this new system is rigged to make the worst tier 10 player look better than the best low tier player
it is designed to make all those new crappy players running up the tiesr think they are a good player and getting better
kill one tier 10 in a tier 10 battle and do more damage than kill all 15 in a tier 2
but which is the better player?
higher tier battles generate higher damage and xp than the same performance at a lower tier and tier x players never fight tier 11 and 12 because there are not any and that is a real advantage
the game used to push players to play their mid tiers to keep their tier x going not any more it now punishes anyone not playing a tier 10
I have 14K battles over 2 1/2 yrs so not a nob at the game

best system I have seen is noobmeters much more accurate. Judge of player ability

Why dont they separate the platoon and solo stats becouse they surely has the data to do this. Platoon playing is the most common way to rise the stats. Way more common than tier 3 noob hunting.

It’s so much easier to win (show me a guy who’s WR in tier 10 matches is +60% without platoon/TC/CW) and to survive and get those easy last 3-6 shots to crippled enemy tanks in the end and get easy dmg and kills this way.

The work is going on in the WoTLabs forum. Shouldn’t be too hard to find, but I should also tell you that if you are interested in stats, an even better rating is also in development, but only works with dossier files and cannot be calculated from the information provided in WG’s API. When it’s done, we’ll try to have it implemented in WoT Statistics and vbaddict.net.

[...] not think Wargaming’s new Personal Rating system is going to gain much traction as currently designed, because it involves the number of battles played. To put it bluntly, some people with 15k battles [...]

the max (0, xp -160) means you’re using whichever is higher, 0 or average xp -160. So if you have 159 average XP, you’re using 0 instead of -1.

The goal of this “value” if to give an indication on how valuable a SINGLE PLAYER is in WoT battles.
Valuable is/should be = helping the team win a match?
If you can choose only ONE thing to measure this, what would you choose?
Personally I lean rather heavily towards damage done/spotted. You?
I think winratio is a strong contender as well, we should be doing everything we can to help our team win, sometime the “everything” will lower your damage and/or get you killed, but it’s still the right thing to do and is almost impossible to measure in any other way than WIN ratio.

Adding survival rate and hitratio seems useless to me….

I don’t really care about in-game stats. Its a game. Most of us just want to enjoy it.
Those of you that absolutely MUST compare e-peens, please don’t do it in open chat during a battle, Its really boring.

- average experience (without PA bonus) –> Okay, but average vehicle tier is still a factor that has its influence here

- average damage dealt per battle –> same as above

- amount of battles played –> actually pretty useless

- winrate –> most important factor I guess, bc that’s what the game is about

- winrate in battles where the player survived –> sounds intresting too+

- hit rate –> really? If I fire 10 shots and hit 10 times it’s not as good as if I fired 12 shots and hit 11 of them, is it? Don’t see the point with this one.

“new accounts opened only for statpadding/twinking will never have good rating, because they will have low battle amount. This urges players to develop their main account and helps to fight twinks/sealclubbers/pedobears”

Real stat padders have ~10k battles on 1-2 tier tanks. So yeaa… not rly.

So much this. It’s gotten to the point I’m so exasperated by the fools that try and belittle W/R as a player skill representation that its devolved into humor. I have to laugh or I will just cry.

Honestly, everyone making this argument really are just screaming “I failed Stats!” at the top of their lungs.

Here’s a hint for them: Learn about outlier data points before you post a “But I kilt 30 guiz in 1 fite and lose!” response. Here I’ll even help.
