[quote]I did not make any assumption about any "50% average win chance". Please do not assume what I have not written. A victory in a FFA will net you a much larger reward than the loss from a defeat, which logically means you only need to win a small fraction of your FFA games to consistently rise in rank. Rank which is then used to balance team games.[/quote]

This in turn seems to assume that the reward is not not proportional to the amount of games you will lose.

However, if you want me to stop assuming your predicates, then i only have to conclude that your logic is flawed on its own merits.

Here's an example. If you play 10 games with 50% win rate, and your rewards are equal to your losses, you will lose 5 games, win 5 games, and this will cancel out.

If you play 10 games with a 10% win rate, and rewards are 9x bigger than losses, you will win one game for 9x points and lose 9 games each losing you 1x points, which will cancel out the same as it does in the 50% case.

If you play 10 games with a 10% win rate, but you only get "fair" 1x rewards and 1x losses, you will lose 8x points despite performing at your (expected) winrate.

[quote]Again, I made no claim which game mode requires more skill or is more difficult. Game mode difficulty is in no way an argument for merged ladders of vastly different game modes. I am not taking away your achievements in FFA games or saying they are somehow inferior, I am saying the are different from team games and should be separately ranked as such. [/quote]
