Elo Rating

Seems to be new, possibly for the weekly Tuesday patch?

Looks like it defaults to 1,000, but shows as 0 on the graph currently.

Any ideas on what this means, or what it could be used for?

Bump

I noticed it on Ched’s API last week

ELO is a rating system - see wiki here

Not sure what this is about, but totally on topic:

YouTube video s7dTBoW5H9k

It looks like you gain some ELO from winning attacks (doesn't matter if you leave/mug/hosp) and lose some if you lose a defend. I'd imagine it will scale based on how "even" the ELOs were to start. (ie. you'll get more ELO if you attack someone with the same ELO as you, and much less if you attack someone with like 1/5th of your ELO)

That said... I'm not sure why this is a player stat vs. a faction stat. Especially since inactive players have an ELO rating. Load image: laughing

If you wanted to farm a lot of ELO, you'd play similar to how you play during the Dog Tags event; you'd simply turn your revives off, make a ton of attacks, and then fly/hosp yourself to prevent bleeding.

So we have a way to actually quantify how good people are at the game... lol

Brb, gonna add Torn to this bit of the wiki page:

"but is also used as a rating system in association football, American football, basketball,^[1] Major League Baseball, table tennis, board games such as Scrabble and Diplomacy, and esports, particularly Counter Strike: Global Offensive.^[2]"

you also gain 5 elo for winning a defend, not sure if losses just got more expensive or not!

"Oh no, my queen"

Shhh don’t tell the noobs

If its like chess then beating inactives won't matter once the inactives have lost a few times and you've won a few times. will all balance out quickly

Oh geez...

he told them in the other thread anyway

why does this have to come out just after we finish chaining :(

Ched wants CJ in NS so he can get all the staff there

but we have IBF so we win all staff wars

"Well, anyways.."

but this is what usually happen :( and you are a piece down

Maybe we get elo based on all our personal statistics and this is how they will balance Elimination in future

Edit: Seems to just be based on attacks won/ defends lost etc, which idk how that could be a true indicator of "elo". Guess it means next elim all the muggers will be split up :P
