    Should the MP LBs be based on a True Skill algorithm?

    Main idea of this thread is stated in the title... I came up with the following method the other day, but just think we should start a discussion!

    Even if that idea sucks, lets start coming up with ideas guys. I did that in 10 minutes, the same amount of time Redlynx spent developing the XP scoring method.

    Thanks for the feedback. You might get more feedback on your idea if you had a topic title that more accurately reflects the contents of the thread.

    "Should the MP LBs be based on a True Skill algorithm?" - I did that in 15 seconds.

    touche!

    Does the background surrounding the poll question come up white just like the text color for anyone else?

    I voted yes, but scoring should be calculated differently imo. I don't play mp, haven't seen what the menu for it looks like so some of the following might already be included or I'm completely off for what is possible and/or needed and wanted by people playing online.

    I saw someone else mentioning something like this already on the forum on how to calculate the score. I think he explained it something like on an elo-basis;
    If you play against someone with higher elo you get more points than when you would win against someone with the same-ish amount of elo. And vice versa; the higher ranked player loses points. I think that explains it all.
    I do think that should only count if there was a difference between competitive matches and friendly matches. Ranked and player matches for example. So that if you want to just play a couple of fun matches with some friends and just mess around your ranking won't be affected.

    I have no idea how complicated this is to implement with having two different racing styles(8p-supercross and single tracks), but it might get the online competitivity more interesting. As far as I know how it works now is the player that plays the most matches ends up at the top of the lb's.

    Just my two cents.

    So I am pretty sure ihazfaults is actually Zerofault based on his post history.

    That being said I really do like the idea for trueskill rankings, and the first post was obviously well thought out.
