  1. Hmm, good point Kenny on core split.

     

    Think the original point was the balance of 2d/3d pts and 2d becoming more popular.....tbh seems to have been a good mix recently if you check top 100 daily subs and not just front page monster points. :D

     

    I hadn't looked at 980ti in the shops till yesterday. At 700 quid a pop I'm not surprised 2d and older gen 3d is more popular right now tbh!

  2. This thread seems to have gone from looking for a solution to balance 2d/3d to a complete reworking of the bot!

     

    Back to OP....all imo...

     

    1. Lower threshold on 3d to better balance with 2d. That right there makes it a fair playing field for everyone to bench 2d/3d whatever takes their fancy.

     

    2. Improved scaling of points. All you top guys need to chip in on this one as well imo as it might effect your group more than others.

     

    3. Joe's suggestion for core grouping in 3d sounds good if the aim is to get more people benching a wider variety of 3d. I know just in my team alone many won't bench vantage etc as 5960 is out of reach for a lot of guys. Only downside I can think of with that is ending up with way too many benches if all current ones are kept then split into per core...?

     

    4. Pros don't need a separate league. There's already distinction between extreme/elite etc. Ok, you might not get 1st place ranking in a bench but you still compete in your own league. Enthusiast was highly competitive when I was active a couple of years back and I don't think we cared one iota what the xoc guys were doing. We were still fighting for top h2o honours.

     

    5. If point 1 is sorted then there shouldn't be a need to create separate 2d/3d leagues. Unless your suggesting separate for each then an overall ranking? Danger with that one is it maybe ending up pushing guys more in one direction than they are already. I.e, only concentrating on one league rather than utilising both 2d/3d to gain points.

     

    I definitely think some sort of a poll should be setup as not all will want to speak publicly in this thread I'm guessing. At the end of the day, you can't please everyone and that'll be the biggest hurdle. Some will take it for what it is, hopefully with some middle ground for all. Others will just moan and whine regardless as they won't recognise any middle ground and won't be able to take it on the chin if they don't agree 100% with any changes.
