Looking at the algorithm and wanting to understand it, I have some questions that a dummy like me would be very appreciative if answered.

I. What do these terms mean:

1. falloff
2. RosterSize Distance
3. Rank Distance
4. Rating Distance
5. roster
6. team
7. roster.countProfessions(profession)
8. team.countProfessions

II. I don’t understand the following code. Explain, plox:

def pickRoster(team, maxLadder, maxRosterSize, potentials, config): #idk what this is
best = None
playersNeeded = config.teamSize – team.players
for roster in potentials:
if roster.players > playersNeeded: #please explain this
continue
roster.score = scoreRoster(roster, team, maxLadder, maxRosterSize, config.scoring)
if best is None or best.score < roster.score:
best = roster
return best

III. How is team and roster rating and rank calculated?

ty in advanced, to anyone who tries to tackle this for me.

How many games do you have to play in ranked in order to get a good matchup with your skill set and the perceived mmr that the game gives you? I’ve only played 5 games in ranked and I’m getting horrible matchups so much so that my teammates despise me.

Yes, it takes a lot of money to have an OP Google search engine embedded into your site. So the above post is a practical work around.

Diving goggles level gated?

I remember the first time I saw Diving Goggles, conveniently placed on the precipice of a ledge above some water.

After the initial shock wore off, I stood staring down at them, my mind racing to comprehend their meaning, Literally a couple of possibilities swirled around my tiny brain but it was too much. Exhausted, I logged off.

I went for a walk just to clear my mind. The image of those goggles haunted me as I walked along the path, teasing me with their impenetrable puzzle. I saw the moon and the stars, and it dawned on me. Just like the endless mysteries of the universe, I was not meant to understand. In another life, in another time – maybe.

I had looked upon those goggles on that ledge like a mouse looks upon Michaelangelo’s David. They were simply too huge to comprehend, to hold their full meaning in my head would be like holding the sea in a teacup.

Sometimes I still dream about them, and the ledge. In the dream, the water below rushes up to meet me, an epiphany promised within its depths – but then I wake up, and the dream, like the answers, fade away.

moar, plox
