@nex said in How exactly do we expect low rated players to play the game?:
No idea what they currently use for team slayer or what trueskill 2 is
Trueskill 2 is a proposed system that includes more metrics (like kills) than just win/loss/draw in its statistics considered.
(unlike trueskill)
which paper you read might be very important here, since trueskill (1) has been released, and assigns skill based ONLY on whether a game was won, lost, or drawn (no KDA or ingame score or frags or anything).
Trueskill 2, I believe, still has its maths 'hidden' (and all the overhyping that such a move enables!) This might have changed since I last read about it a few years back, though.
As I understand it, trueskill 2 is geared towards FPS games with scores, which is why I thought it might be what was being referenced here regarding 'teamslayer modes' and the like. At the very least, it's confirmed to take other factors besides a binary victory/defeat into account.
