Hi. I'm no expert but in my opinion there is something wrong with the MMR scoring point algorithm. I think so because recently for every lost match I get about minus 40-60 mmr points, and for every won match I get only +20 mmr point. In this situation, I need to have almost 75% won matches (!!!) only to keep my current position in the ranking. With such high win / loss ratio it is very hard to keep current position in the ranking and almost impossible to move up.
Such system promotes players who plays as little matches as possible and punishes players who plays a lots of matches.
But this is only my opinion.

I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that you always get 20 pts for winning and more points for losing. A quick glance at your recent matches shows this to not be accurate at all. A recent loss of yours was only 10 pts and you've had wins worth 50.

You can lose more points only in matches in which your team has MMR advantage, and you are defeated. In equal MMR matches you lose an average number of points (around 20 for a player who plays a lot). And you lose fewer points in case of defeat by a stronger team. For instance (as badbeatpete pointed out) in a match from 2021-01-01 18:17 you have lost against a much stronger team and the system only subtracted 10 points from your score.

The chart below explains point updates for the standard Elo rating system used in Chess. For BghMMR the graphs looks slightly different, but the idea is the same.

That being said I'm not claiming that this system is perfect. People criticize Elo system for this steep gain/loss curve and although the curve used in bghmmr is less steep, I might change the system to make it more flat in the future. However, (because of a bug that I've made) we had a perfectly flat gain/loss curve for some time, and it clearly didn't work as well as the system that is in use now.

Dear D3AD-R3TARD,

Three questions:

1) Would you consider running the bots on the West server?

Here's my thinking
— There are more active BGH players on the West server
— There average skill level seems to be slightly higher on West
— At the same time, there are players of all skill levels on West

2) Would it be possible to implement some kind of MMR exclusion algorithm that would kick a player whose MMR is too far from the average MMR of the game?
— For example, when everyone is over 2000MMR except one player is 600MMR.
— Or create a "B+" or "A+" bot?

3) What would it take to get another bot running and how can the community support your initiative?


Thank you in advance, and kudos for for your brilliance!

The game played on 2021-01-16 22:21 needs a correction. Bot disconnected in a middle of a game and somehow concluded results from that point?

Usually I wouldn't really care, but I spent over an hour on that game and I want my points dammit!

can you make it so the bot doesn't kick the 4th and 8th slot or make it move to OB faster?

Bot has to close two slots for the game to be 3x3. If you happen to be in 4th slot just swap teams by clicking Away Team button twice.
As for speed of operation, bots 1-3 share the same GPU and sometimes one bot has to wait for the other to get access to its virtual desktop.

BTW. There are 4 bots running now. I might add 5th if there is need.

would be great if one of them would be running D+ all the time (C+ would be even better btw), instead of the "4 ranked" bot maybe, which doesn't really change anything regarding skill level imo
