@thomashiatt Of course you did okay in them. You are >2k in both ladder and global. There is not a single map in faf that you'll do poorly on.
As mentioned above, you fall far outside of the demographic of players I worry about here.
@FtXCommando I seemingly phrased my arguments wrong.
My concerns are not about people getting an 'unfairly high rating', or whatever.
I couldn't care less about people's imaginary internet numbers, but even if you do, you are right in that players will get a roughly accurate rating over time. The math guarantees it.
Essentially I'm worried about players with a huge fluctuation in skill because it makes games bad to play. An exaggerated toy example:
Lets say you have someone that plays like a 1k player on all maps. The only exception being setons, on which they magically get replaced by tagada.
What's going to happen with this player? Well, they'll settle at a ranking of 1.2k or something, depending on the size of the map pool, by loosing slightly more on all non-setons map but in exchange winning every setons. The rating algorithm works.
So what's the problem then? Well, every match-made setons with them in the team is essentially over before it began. There is nothing a team of 1ks can do against a tagada, even if they know what they are up against.
Games wont be fun for either of the both sides. Smurf allegations will get thrown around, people will go to bed angry, children will cry, marriages will end, villages will burn to the ground, entire countries will fall.
Do you want this ftx? I sure don't
(Btw. I think there are good arguments for including setons in the pool eventually, just not yet.)
