IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2 Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads. | ||

There was not 300k but definitely not 600 either, i think there was like 40 or 50k? well, they also proposed to switch everything to visible MMR and implementing a HoN-like ladder :-/ Im pretty sure Valve already wipe that option out of the table. | ||

What a complete mess of a forum. I'm losing braincells just looking at that thread. They make it look like TL is made up of mensa candidates compared. | ||

It's not exactly a discussion forum. It does a good job getting feedback on bugs, server issues and even a general opinion the public may have on a particular change. | ||

I'm not sure I would want feedback from people who sincerely believes that statistics a developer comes out with is wrong because his personal experience doesn't match, and then warp the quotes from the statistics to make it look like the developer is a retard by placing it out of context. | ||

People get frustrated when they lose and adding total anonymity of the internet has always lead to outrageous claims and pure vitriolic behavior. | ||

TL has spoiled me. Now nothing is good enough anymore  Even though there are bad apples here as well, at least I can get some kind of discussion going, instead of the usual "I can typing!" answers that other forums provide. | ||

Not the MMR algorithm though, just mm. Were you playing solo queue btw? No, but the two people I queued with had a low number of wins. One had 20 wins, and the other 30 wins. The two teammates on my team both had over 500 wins, and the other team all had around over 300 wins except for one player with 80 wins. Idk, maybe this game was just an outlier and not indicative of any actual mm algorithm changes. | ||

Idk, maybe this game was just an outlier and not indicative of any actual mm algorithm changes. As far as I know, the only thing eric tams said is that they value matches played "somewhat" in terms of a confidence factor. e.g. if someone played 1000 games, they know their true mmr is really close to their displayed mmr. But that wouldn't be (as) true for someone with only 50-100 games. This might have the side-effect of matching high win players together because if you have 10 people, all of whom played 500 games and they're all around X MMR, it will be a really good match. But, afaik, Eric tams never said anything like using #-of-wins to match players. It wouldn't make sense. Games-played and skill have very little to do with each other. | ||

Well if you're not playing solo MM those 20 wins people might as well been friends of the other teammates. | ||

Of course he never said that, and no one here is saying that. My original post just said that Eric Tams mentioned number of games was a minor factor in MM. "minor". Not the sole factor. "EricTams advised that changes have been made to the matchmaking algorithms to utilize the number of games played amongst other things." From DevDota April 11th. Now how this factor works, idk. It's probably a confidence factor like you mentioned. | ||
