#4803, "RE: Practicing (Ranking.)"


          

>How about if it took 2/3 the time to rank.

That's a fairly modest reduction. Not something I'd expect to be such a "big deal". My guess you'd see the game become top-heavy with heros, and the sorts of people who master skills would have to up the time they spend doing dedicated practicing (since there would be less opportunity to learn while ranking).

Out of curiosity, how did you arrive at the 2/3 figure? I mean, why not make it take 1/3 the time? 1/4? At some point it becomes trivial to hero a character, which I hope you would agree is a bad thing.
