one thing voobly has over DE is a somewhat accurate rating system. now you want to get rid of the accuracy? good idea. i bet noobs will love to get smahed by good players and lose 16 points. everyone will have so much fun.

If the problem with the ratings is on the higher level around 2000, then change the system for that level. Force them to play more, increase the decay. Everyone below (and stays below) 1700 is a casual player and won't care about what politics goes on with the higher rate players so needn't be involved with it.

So, lower the decay floor to 1950. Simple tweak, no great impact. If that isn't enough, make it 1900, but don't go far below that.


The true problem with a reset is not that you lose the ratings, its that you lose the game numbers. I made the same mistake in the past. It isn't a good idea unless you can possibly preserve the ladder stats while taking the rating to 1600.

Before it is said, looking at profile is not a realistic solution, especially now.

Fair enough. Thank you all for the feedback on the idea.

Regards.

1800 rate would be good for decay floor.

+1

1900 should be the limit in a "perfect" ELO system, it's supposed to mark the difference between good and bad players, and only those that are good enough will climb to 2000 and even more.

unlikely in Voobly though, that limit seems to be in 2000 and the same ELO calculator is used from 1900 to 2000...

if the way you get points changes once you reach 1900 and it forces you to have ~70% or even more to get 2000, it'd be much harder to get it and somehow being 2k would mean "something" since it's a "bad" level compared to >2100 in RM and CS


tldr: change the way points work from 1900 to 2000 for make an ELO hell that doesn't give 2000 to anyone easily, making the being-2000 worth it

it's simple as setting a number of points that you will get per match until you reach 2k, like 9 per match or something really low even if you're playing with people of your same rating it would be great imo

Please add the countries of England, Wales and Scotland back to the list. They were removed last week and the reason for doing so seems quite silly.

Ireland prevails.
