New bracket on LTD bot

[kirbystealer]

Looking through some of the archived posts, it seems there was once a bot that was 1200+ elo?

Why was this removed or why didn't it work out?

It seems like the quality of the average pub game would go up if this bracket existed
It's lots more fun to play games where both teams at least know the basics or have an interest in working as a team.

How about making every game number that ends in a 5 be a 1200+ elo game?

It was phased out in favor of LIHL, see http://wiki.entgaming.net/index.php?title=EntGaming:LIHLGuide for more information

Seems like it might be hard to get a game for LIHL though, as the pool of players is small.
Like the no-cross bot, which takes forever to fill.

For the pub bot though, the pool of players is large, so the bot fills quickly, but there's no way to ensure balance.

LIHL is a vouch-based league where almost always at least one game is running. You usually just have to jump on the game-train and can play almost non-stop then :p
The HR bot (ELO requirement, and some rules) was not used anymore once LIHL started so it was taken down one day.

If you are interested into LIHL you can apply here:

The issue with HR Bot was there weren't any games. No one cared about the 1200+ ELO, and back then there were far fewer 1200s. LIHL has a far better player pool, with much more active players then pubs that would go HR.

But u have to apply for lihl, that means u can get rejected no matter how high elo u are.
And if u do get rejected u are "stuck" with the low elo players. and then u will get the issue of finding a decent game according to ur elo
thats just my oppinion

Well, this doesn't change the fact that the HR bot wasn't used anymore :p
And ELO doesn't mean much anyway in public games.
