1vs1 Ladder

I think 10 people play for 3,000 players. I hope they’re well paid. This is a titanic work. In a 1vs1 ladder, every other smurf.

I killed a guy on Kronos in 17 minutes like the last noob. And he had a 59% win rate.

This guy beat me without upgrading his army. He fought at the heroic age with archaic soldiers.

This guy is played by two different people. I have no other explanation. He couldn’t do anything at all during our last meeting.

This guy not playing his Elo. He deliberately loses battles as Gaia and then switches back to Odin.

And here is an equal fight with an equal opponent. Finally.

A guy with 1000 Elo can’t play Gaia. He can’t do it at all. Absolutely.

He has 9 times more gaming experience than me.

It’s absolutely impossible to fight this monster. I don’t understand how he got such a low Elo.

What is this guy doing on my Elo?

Ladder opponents with identical scores are 300 Elo apart in their gameskill. That’s bullshit.

Many things skew winrates on ladder. You can struggle against some gods, yet if they see little play you can still win overall most of your games.

If for like every one set you face 5-6 norse players and you are good vs norse, doesnt matter if you loose 100% of the time vs the set guy, you Will still get ahead.

I guess some of those issues could be solved by having separate Elos by gods or pantheon.

The Rolling down on elo on another god to play again your main and stomp lower Elos is really dumb but thats something people in all games do to inflate their stats and egos. I guess that would be solved if you had different elo for each pantheon or civ.
