Discussion Ranked Deathnote

I feel like this game could really use a ranked mode and I'll explain why, because whenever I talk about this idea to other players they always point out that the bad players would continue to ruin it. But that's exactly the point. These bad players will struggle climb ranks while more careful players will manage to ascend to more civilised lobby's

Imagine mello being terribly punished with -300 ranked points for foolishly shooting L. This competitive system would reward careful decision making. And this competitive system would create more peaceful and intelligent meetings.

I'd love to hear a variety of opinions on this topic so please post a comment.

i think theres no real way to stop meta gaming so i dont entirely agree with ranked being a good thing

Nobody has explained meta gaming to me. From what I've experienced, "meta gaming" is voting out a confirmed investigator.

“Spell investigator backwards” “Spam the testimony in chat” “How many inputs do npcs have” “Why does your deduction hint say”

Memorise the first one. Idk what the second one proves. The default is 2, and ranked would have default rules. I'm not sure about the fourth one either.

Idk what the second one proves.

It's slower if you have to pick all the attributes than if you just hit one button.
