try something else (new alg)
It’s worth noting that TrueSkill tries to do the same thing that Gliko does in terms of the uncertainty factor in MMR changes. So, uh, while it’s not wrong, it’s also not exactly a revolutionary suggestion in a game that already does that.
Technically TrueSkill is patented so Gliko isn’t exactly the same, but the mathematical underpinnings are similar; just the methods to reach the conclusion differ slightly.
Both do better than ELO for matchmaking.
According to the page, it can take from 46-138 matches to accurately determine skill level from 2 team/8 player matches. GW2 does it in 10 :p
GW2 does it in 10 too bad its far far faaar away from the actual skill rating of an individual.

No, GW2 takes the first 10 to give you an initial rating, it continues to refine that rating in all subsequent matches.

I think Moonsinn was being facetious.

Hence the “:p”

Trueskill accounts for multi-player teams. Glicko assumes 1v1. Until glicko is redesigned to actually account for teams of players at different skill levels it’s going to be inferior to Trueskill.
I’m also pretty sure glicko isn’t Bayesian.
