A-BAL suggestion prerequisites

Postby AbsoluteMSTR » Thu May 16, 2013 5:44 pm

A-BAL is nice feature, but it can easily balance teams wrong because of new accounts. Some match making systems try and group new players to ascertain their skill level. Set a simple criteria that isn't hard to meet in 3 days. Players should have a minimum of 10 wins to play on A-BAL. This will help improve the accuracy of the players skill level instead of assuming 1000 which is the league average (if using a proper ELO implementation).

TL;DR: Set A-BAL requirement to 10 wins.

You already need 15 games to play autobalanced games.

I play A-Bal on the legion A-Bal bot and the 15 game requirement doesn't seem to apply there.

Really? It's actually ten games, but it shouldn't let you in if you don't have ten games.

I agree 10 wins as a benchmark for a-bal. I have played a-bal a lot and get very very new players and TONS of leavers. This will improve the system imo.

Eh, I didn't change anything recently o_O
Unless for some reason it wasn't updated before host bots were restarted earlier today.
