Would it be possible to have a host option to hide the grey color and games played?

Doesn't help when you're still grey because you only play Ladder... I have 150ish ladder games, played one of my first lobby games last night and had to explain to host I just don't play custom lobbies. Surely ladder rating should un-grey you in global?

I've had this problem too. I'm told I'm either pro or not pro enough. Yet I find the lobby names named after male private parts and gender orientation towards men loving men most annoying, players should keep sex out of supreme commander hosted game names and not host maps that depict penises.

Everyone has had this problem. It's because everyone when starting is grey. And it's a small community, high likelihood of smurfs and general rts autism. It's a systemic problem, it's inherent, just get used to it. It weeds out the softcore casuals and that's what shapes people into faffers. Just embrace it.

I think that is a good idea. You can still use auto-teams to at least try to balance it even without knowing any ratings. And Auto-Teams could maybe use TMM ratings to help with low player number games.
Formula for how auto-teams could interpolate rating:
// num_x := number of games in mode x // mean_x, deviation_x := mean and deviation of players rating in mode x // custom_multi := multiplier between 1 and inf, gives custom game values more weight than TMM if higher than 1 If (num_custom <= 15) { num_custom = num_custom * custom_multi num_1v1 = Max(num_1v1, 15) num_2v2 = Max(num_2v2, 15) num_total = num_custom + num_1v1 + num_2v2 weight_custom = num_custom / num_total weight_1v1 = num_1v1 / num_total weight_2v2 = num_2v2 / num_total mean_rating = (weight_custom * mean_custom) + (weight_1v1 * mean_1v1) + (weight_2v2 * `mean_2v2) // We could also adjust deviation: deviation = (weight_custom * deviation_custom) + (weight_1v1 * deviation_1v1) + (weight_2v2 * deviation_2v2) } -
Just have a matchmaker queue that gives global rating and also has very basic teamgame maps, solves the whole issue.
-
I have a feeling that adjusting auto-teams forumular could be done faster and easier (depends how hard it is to get access to all TMM ratings in lobby). But we might want to have global rating TMM queue in the long run too, yes.
-
Considering there has been a pr for the auto teams function change for a while I am not too sure. It is a race to see which gets done faster, the new matchmaking algorithm or the auto teams
-
Couldnt we use that kind of interpolation formular to also fix rating reset problems for any TMM queue?
It would be slightly harder becasue we would have to marry it with the current interpolation that just lowers the mean based on number of games played. -
@sheikah nobody is working on auto team, so TMM is most likely being done before.

It shouldn't be too difficult to create a sort of "transition queue" that could just use 1v1 for now and operate with some preset basic 5x5/10x10 pool for new players to get their first 10 or so global games. Even if it may eventually better be served as a 4v4 queue or something like that.

@harzer99 I tell the host not so all welcome now then leave the lobby
