Solution for getting slaughtered in Main after leaving Beginners

I've heard from quite a few players how much they hated moving to the Main room after Beginners at rank 5. Getting completely slaughtered, arrogant high-rank players, leaving friends behind (who are still below rank 5) and so on. This is not fun, and there must be a solution to it.

I believe it's been proposed by Pulse to have automatic rank limits in games. For example, if a rank 0 player creates a game, the limit will be set to 0-3 by default. For rank 5 it might be 3-7 and so on. These default values can still be changed on the initial game settings screen.

With that in mind, room limits might be broadened, with larger overlap to allow for smoother transition.

What do you think? Will it work? What are the potential downsides? What should the default limits be for various ranks? What should be the new room limits?

I was working hard, somehow became R6, then R7... bought premium and became R8. After that, everything was going easily. Loading... Loading...

Is phone to abuse, specially when you're rank 8 and put something like "Rank 0 to 8". That already ruins competition when some players farm ELO in that way.... Loading... Loading...

Let them set ranks but force it to allow players upto 2 ranks above? for example 1 could fight 3, 4 could fight 6? and I am ALL FOR GETTING RID OF BEGINNERS ROOM most my friends I played with in begginers room near stopped playing cause group of us got split between the 2 rooms and just became less fun I know doesn't take long to reach r5 but when only play maybe a game a day or so it can take a bit ---- The best players are those who think outside the box and aren't afraid to try something new Loading...

Currently, rank 5 is only the limit... But anyway, if my proposal was implemented you guys could hold at beginner room until you feel strong enough to move forward.

Then I left for a while. When I came back r9's were everywhere. It's harder now for new players than it was before. Maybe an optional intermediate room, ranks 5 - 7, but still allowing them to be eligible for main room action. That would give them a"difficulty setting" that keeps them from roflsmashing r1-4s, but still gives them somewhere to hide when they get sick of getting roflsmashed by rank 8,9,10s etc. Loading...

I learned how to actually DO stuff and figured out how to get troops moved quickly from seeing what other people did. I mainly learned from knez youtube and that helped IMMENSELY, along with the master of stealth demonstration. I still get destroyed but now at least I know HOW I got destroyed lol. ---- The enemy is in front of us, the enemy is behind us, the enemy is to the right and left of us.

(maybe +0.1 per 5 ranks higher, i'm afraid it might be prone to abuse if we do +0.1 per level higher) So a rank 10 vs. rank 10 would gain 1x SP.
