welcome to qlranks ca tracking

cause his teammates got
ItdogI -2659 ELO
Bourne182 -49 ELO

all opponents had positive ELO

yes it's broken

lol

Clown Arena shouldn't be ranked. They should drop it and start tracking Free For All instead. No team, more objectives, some skills required...

Nope. They should drop it and start tracking CTF, a real competitive gametype.

u cant rank ctf since its not about frags

QL saves other stats too.

The TDM ranking is based on simple map wins and map losses and doesn't take frags into account either, right?
Why shouldn't that work for CTF, too?

how would u rank a supportive player? he doesnt have many defs and no caps

but hes still getting the win, same as in tdm

so as long as he is in the winning team he is a good ctf player? hf gl wp gg

take 2 evenly matched teams, remove one player from either of the teams and replace that one with a player whos lesser skilled than the others. if they started out as 50/50, they should be on worse odds now, right?

pls tell me i dont have to explain myself further

its just a way too inaccurate cause u barely can rank the quality of ones ctf play by stats. those stats dont tell a shit about individual decisions or item control. if you play tdm in ctf you would most likely be a high rank ctf player eventhough you are shit

win/loss creates a system relying on the average. im not trying to sell it as a perfect system, but its reliable enough to have somewhat balance games.

if you go at it focusing on balanced games alright i was thinking of the indivdual ranking where it ofc fails to divide aimwhores from good ctf players

aim is such an important part of quake??? :D

sigh im out of this see you in the next thread

u dump?

He dump(((((((((

I made the account to play with friends, the fact I'm #1 while playing drunk is LOL!. It isn't my fault qlrankings is broken. Though I do find it amusing as fuck

never play ca again with that account just to make a point about how broken that shit is :D

its very unlikely that a normal ca player will surpass that elo unless several ppl work together.

Yeah I'm not going to play that account again on CA just to sit at the top while people /rage all over their keyboard.

his country is unset. hahaha i know who u are fazed. lets just say this dude runs dozens of ca clans.

do you consider not setting your country cheating?

We all know that every single player from the USA is a cheater so fazed_ is one. He obviously set his country as "unset" to appear legit, which makes it even worse. amidoingitright?

You forgot the "true story" , "real talk" stuff :-P

Also grammar and spelling were too good :)

What Raist said, don't ever touch the computer again ;D!

drunken master

It's been talked about n+1 times, but there hasn't been a competent answer.
Why doesn't the QLRanks teams just delete the whole CA ranks section and shut it down?

Just like, why is estonia not a part of russia yet?

Exactly, I wonder that myself.
The main reason is that the empire fell apart due to poor management decisions and don't get me started about the empiery thing after that.
Just like an otherwise valuable and respectable service like QLRanks is making a joke out of itself by supporting CA rankings, which make no sense what so ever.

The system is will automaticly find his right elo range after a few more matches, he just dindt play enough.
In fact the more matches you have the more likely your elo is fitting for the player.

Not the first guy to to be first after two matches either, but like the rest he will be removed.

yes but it isnt that hard to fix either. like that quake.cz stats page for tdm/ctf pickups. it doesnt count players in ranking until they have played 10 matches. stuff like that.

In fact the more matches you have the more likely your elo is fitting for the player.

I'd like to disagree here.

The whole ca elo system is broken and doesn't reflect anything at all: you can see it by yourself, comparing the w/l ratio of different players; some 65-70%players in the top 100, some 75-85% ones (with more games tracked) in the top 1000.
There are some exceptions, like v1um or ulbe, but that's it.

I won't even mention quitting to save elo, tier slumming, or just losing hundreds of points by winning games. Yes you read correctly, you lose points by winning several games in a row.

Even if I applaud the idea behind qlranks DUEL (which works nicely and that's what it really matters), I don't want to be associated with a faulty system popping numbers out of its imaginary ass; although the data/stats might be public, this doesn't mean the admins can refuse my (several) requests to be removed from the CA section.

Mind you, I've asked to be removed for the first time back in the first months it was introduced (I still have the irc logs) when I was ashamed to be displayed as #1-2 in the world in front of much better players who deserved that spot more than me.

I still am convinced that, even if my requests have always been denied, i'm legally right when I ask to be removed from a site that has nothing to do with Quake Live that simply leeches its data (which I don't remember if you have to sign up in order to be accessible or is just plainly public), and rearranges it using a retarded logarithm.

Even if it was legal (which I sincerely doubt), refusing to delete a player is so unprofessional.

no only suspect. means hes trying very hard to remain as anonymous as he can be. but hes an alt...which i do consider cheating.

yer you, no one else tho

one reason quake is unpopular and played by only a couple hundred regulars in all of the USA. ITS FAKE.
