Agreed. It’s kind of weird that you have to search on both names to get the listing to show up. I really wish it would work where you could just put in your own name and it’d show you every listing you have in the 2v2 ranking ladder with all of your various partners.

Actually, I did not know that. So, maybe we are in there after all. D:

T2A`: Are you sure? You know you have to search the 2v2 rankings ladder on both of your names, separated by a space, in lexigraphical order, right?

I played four 2v2 ranked games, all with the same partner, and our names never showed up in the rankings anywhere.

i’m against it personally. It really will not serve the purpose. Keeping current ladder will allow current top players to remain on top. It would be frustrating if i had to fight my way to the top (if i was anywhere near it of course)

Huh, I’m surprised that more people are in favor of this than I would have guessed. That’s what polls are for.

i’m guessing the reset would take place within weeks rather than months.

I think as long as they give PLENTY of warning to an exact reset date, there shouldn’t be that many complaints. They need to give probably at least a couple of months’ warning though, just so people won’t try extra hard to get their rank up right before the reset. I guess this would have the negative effect of people not playing in the months leading up to the reset. But if they’re convinced the game has changed enough to warrant a reset, it probably needs to be done sometime. I’m sure the top players could and would quickly re-establish themselves anyway.

Resets are fine, maybe that the current position should be stored for that “Look what I achieved before the reset”-showing-off-kind-of-people. Besides, 2vs2 has been (still is?) more two times 1vs1 than anything else due to poor starting positions.
