Will the GA ranking problem be adressed soon?

Unless you're one of the accounts misplaced, does this really matter? Is it more of a pride thing or a whambulance thing?

I think it matters to the folks that do belong there that end up facing them. You don't land at the top of K1 because you're looking for easy matches.

Also if you're one of the misplaced - you've got months ahead of you before you can hope to be matched with someone who you might be able to beat - which feels bad.

Admittedly that's a relatively small number of people - but their experience in GAC should matter for something. This doesn't affect me, but I would like to see it fixed. Who knows if the next thing is going to affect me significantly and it goes unaddressed - then I'd be coming to the forums asking about it, for sure.

This has been discussed in a couple of previous threads. It’s a legacy issue from the switch between the old and new ranking system.

I thought this only started happening when they started the new squish a few months back, unless that's what you meant by "new ranking"?

I had thought it was the Squish when we were discussing it in January (I don’t really like the Squish or any Bayesian shenanigans which tend to throw up more problems than they solve) but the following comment from @StarSon sounded convincing to me:

That is so bizarre. Guess CG is finally going to have to show their math on how they actually calculate rankings.

Unless it’s not wai.

No they don't, because it's not a squish and has nothing to do with calculations. These are just accounts that had that SR before they changed things and then they didn't join for a long time. Now they are joining GAC but sitll have an inflated SR so get put at the top of K1 (and sprinkled elsewhere as well). They'll fall quickly enough, though it's still a super bummer for the people that don't get the easy wins up there.

(@StarSon) If that is true, we should have seen reports before the new squish was put in place. Did we? I honestly don't remember, not that I was paying close attention anyway.

This forum is amazing. Even something as obviously wrong as this has defenders.

People with g11-g12 toons are beating people with 15 million gp and are on top positions of K1?? Yeah must be skill. It isn't suspicious at all.

They're NOT beating those people though. They have been given erroneous SRs by the algorithm. They end up just losing every battle until they drop.

None of us can say CG isn't doing anything about it. Without seeing under the hood, we can't say how difficult or easy it is to implement a fix that doesn't break other things.

Just a temporary vacation.
