What does it take to get promoted???
I steadily climbed from fluffy to clever to gifted. I enjoyed having fun messing around with all the classes. BUT now, I want to get promoted to masters. I may not be the best player in the universe, but I top my league and I'm pretty decent when it comes to strategy

I put on my try hard pants and tightened down my belt.
I no longer play as Adorables, [except for 2v2]
I actually watch replays. [sometimes I don't even bother because I crush people I get matched against]
I am on a 10 win streak!

E.I.
I just played a match on Glitch as player 2. We are both Bombshell team. Scallywags? He neve once touched my base or spawned a bombshell. I thought that was weird, or maybe I'm a little crazy.

A winning streak means increasing your hidden rating, if you lose it doesn't mean you won't get promoted
The hidden rating determines who you get matched against, when yours is high enough to get matched against master league players it means you are close to a promotion, you need to win two games against master league players to get promoted
Goodluck

RE: What does it take to get promoted???
I have an old thread named about the same as this one. It took me about 30 games from clever to gifted and about another 25 to get to masters. But I've only lost 2 games (out of 60). Once I was matched up against the next league for I think 5-7 games, I was promoted. It was definitely more than 2 games for me.

RE: What does it take to get promoted???
Yes I agree with Thrutchy, my experience is very similar. The promotions from Fluffy to Clever and from Clever to Gifted both took about 30 games with >95% wins, and after being matched against players from the league above for about 5-7 games. I'm currently in Gifted and have started being matched against Masters... I already have 4 wins above my class, still waiting for promotion.

I started out as a fluffy. Mostly clever to gifted. Very long at masters. Now stuck at super-titan. Smile

I'm pretty sure with this system everyone thinks they know how it works but no one really does. I just got promoted to super Titan off master players. You don't have to beat the league above you to get promoted, it just helps. The only thing for sure you need is a good win:loss

RE: What does it take to get promoted???
I started in fluffy. It only took 10 quick wins for me to go into clever. In the clever league, it took me about 60 games to get promoted to gifted. I realized that about 10 games from promotion i was matched up against gifted players. So I think the you are promoted once you can prove that you can beat those with a better skill rating. I do think promotion is way to slow and the ranking system needs to be changed so we can see the "hidden ranking".
