I know. You can't seem to explain what it would do, you just "believe" it would be an obvious improvement. EJC said that blowouts were obviously what was meant by crap matches none of you objected to his definition. Not one person has explained what a crap match is except for EJC. Even though his assertions are 100% incorrect, at least he offered that much.
Stop using the straw man allegation. You clearly don't know what it means.
It is precisely the point! Everyone, except for you, is claiming that SBMM will make the game play better. Short matches and blowouts are frequently recurring complaints that are attributed to a dislike of a random mm and those exact attributes are what are claimed to be alleviated by skill balancing, except by you.
No. We all don't know what you mean by this. I spent the past few days reviewing my last 500 matches and installed XVM for reference. None of them fit your 6 tanks/4k hp within two minutes. I had a total of two matches that ended under 4 minutes. Using WN8 as the prediction(slightly better than win rate alone), we lost a 61% CTW to being capped at 11:34 and won a 54% CTW by 15-3 at 11:12.
A match is over when it is over and the rest of what you stated is garbage.
I never implied the MM picked any or all winners and losers. That is the domain of you, Stiffy, Shadora, eteam, et al.
I have tracked matches, I have seen various data types and none of it supports what you are claiming.
You first have to understand what is fact. Your tracking did nothing but demonstrate the accuracy of the Chance To Win calculation. Instead of attempting to understand why the prediction was off by almost 6% you jumped to a conclusion you hadn't tested. 6% is quite significant as far as player win rate distribution is concerned.
1) XVM was underrating your team weight based on your account when you started tracking. You had a lower xTE rating in the M6 and a lower win rate. You had a low average tier and a lower account WN8. Assuming your performance normalized with enough remaining battles to allow for random factors and stat correction, then XVM CTW was very inaccurate in the range it should have been most accurate.
Yes. I have a record and I have screen shots. There is no correlation in my data to anything you have ever posted.
Maybe you should read individual posts and not lump everyone together with your assumptions and pat responses.
You know and have been told that SBMM would balance skill a very simple concept really. If you don`t understand that can`t help you.
And for some of us it would be an obvious improvement.
As for crap matches they are the ones where the skill balance is very skewed and as a result the MM has more influence on the outcome. (As demonstrated by Neatoman`s graph)
