I've recently engaged in a series of conversations with Player Support regarding Premier, and I wanted to share my insights here. Premier, with its promise of competitive play and prestigious rewards, seems to be hitting a snag with its promotion system. Here's a breakdown of my exchanges with Player Support:
Issue 1: Promotion Confusion
Our team won back-to-back Premier tournaments, yet we found ourselves stuck in Elite 3 (for the time being) despite our victories in Elite 4 and 5. This raises questions about how promotions are determined in Premier.
Response 1: MMR-Based Divisions
Player Support explained that divisions in Premier are tied to MMR, akin to the regular ranked system. While this provides flexibility, it doesn't necessarily reflect a team's performance in tournaments.
Issue 2: Competitive Perspective
The crux of the matter lies in the disconnect between Premier and the competitive scene. Winning Premier tournaments doesn't seem to correlate with advancement to higher divisions, which undermines the competitive spirit of the mode.
Response 2: Feedback Forwarding
Acknowledging the concerns raised, Player Support assured me they'd forward the feedback to the development team. However, no promises were made regarding potential changes to the system.
Conclusion: A Call for Change
Premier should be a platform where competitive teams thrive and progress based on their tournament performances, not just their MMR. The current system risks alienating dedicated teams who seek recognition and advancement within the Valorant community.
Closing Thoughts
I'm sharing this not out of frustration but out of a genuine desire to see Premier evolve into a more inclusive and rewarding experience for all players. I believe our voices matter, and together, we can urge for positive changes in the game we play.
