rankings

Post by grainbelt »

Either have another ranking next to the one that is already there or change it.
Game won percentage is way better to see, than the points system, the points system is useless IMHO
It would be nice to see a raning for game won %

Depending on what people play most, they'll have very different win percentages. This won't work.

Let's assume player A plays mostly 8 player standard games.
Based on luck alone that player would expect to win 1 game in 8 - 12.5%.
Let's assume player A is actually pretty good and so wins 1 game in 3 - 33%.

Let's assume player B plays mostly 2 player standard games.
Based on luck alone that player would expect to win 1 game in 2 - 50%.
Let's asssume player B is pretty average and wins just 1 game in 2 - 50%.

Now player B has the higher percentage - does this mean he's the better player?
No. Plain win percentage is no indicator of ability.

However, if it were tweaked as described in show ratio of opponents beaten to games lost in profile ... ?
