It’s as simple as why the pseudo code tallies score points in 100 increments instead of 5 increments, considering almost every factor is in “5” and not “100”.
105, 110, 115 all the way to 495
instead of 100, 200, 300, 400, 500
If you have 1000 players each with an end team score of 400 points… they all shouldn’t get the same +3 rank point score. Should it not be in increments of 5 so they each have a more defining rank point score?

League System Inquiries

Winning a match guarantees you a pip, and in some cases you won’t need to win

I don’t mind it being a grind fest between Division One and Division 4. Go ahead and implement this for players who can play 24/7. No issues with this at all, assuming this will stop abruptly pass Division 5.

The player base past Division 5 will virtually have the same win rate. If everyone has virtually the same chance of winning, then climbing the tier will be based on the rng Gods rather then the actual player.

If you constantly lost a match with an end score of 480 points, you should have a higher ranking score than players who consistently lose at 420 points.

If a player A wins more games than player B but Player A consistently loses with an end score of 250 over Player B who consistently loses with 350 points, Player B should be ranked higher than player A.

I would think this is how player’s points should be calculated – Winning shouldn’t matter as much as consistently finishing a game with a high point count. This is due in fact that a single player cannot carry a team. However, through statistics (numerous games played) it can show that if he’s on a team, he’s likely to increase that team’s points considerably vs another player.

I think the MMR algorithm needs to be reevaluated.

I don’ t really think it needs to be that specific. I don’t see it making much difference. Maybe a 50 point spread at best.

I don’t know how the system works but the way I think it should work is, if your team is favored you start at -1 point, +1 if not favored. If you win you get +1. Loss is -1. Win by 200 is another point. Win by 300 is another, 400 another. And negative those points for the opposing team. So you can move up or down by up to 5 each game.

I supposed you could do half points and such for 50 points but I don’t really see it making much difference in the long run. To take it down to 5 point spreads seems really unnecessary.
