Re: I disagree completely

In Response To: Re: I disagree completely (Louis Wu)


: I have over 350 games in the Squad Slayer playlist; that should be enough to
: figure out my TrueSkill, right?

: And I usually go in solo, so the system isn't bogged down trying to average
: out a team's disparate skill levels when matching me - it's just me.

: It's more players than TS, yes - but way less than BTB.

: Here are a string of games from yesterday:

: These games were 75-50 (we lost), 75-46 (we won), 75-69 (we won - best game
: of the series), 75-30 (we won), 75-39 (we won), 75-54 (we lost).

: I think that Trueskill doesn't work very well, and this has become MORE
: obvious since the TU.

Isn't it possible that TS DOES work but the TU messed with the average for most players? As in, the rules have been redefined and now it has to adjust?

I don't think that TS in Vanilla Reach = TS in TU reach (or anniversary reach)

A player who was bad/good and vanilla may not necessarily be the same in that playlist after the TU was applied (they could go either way, better or worse...maybe even stay the same) so the TS probably wasn't reset when the TU was applied for that playlist (its starting to sound like maybe it should have).

A+B=C
If A= player and B= Vanilla and C= TS, wouldn't the value of C change if B was changed from Vanilla to TU?

That's how I'm looking at it.

Does that make sense? It's hard to put into words.... I'm trying. Fuck, I'm probably wrong anyway...
