Elim Season 6 Begins! [ Jan 12, 2016 ]
Elim rankings have been reset, ushering in Season 6.
There's been a big change to the way the ladder is calculated. "Confidence" has been incorporated into the rating system, which means that the more games you play, the more confident the bot becomes of your rating. Players now have a Base Rating (roughly equivalent to the old rating, with some minor tweaks, including incorporating number of games won vs games lost), and a Ladder Rating. Ladder Rating is just Base Rating multiplied by Confidence. You'll need to play a full 400 games before Confidence reaches 100%.
This means that being a top ladder contender will require you to play a large number of games and do consistently well, better reflecting actual skill, rather than a lucky (and short) run. As in prior seasons, after you have a combined 300 kills/deaths, you will be laddered. Now, however, the bot will PM you after every round to notify you of your ladder rating change, as well as base rating change, total games played and ratio.
We hope this will provide a long-overdue balancing to Elim's ladder, and with a bit of luck, reignite some of the past competition. In the future, look for a new elim map with practice areas that you can play in while waiting for the next match, as well as a possible late entry into running elims.
NOTE: there are bound to be bugs. Please ?message qan if you notice any problems.
