  1. the level of competition, the urge to gain higher rank and the dream to get red one day makes it very interesting
  2. unrated contests like atcoder should be there. sometimes, we can't fully participate in a contest due to any reason but we also want to participate. it happened with me in last div. 3, I had exam in morning but I wanted to participate so I couldn't give the best. Having unrated contests will be very helpful in these situations.

  1. Competition and improving your problem-solving skills are what make you enthusiastic to continue and reach the best possible level

  2. Different times for competitions to give everyone a chance to participate effectively.

  1. Considering how long it exists it had a lot of time to improve.
  2. This is so random but the ability to see who has me set as a friend(I have 38 friends and i have no idea who 33 of those could be).

  1. Problem set is pretty much the best[problems involves thinking more]
  2. Dark Mode + feature of checking whom have added friend to me + Unrated register in contest..

Pros:

  • Full of functionalities (Contests, Problem sets, users, and ability to filter and sort them all).

  • Variety of difficulties (Div. 1, 2, 3, 4).

  • Famous: Strong competition, reliable ranks, and global community.

  • Original problems in the official contests with tutorials and discussion after that.

  • Non official Groups and Mashups.

Cons:

  • Can be overwhelming for newbies.. Needs updated FAQs.

  • Focused on challenge rather than education (Hard to find standard problems).

  • Edu section is high quality but does not cover all topics (yet)!

  • problems designed to be solved under 2 h.. No room for complex problems and harder topics.

  • Real time Online Judge which rewards guessing the algorithm instead of fully prove and validate it.
