Um, Rosbone's statement is correct. It's an extreme example of Bayes theorem. You're talking about regression towards the mean which is a concept and not an actual theorem.

Oh snap

what matters is winning the games where you gain the most ELO because not all wins are equal at the end of the day and that's something no one here is really talking about.

I agree 100%. I did not want to muddy the waters further since people are having trouble handling the statistic so far.

What happens when you get rekt 5 games in a row by the same "unranked" top 10 premade team? You should lose NO ELO at all since they are really top 10 players. But the monkeys at Retardic have no concept of this so you may lose a ton of ELO. Does anyone know? Do we have proof and data to support it?

There are a number of things that make this whole process not a 50/50 system. We do not have the Relic server code. There could be a number of things programmed into it that harm certain players. We have no idea.

Lets look at this another way: How many game should a person lose before they get a win?

Should the server at a minimum try to give a person a better chance after forcing them to lose 5 games in a row? 10 games in a row?

How about maybe remove them from a certain map if they just lost on the same map 3 times in a row?

That’s…..exactly what it means……

If the MM has given you 10 bad games in a row you still have a 50% chance it will give you another bad game. It does not mean it will automatically even out and you will now win 10 games.

You could never win a game again theoretically. Unlikely, but completely possible. Your next game is still a 50% chance of losing.

Here is a guy who is currently rank 20 with a 7 win streak??? With that crappy win ratio??? Did he just start using map hacks or is it the dog squeeze relic Match Making?

I’m not saying you don’t get bad matchmaking where you have very few chances of winning to no chance, I’m saying over a time period of 100+ games that evens out because you have as much of a chance to benefit from matchmaking as you do to suffer from it.

This is what everybody has said since the start of this topic.

And as I said 50/50 chance does not mean it will even out. There will be some people with a lot of good luck and some with a lot of bad luck.

Because of the garbage MM, the bad luck people will delete the game and we have lost players. Which just makes the MM even worse. So we are kind of in a Relic MM Hell.

Another big problem with ELO hell is you only get 1 out of 3-5 games where you can actually play it out and win. So you have to go full sweat mode on those games. No fun strats. No mistakes. Or you lose. So now when you make a mistake you get severely punished, frustrated, and delete the game.

Where the "lucky" player gets to play 3-5 games any way they want since they will most likely win anyway.

The Relic MM is a real problem. And it is a HUGE problem. And it has eaten away player base since the games inception.

That is why I am on here everyday lobbying for you guys. It needs fixed ASAP. I dont care about my ranks. I just want it to be fun for players. And smashing the shit out of Level 2-6 players is not fun for anyone involved.

Someone at Relic should already be writing the code for COH3 servers. If not, start. And implement it soon.
