Just saying this in the feedback since I know some people don't read the individual inhouse threads:
I would like to suggest that we expand the brackets we've been using in the NA inhouses.
Some of the people who were actively playing in the under 500s (FatelBlade, Cyclopes) are now in the 600-700 range. This reduces our player pool (which was only around 11 or so) to under the number of players we need to hold a proper inhouse. For the past several weeks we've been inviting players who've just passed the 500 win mark, but instead of just inviting them last minute, I suggest we allow them to sign-up. The group this set of inhouses is appealing to is just too small to work properly.
Change the brackets to something like: under 800, 800+?
No reason to say those people can't play in both, maybe: under 800, over 600?
A bunch of people with more than 500 wins are still at 1.2k ELO, so maybe wins isn't the best way to do the brackets? People have said this before, but now that it is an issue we're trying to mend, might be helpful to think about.
Change the brackets to ELO of: less than 1200 / unranked, 1300+?

If you were 1500 ELO + and had under 500 wins I feel like it would be reasonable to let you in (though I would expect you to have played like 50 matches...

Interested in playing some League with other MobaFire members? Play in our weekly inhouses!
It doesn't work as well in the opposite direction because people might've not bothered playing ranked, or not played much ranked, and still be good. However, if you play ranked and PROVE you are good that can work in your favor. Also, people are gonna throw a fit if they are told to play in lower brackets because their ELO isn't good, and that's gonna bring up all kinds of arguements about how ELO is illegitimate etc etc. I would rather it just be able to work in your favor rather than against you.
I've wanted to do an inhouse for plat players and above, since I think we are getting close to that point but not quite there. We could try an inhouse for gold players+? I think we would have enough for that. I'm just not sure how to edit the other inhouses to allow for more people because I'm afraid of running 3 games on the same server on the same weekend.
I agree we could up the games played threshold in the lower bracket inhouses or make them overlap somewhat.

Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!
I'd like to see some CC Dominion games, been talking with some fellas and some of my friends agree that while many people don't think Dom is competitive at all, they disagree and want to have somewhere they can have competitive matches, it just so happens we're doing inhouses so I thought this would be a good place to have some. Currently the only real constructive dom matches are in tournaments with your own team, and it's pretty hard to find a team or tournaments at all, so yeh.
I will look into it. It is a fun and overlooked game mode (though everything is kinda overlooked compared to SR). The problem is a lot of the time people don't want to play if it's not SR and we need 10 people.

I think i'll be able to find at least 4 people + me to join one, so as long as you advertise or w/e around the forums or possibly even on a site like DominateDominion, there should be plenty of people.
i was going to suggest this be separate from SR CC's anyways, it shouldn't be a big deal to have 3 inhouses instead of 2 for 1 week.
