Re: ApexTAB skill rating is a joke!
I see the point you're trying to make, but I don't think this is the forum (or the correct approach) to make it.
This is the first stat tracker, it seems, that anyone has created for Apex Legends. There are certainly going to be issues that need need attention. Especially given that there is no public facing, official, API available. They are working with the tools that they have available to them and providing you with a service for free because they have a passion for gaming and development.
Please consider that they are implementing a version of Elo Rating System.
"Performance is not measured absolutely; it is inferred from wins, losses, and draws against other players."
Though in a game like Apex Legends, you cannot simply compare players based on wins alone. There are other skill factors involved in what makes a player "great". It seems to me that they are attempting to create a system that factors in Legend performance on top of just strictly winning.
Sure, their approach to Elo may be flawed currently... but it's still new. I have no doubt that the team behind ApexTab is always looking to improve their product.
So rather than just taking a giant s*** on them in a forum that isn't even specifically for ApexTab, maybe submit a suggestion for how they can improve their system in a professional way. They have a contact page, you could even help them improve their API by interacting with them via their GitHub repo.
Perhaps once there is official API access, we can have a true ranking system that includes many factors. Maybe something that involves damage, kills, amount of times you were knocked, killed, and respawned. All of those factors paint a clear picture of your proficiency on a particular Legend. We'll see how things go as this game grows.
I am not suggesting that you are wrong for suggesting changes, but maybe you could alter your approach and you might find them more receptive to your input and that could result in a better experience for everyone.
Sorry for the long post, everyone.
