If this is the wrong place to complain about QLRANKS, please direct me to the correct place.
First, I got interested in QLRANKS after finding the in-game ELO announcer script.
It's great that we have QLRANKS, as the QuakeLive website only ranks people by 1-4 tiers.
But... If you're going to do it, why not do it right?
I only play FFA, so these complaints only pertain to the FAA ELO implementation
1.) Recent games
When I look at my profile on QuakeLive.com I immediately recognize my game history as being 100% correct, the webpage instills confidence as a stoic record keeper.
When I look at my profile on QLRANKS, I do not recognize my history as being complete. I see a few games that I probably played, but not all of them . And there is no drill down functionality that allows me to see who else played and how we finished to distinguish different games played on the same map.
So I am left suspecting that QLRANKS is not counting all games.
2.) Lack of explanation of anything (Ladder,Rank etc)
Wikipedia explains ELO when applied to Chess.
Nothing on QLRANKS explains how ELO is calculated in QL FAA.
Why Not? How hard would it be to answer the one question everyone who is actually interested in the website will ask day 1?
This further undermines trust in the rankings displayed.
So far I can not even deduce the scoring system.
There are games which I have been able to identify in my QLRANKS profile: (only game on that map, that day)
- I have seen a + ELO for FFA games I have lost, badly
- I have seen a - ELO for FFA games I won.
- I have seem a - ELO for FFA games I won, where some opponents had a higher ELO than me.
So if you know who to direct my irritation at, please let me know.
I would like to see a working/transparent implementation of ranking QL FAA players.
