im with Zepilot here, rating is not always ranking. I like the system of FAF with the rating, that actually makes it possible to make quite balanced games even if you never have played half of the players in your match before. It would not make sense, to make "fun" games (all games are for fun) that would actually hide results from the rating, and therefore making it not work. If a player only plays fungames and is pretty good, he joins a "normal" game with a rating that says "noob" and he will make the match uneven.
Additionally as mentioned play supremacy, adjustable speed or mods to be out of the grid.
you r right on that and i understand what u mean, but ppl dont see it that way. for many the rating is a ranking. losing points is bad and gaining some is good. that's it. they dont bother about the calculation - they dont bother about balancing. they bother about the comparison with other players. and this tool give them a perfect indication.
if you call it ladder or ranking or rating or just score - it doesnt matter. it makes a list, on the top is the best on the bottom the worst. and it is important where you are.
furthermore playing new maps or trying new bo's can risk a bad rating so they ask for a "no rating" button because if they lose they go down in the list.
the rating tool judges the skill of the player. you say this is good because it is easier to balance the games. ok - but some don't want to be judged as lower medium player or just want to try a new bo or new maps. i understand those guys too.Statistics: Posted by Batmansrueckkehr — 13 Nov 2012, 17:04
