I was at 1395 before the league change, have won 2 and lost 1, and it thinks shows 1379 for me. So not that accurate. On the other hand the Elobuff calculation seems to be fairly accurate in my case. | ||

That's unfortunate that they don't have a better estimate They had enough information to pretty much emulate true MMR. Use the guys with a ton (150+?) of games in preseason 3 as seeds with a marker for stable elo with maybe k=12 and calculate elo based on match histories. Then as you update k factors and elo, you can use the marked players as an extra check. If someone who's elo is supposed to be 1300 but played 10 games in a row with 1500 player who have marked elo as stable, then you know your system was too restrictive on the k factor compared to riot's MMR engine and can update the player in question followed by updating the emulator itself with the new information | ||

Eventually Riot's ELO and Lolking's score might fall completely out of sync and since matchmaker uses Riot's Elo I guess this is the best they could do. I think if they're basing your ELO on tiers and divisions then the score will be accurate enough. It'll be close over the long run as no one can stay in one division while their elo drops or rises by 200 points except for the challenger people. Still, it convolutes the whole system even more than before. Riot probably hired a person to develop a better matchmaking system and this was their solution. | ||

Difference is, meta changes in LoL are influenced by player base reacting to Riot's changes to LoL, as opposed to Dota, which is playerbase figuring shit out for themselves. | ||

I just read it. I dont recall Lol ever having a lategame meta. We had a couple of teams play lategame comps, and some teams exploited laneswapping before it was understood properly to get fed AD Carries, but nothing like average games being even 40+ mins. | ||

Season 1 pro games were essentially "farm for 30-40 mins then group and fight." fb being 20+ mins in was typical. | ||

Wasn't CLG.eu's playstyle something that could be compared to a lategame meta? They picked a team that wouldn't ever lose a late game 5v5 team fight if played correctly. They lost early, but just turtled and when it came to team fights, they still won. I don't think you can compare the game lengths directly between DotA and LoL, it's better to compare relative game lengths. CLG.eu could have games where they were in the lead the whole game, but it still took 40+ minutes to close it out, where the more aggresive teams would end the games in 20-25 minutes. While they are both mobas, DotA and LoL are still vastly different games, but I still see some similarity to the history of DotA and what we're seen in LoL the past years. On what wei2coolman wrote, I think that Riot should make fewer changes to the game, just to give the pro scene a chance to develop their own styles. A more static game, in term of game changes/patches, would be good for the e-sport side of LoL. But I guess Riot cares too much about their casual playerbase? | ||

I disagree about CLG.eu's playstyle being considered lategame meta. Though they always stalled to lategame, they didn't have good lategame strategy. Essentially, they're only lategame power was their teamfighting ability, no actual lategame powertiming/objective control. | ||

Does anyone really believe "the casual playerbase" will quit over a longer patch cycle? It seems like a really weak argument to me. Hell, you could make the argument that a longer patch cycle would even drive up RP sales as players might be more willing to invest in champs/skins for a popular champ without fear of that champ being nerfed. | ||

My understanding of DotA, and what lategame meta even mean in DotA is very limited.

People (casuals) whine so much on the forums about "OP champs", that would certainly increase if a really "OP" champion wasn't patched in several months. | ||

Those are lategame Strategies employed by A team/in an instance. What was described, at least as far as I could tell was a meta that would look like this in LOL: Nunu=Must ban status. Vayne and Kog Maw are highly contested. Midlane Consists on Anivia vs. Karthus vs. Cassio vs. Caitlyn/Corki. Toplane is a Jax/Irelia festival with characters like Kayle Sometimes making an appearance. Then you attempt to max out your items and ward everywhere before doing much at all. EHome simply controlled the map and maxed out three heroes before even attempting to go onto LGD's high ground. Its like S2 CLG EU playing itself, | ||
