Setons independent rating

Postby UK_Open » 08 Dec 2012, 04:01

What I am proposing
A independent rating for setons based exactly like that one we have. Maybe the setons rating could be a different colour? That would only show when setons 4v4 is selected in lobby.

Why ??
I think the rating system we have is perfect and accurate but not when you take setons into account. Example Cynthia has 2k rating now that's not and accurate rating for 1v1 or an other map but for setons its correct. In many cases it works the other way and people are a good rating but can't perform there allocated position vs the person they have been put against.

Benefits

Stop smurf
Allows new setons players to play more games as we can balance and have an accurate indication of their skill
Stops 30mins talks in lobby about balance
Would then make the balance rating in lobby accurate


People may say why not do this for every map well the reason why is setons is the most competitive map and popular thermo has less competitive edge mainly no air and navy restricts to many elements in the game thus not needing a independent rating as its not as skilled with makes balancing alot easyier. Now I done this on my iPhone I do apologise If I have made mistakes also I will edit if needed when I am at home.

Point is I feel setons needs an independent rating also games count no other map like it that requires that amount of team work with all elements of the game being important. If u this there is a other map that'sore competitive please say.

Thanks

There is already a 1v1 rating that is separate. I don't think we need 3 ratings per player.

It's a leader board ranking not a given number in pre game that's a rating that's what you do balance on. And in 1v1 its gets a match from your overal rating lol so your post it wrong.

Actually it would make sense. Very few players can play all spots, and even when they did, very very few can play them all good.

if you see somebody for the first time, just substract like ... uhm .. about 300 or so from the rating.
not having a thought out set of build orders makes all the difference.
