I am scared

so what should ppl as player do in order to stop "losing rank progress by wining games"?

Because Ive been dropped from 14% to 3% solely by wining games :<

^this is actually sadder than it sounds

to gain elos u need to start loosing obviously...
u've been suspected in pluking activities so ur elo function has been reverted :P

Yes, he means the rank progress bar from supergiant to neutron star shown on the user page. Indeed, this can appear a bit strange because it depends a lot on the distribution of other players.

Possible solutions: Make ranks depend on constant whr number thresholds independent of other players. Another possibility that would only weaken the effect is to show a bar for ladder progress from 0 to 100% in the whole player base, not only own precentile. In any case, color scale could be made continous additionally.

To me personally, it doesn't really matter too much which of those measures is taken or if it stays as it is and you just have to be aware that it also depends on others.

Furthermore, I think that the current WHR standard deviation cutoff to translate between real WHR and visible WHR should be increased from 20 to 25.

How do you do that Fealthas, since apparently you are currently the guddist of the galaxy at the moment?

Archangel if your skill stays at the same level, and everyone elses does as well, no matter how many games you win or lose, you will stay at the same rank progress bar place. This means that when you play enough and WHR has you accurately placed, the adjustments to your rank will get smaller and smaller until you don't really gain any rank, unless you learn and improve your play, or you get worse and start losing (which can also happen periodically).

Who cares? no one plays this game.

How do I get mexes before I make units?

Actually you could even change your gem color if the skill of everybody remains constant by changing your playing frequency such that your max(20, whr deviation) changes.

it is designed to do like that, but it doesnt actually do like that.

The real way to gain elo is to not play. As soon as I started following the spec way of life, sigero and godde lobbed themselves. Soon I was #2. Then randy made the mistake of playing and I somehow got #1 by speccing.
