Another thing: people host based on rating. Say a Seton's get hosted with 900-1600 in the title. The 0 (1500) joins, gets kicked for "too low rating". That guy thinks "wtf.. 1500 is in the 900-1600 subset..."

I agree, we need to have the global rating system ranked on all matches like it is now, I don't understand the whole 'update this once a week' scenario. Not sure how that contributes to solving the problem. Basically I would like 1v1 ranked to affect global rating again. Not everyone wants to play team, some players do both like me. I like to see the progression im making with rating, its most of the reason why I play, to win, to progress in points and in skill. Som people say rating means nothing, I totally disagree. Players who have accumulated lots of games like myself, have a very accurate rating.

PilOt - Hide ratings completely already, it's the only way.

Where was that "popular demand"?

It's just a "fix" for a problem that was created by a "fix" that already solved nothing, but actually solves nothing.

Don't hide ratings, just make everything rated and update after every match. A 0 will get a more realistic rating after a few games and they won't get kicked. Problem solved. The reason 0's (now 1500s with 0 games) get kicked even more is because people don't know about the change.

There are many other ways...

Though my personal favorite is simply updating more often for low ranks.

The 1500 was supposed to prevent 0's from getting kicked. What I see now is that they get kicked even faster. "How did you smurf your way to 1500 with 0 games?" [kick]

ZeP, you are not accomplishing anything by giving 0 newbs 1500. All that's going on now is that people who see 1500 rating with 0 games get automatically kicked. Also, this severly unbalances game and confuses the shit out of everyone because we don't know who deserves their 1500.

The percentage in the lobby is way off in noob games now Because some players have such a "high" rating.

I think 1500 is a little high (something like 1000 would be more appropriate I think), but this does fix some e-peen problems.

Why did you ask two questions that don't have an amazing answer?

Really they both boil down to preference. Rating 'starting' at 1500 is an arbitrary choice. I think it's too high, but it's fixed within 5 matches so w/e.

The second one was no longer deemed appropriate. I don't know a lot about this change actually... but zep is tweaking ranking right now so that's likely the reason for that.

I'm sure people have better answers, but both questions are really just personal preference by the way of zep. :/

Several Questions

2014-03-12T00:24:39+02:00

1) Why did someone give all newbs 1500 rating?
2) Why doesn't the 1v1 ladder count towards GLOBAL (notice how I'm CAPITALIZING GLOBAL) rating anymore?
