ELO: Votes and restrictions

We've already told you that we were going to see how things would be going with the secret voting system about possible changes in ELO mode. And that's exactly what we’ve done.

Firstly, we’ve decided to leave the voting system as it is. It works well and should work even better in the future with characters banned thanks to votes.

We've checked voting results and the most frequently played characters in ELO stats.
We've decided to permanently ban 5 characters: Kolos, Marco, Zatman, Hawk and Ratanah.

Kolos is permanently banned because it was obvious that you did not want him in ELO any more. He’s been banned nearly every weeks since the voting system release and we thought it was pointless to keep on using your votes against him.

Marco, Zatman, Hawk and Ratanah have also been frequently banned by your votes so we thought that these permanent bans would offer a fairer game.
Admittedly Ratanah was banned less often than Shakra but we calculated that her ban would greatly help in reducing the Roots' dominance while still making them playable. Whereas Shakra’s ban would have left the Roots with very strong chances of building powerful half-decks for a reasonable amount of stars.

We didn’t want to ban any All Stars or Piranas (Smokey or Striker, for example) even if they were concentrating a large part of votes. We figured out you would be more free to vote and decide by yourselves which characters need to be remove from ELO.

Have fun !

Jungo's have no chance at all this week, this may make Jungo players simply stop playing for this week. Not smart UR... it's impossible to play Jungo now in ELO without Sylth...

I noticed that Kolos, Marco, Zatman, Hawk and Ratanah are still available in the player banned ELO list. May I ask why are Kolos, Marco, Zatman, Hawk and Ratanah still not ELO banned despite the announcement? Is it a glitch or am I confused?

As I said earlier, the new bans only mean different cards will be essentially perma-banned (striker, sylth, charlie, etc. ) This doesn't open up the game, it merely closes it down more. Go get your Gheist deck, it's going to be the new uppers.

Yeah I also noticed that. I think it might be a glitch because I haven't seen any topics about it.

I am seconding WindtheGreat's comments, the allegedly ELO banned cards are still playable in ELO. Hopefully this gets rectified soon.

Just tell me the staff won't pull a fast one and reset all ELO scores now that players have had access to the recently banned cards for a few hours now.

I think the bans are in effect now. The problem was probably due to timezone synchronization.
