 Post Posted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 4:46 am  Post subject: Stats info

In the stats our number of loses should be posted in our stats information so we dont have to figure out the difference of my games scored from the games i won just to figure out how many lose we had. That way It would be easy to know where we at. Oh yea the number of games we played should be called "Games Played" instead of "Game Scored" becuase it was really confusing to undertand whats is game games scored mean. First time i played this, i thought game scored meant the scores i earned from winning a game but i notice it only increase one points everytime i finish one game. Then i finally figured games scored are the number of games i played.

It would be a great idea to change and add new things in our stats information so its easy for players to understand.

I was kinda confused with the missions scored and so were my friends. It should be changed.

Wats not to understand? Games scored means the games that have been recorded (excluding the games that are, for ex, under 3 min. And games won means how many times you have been the winner of any or the games scored. To find out the games lost just take the number or games won away from games scored. people that are new to the game (as u r describing) will probably not bother to go much into depth with how their rating is calculated, but rather their rating itself. If you just put Games played, the players ( if they are logical) would interpret this as all games that have been played, including those that have been under 3 min. If you would like to put this in layman's terms, it would result in the Games scored changing to something longer, like: Games played that qualify for a rating change. Games scored is just a shorter way of writing this. And looking back at ur first comment ("our number of loses should be posted in our stats information") wouldn't u be able to do simple subtraction in ur head, im looking at cap0ne's stats right now and it says: Games scored 114 Games Won 106, I immediately see that he has lost around 10 games. I just see it as the bigger the difference (relative to the size of Games scored) the worse the player.

ElectroncFlash has it right - not all the games you played get scored, so it is called Games Scored.

"Games scored 114 Games Won 106, I immediately see that he has lost around 10 games. I just see it as the bigger the difference (relative to the size of Games scored) the worse the player."

yea it's easy to understand but it can be easier if Lu could change it. It's hurts to think to much. Not the ones with the 3min rule a win is a win even if they leave.

Solution: Nate loves to look at stats so next times he's in the chat room ask tell him you foRgot your stats and see how fast he goes.

I know it's just worded funny to me, and btw I hate the three min rule, first of all if u quit when there's still two other people u still lose rating and it counts as a loss. If ur gonna quit do it fast y would u wait for two minutes before deciding? Also maps like crowded always end on under three min so they r pointless to play.

I think all maps should be reset with a countdown in them, like the new GoG, it lets you know when three minutes are up and btw it's EXTREMELY helpful.

well i know i could substract small numbers easily and fast to find how many lost he got. But im just saying for other players that dont like to think hate math (im not saying i suck at math) they would have a hard time to figure out the number of loss they have. Plus for example i wanna calculate my game loss, since i have high number of loss and games won it would be hard to figure out that fast. It would be easy to add the feature of the number of loss we had so if players wants to know their record they could just go to their stats info and look at it. Plus just change the name game scored and just change it to games played. Then for other games that didnt count just add another feature called "Less than 3mins" or "Games didnt count". That way its easy for other players to know.
