Disclosure.
I just describe some events and by no means I complain. I play ladder for the fun of it, for the action in it, because it used to be fast to get games(barring the latest patch), and because it's the main way of increasing my skill. I couldn't care less for points.

Ladder has been erratic at times following no identifiable pattern at all. I have been losing more points by players hundreds of points above me and I have been gaining more points by 0 or 200 guys. Sometimes I didn't get any points by winning guys 300 or more points above me, on a row, still losing generous amounts of points when I lost by any player at all. Sometimes I was not losing points by losing matches on a row.(n.b. I have played so many ladder games-in the thousands- that it is not possible the game was correcting for not knowing my skill, so it had to be some bug there.)

Lately ladder seems a bit more balanced in this regard(ie it seems to be in effect some common sense to the points you lose or win); problem is, it doesn't work properly still, so the number of games you get to play are too few.

If I encounter again this odd behavior , I will make sure I keep the id of the games so devs can see that I speak the truth.

Please bring back a decently functioning ladder and replays. Thanks again guys for all your efforts.

Already known... I wouldn't worry about it too much they will deal with it appropriately.

I assume you were referring to the "478 player", fair enough

However, I played a 2 more ladder games (against the same 0 rated player, I guess it didn't register his defeat yet ), and now my score went up when I won, but my win ratio is going down. was 57%/58% now 55%, and I haven't lost any games, Ive won all of them. The ladder system is definitely bugged.

Re: Ranked Points

2016-02-13T17:12:58+02:00

I won a custom game against a 1400 player and gained like 30 points (I'm 1200). When I played ladder against a player who was 954 or something I won also, but lost 3 points (my ladder rating is 1179 was 1182). For some reason, a few days ago ladder put me up against a 478 rated player who I beat and I gained 5 points(was 1177)... ( vs the 954 and 478 were the 2 most recent games)

now if I lost 2-3 points for beating a player who was lower rated than me but gained 30 for beating someone who was higher than me I can see how it would give me a reasonably accurate score after a lot of games, even though I think it is really stupid that someone would lose points for winning. But then why did I gain 5 points for beating a 478?

Also the game has no idea how hard it was for me to beat the players that I was put up against, so how can it decide whether or not I deserve to get rating or not.

In the past week due to issues with the server/client change, ratings have been static for a while. Seems to be fixed in the meantime.

It does not look fixed and it is an issue on my side?

I am not sure if it is a bug, and that is why I have posted this, to find out if anybody is having the same issues (and if there is possibly a fix to it)...

Hello,

I think it has to do with the deviation decreasing? i wondered that myself too after winning some games and losing a bit of points a while ago.

But I think that it is odd to lose points when you win games though? It has never happened to me before until recently?

That is probably some 20-30 points dropped out of nowhere in a day even when I won several games...

here is the wiki page on the system:

Though i wouldn't be sure as im not one of the developers, someone else will know this better than me.

Ranked Points

2016-02-11T15:49:02+02:00

Hello All.

For those who are playing ranked,

Are there any issues whereby points are not counted, whether be it you win or lose?
I am not sure if it is a bug, but I have been winning some games, and points somehow remained the same instead of increasing.
In worst cases, the points were deducted by huge amounts (like 11 points or more) even when I won?

How is this possible?
Would there be a fix to this?

Thanks.
