for all those that that think is base on mmr? ok here is the question. WHat is points for?..just for show?. and dont say u can just 6 pool and cheese your way just to get points to master league.


Yes points are just for show. They are designed to make each and every person feel like they are a special player.


No, points correlate strongly with your MMR



Not necessarily...

A toy example (this uses bonus pool for simplicity, but you can do it other ways):

Play 1 game, win, +12 point +12 bonus = + 24
Play 2 games, lose both, -10 points -11 point = -21

Points go up, MMR goes down - anti-correlation.

There have been many posts elsewhere on TL about how poorly points reflect MMR. This is why you can have a Bronze player with a massive number of points, but without breaking the MMR threshold for promotion.

edit: lol, very similar post right above me saying the same thing while I typed this up ^^;;

But the bonus pool is for everyone so it doesn't give you any advantage over other players, so you aren't anymore ahead in rank by winning 1 and losing 2 than the next guy unless he doesnt actually play. And usually if you're within Top 8 of your (division which is determined by points) you are pretty close to promotion, so I wouldn't say its too far off.

I thought I was getting good when I was getting matched up with so many GMs

So is there still going to be a reset or something?
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

When are they going to fix the ladder & GM... Still messed up big time.
Win/loss and points not registering correctly for high masters, and still people with 0-1 in GM

You need less than 90 bp to be able to get promoted to GM. Then you get booted out of GM if you accumulate 2 weeks worth of Bonus pts... 180 i believe? not sure on the number

Not sure exactly what you're referring to but the rules regarding GM league are supposed to be <=90 bonus pool to get in and <=180 bonus pool to stay in.

Also it's not even business hours on Monday yet so the devs probably are back from vacation either today or tomorrow.

even then what can they do now? on tuesday most of the 1-0 or 0-1's are going to be kicked by the system, assuming that works.

Points correlate strongly with MMR when you exclude bonus points (as you can among players who have used all of their bonus points.)

In your example, points go down by 10 if you exclude bonus points.

Also, your example ignores the fact that the points you gain or lose are more or less depending on the relationship between your point score and your opponent's MMR. This is the factor that ensures a strong correlation between adjusted points (meaning not including bonus) and MMR.

Yea they are at 182 and still in league, i also started NEVER gettin points when i win, only get all the points fixed once i lose. Im guessing its because i hit GM mmr, as im always facing very very high mmr players.

I think they probably do, but for whatever reason haven't managed to fix it yet. Everyone can see the GM ladder pretty easily, so it's sort of embarassing for them. Is this problem on the KR server as well?
