Who else does not like the way tie-breaks are resolved?

Answer 1

I personally don't like the fact that if you challenge someone and do 5:0, after that you can still loose even if you've answered all questions. That leaves high level players with basically one option - to challenge low levels....
Think it would be better to:
1. Decide the win over the time you took for answering, or
2. Leave it a tie and somehow split the points, or
3. Start a new challenge until someone looses within the 5 rounds.

Answer 2

After a tie-break start automatically a new challenge with another random language !

Answer 3

Questions are repetitive too... Challenges have become less enjoyable

Answer 4

what happened in the end?

Answer 5

Hi, Nikolay! As first I believe the challenges are a good way to experience the languages and their syntax.. Perhaps instead of draw I would prefer a win valuated on the time used to answer the question.. Thanks!

Answer 6

I am agree with returning the tie breaks to challenges. There was much sense by this way. Present solution is also acceptable, but I prefer to have the opportunity to choose personally what form of challenge ending I would use. It will be more stress for development stuff but definitely will be strongly appreciated by the crowd here. It will add flexibility so I am encouraging for it.
Maybe it should be considering how to proceed the ties I believe there's more effective way of implementing the process. I meant for both players came to a tiebreak.

Answer 7

@Jonathan so far Sololearn does not provide such option.

Answer 8

@Jonathan, no, sorry!

Answer 9

The challengers are at a disadvantage

Answer 10

Just installed the new version of the app. Now they have draws - if I draw with someone who challenged me I loose XP. Still don't know what happens if someone I've challenged draws with me. Gotta say, that makes even less sense than before. Really disappointed 😣

Answer 11

So when I tie with you, usually I get none or 1XP. how much you lose? Do you even? You are a great player. I wonder if you can score lesser than 5 anytime. Well, thanks for challenging(training/teaching) me. Hope that I will win. 1:20 probability;

Answer 12

I think the short time of the challenges makes the user's under stress and many times it is just chance or automatically written the answer from the past sessions ( memorized ). I please for little bit more time during the challenges to put down level of stress and to get more opportunity of logically thinkig .

Answer 13

@Mielu you have the luxury of learning more languages don't waste go learn python

Answer 14

Challenges are BS now if you ask me...
Win and get 5 points
Loose and get up to -38 points
Draw and get up to -32 points

I mean... wtf?!?!?!!! I don't see the logic here... I also posted complains about this... I'm doing ONLY C++ and it's impossible for me to level up now... I was at 1800 points before the last update and now I'm dangling between 1550 and 1500... luckily I opened another badge now and jumped up to 1990 points but after 2 draws I'm back at 1950 now and I have many challenges in "waiting" status and I'm pretty sure I won't go up pretty soon... Plus it's stupid that once you leveled up if you go under again then your level will decrease again... wtf???!!!

Answer 15

@Nikolay is it possible for you outside sololearn?
