DesAnderes:
I’m not sure if I would call the TG rating inflated.
I play activly on the weekend some teamgames and 1v1s. My ratings are:
1v1: 1350
TG: 2050
Both corresponds roughly to rank 4000.
I’d say that there are far more players in ranked TGs active, so it would seem sensible that ELO distribution is much higher.
There are multiple threads about TG ratings not being reiable. I also made my own. For a proof why TG ratings are off, see for example my thread about this subject:
I feel like ratings are a bit off. And i think i am not the only one who thinks there are some weird things into the ratings. So i decided to have a look.
I used the following source:

This site only shows data for Ranked RM games. I would love to see some statistics about DM (both 1v1 and teamgames) and unranked maps. I dont really have a guess about DM, but i think the results of unranked are even more extreme than the results for RM team game…
