@Amon-Sul Somebody should fix the scoring mechanism. I’m pretty sure there are common solutions to this, like how Chess has rankings and I play Starcraft which does a decent job.
Excluding losing games is silly. For some reason the League was biased this way under the old system as well in 2007 when I last played.
I do not say we should exclude lost games. But i do not say the current system is perfect too.
-
@Amon-Sul Right, I’m talking about the League scoring system excluding losing games, not you.
-
@Amon-Sul That is no doubt some very unlucky dice but it seems silly to complain and call out the other player. This is a dice game after all. Good dice will overcome bad strategy but this doesn’t seem like the way to go. Not to mention there could be a lot of reasons this was a good strategic move even with unfavorable odds initially.
One thing to note though is that simulators like this have a hard time showing how critical the early rounds are in these battles. Especially when one army is attacking with a lot of units rolling 1’s. Keep in mind that every unit killed by the attacker removes a defender at 2 while every kill on defense only removes an attacker at 1. Large battles like this have a much flatter bell curve so to speak than most realize.
What do I know though, I am on a terrible losing streak and it is all the dices fault.

@Amon-Sul sorry just noticed i replied to the wrong person. Blah that is what i get for sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong.

I don’t want to be a bother but I think my second win over Sovietishcat has not been counted. I suppose that if I wanted to cling to my Master ranking for as long as possible I should have kept my mouth shut. :grin:
You’re absolutely right - I was AWOL here for almost a month - updating everyone now! I do note the last update date at the top of the spreadsheet, for your future reference :)
And yes, your M status went down in flames ;) -
AD, I can ease the suffering a bit by giving you 2 points for ABH instead of 0, since he was tier 1 a few years ago. In case he doesn’t finish 3 games this year…

Hey, koala is atleast tier 1, likely E, but maybe won’t finish 3 games this season either. Just sayin’…
-
Hey, I clearly finished 3 games. Just sayin. :P

??? No one is excluding losing games lol
I just forgot about you guys for a few weeks. Look at the top of the spreadsheet - it always says when it was last updated, thanks -

See, AD, I risked opening this can of worms by making an exception for you. Hope you’re feeling the love

We can switch to an Elo-system and everyone will be happy. :)

This is a good post, well said Aldo

Squeaky wheel gets the grease, Trulpen, unless it’s you

Don’t ELO systems always add to your rating if you win, no matter how weak the opponent? Encourages bottom feeders who get inflated ratings, no thanks.
-
I think I misinterpreted this. Apologies!
“However, against a single opponent, only best of 3 games will count (maximum of 2 wins for 1 player). This limit can be expanded when both you and your opponent have completed more league games:”
-
No problem, thanks akreider, I think I see what you’re saying. I thought I just confused you by not updating anything for a few weeks.
Sorry everybody, I’ll put it on my calendar, and maybe make it a habit to update every Sunday night or something (at a minimum)
-
@gamerman01 A proper system should add to your ranking based on the probability of winning or losing. So if you play a very weak player and have a 1/1000 chance of losing, your ELO gain if you win should reflect that.
-
@akreider2 And thus an ELO gain by a favored player in a match where they are expected to crush their opponent should be very small.
-
Yeah, that’s not how it works here. Unlike chess, we have a very small number of games played because this game takes a lot longer than chess. Not really comparable. This system really works well for our purposes, and if I get much more criticism, someone else is going to have to take over because I’m not even playing the game any more.
