since it is SE's fault for implementing such a poor system. But it certainly made light party much less prestigious and a bad indicator of who the really good team players were.
