Sorry but this is based on false assumption.

1. Logic is a method and not an answer.
2. That you are much better after 10k games is an assumption and unproven, hence not mathematical in the slightest.
3. There are many players with far more games than I who seem to play just to die. Perhaps this is their version of “better” but I wouldn’t value it much myself.

A rating system is needed to form competition which is where this game survives.

Also a rating system and stats can show you where you could improve. Also necessary in a game based on competition.

The problem I have with all the current ratings is they are all not time relevant at the moment. I could care less about the overall as it is mostly meaningless. What I want to know is how I or someone else is currently doing.
So I would much prefer a rating that only used something like the last 1000 battles for the players overall and for each tank you would have a rating based on last 50 or so.

Same goes for winrate, I want to see it scoped within the same time period, last 1000 for overall and about last 50 for each tank

As usual every time this is mentioned people completely misread the formula and just to their usual conclusions.

The battle count effect tails off pretty fast e.g on some avg stats 100 battle to 1000 ups your rating by 84%, but 1000 to 5000 only increase it by 20% and 5000 to 10000 is just 4% (assuming I typed it right).

They’ve got rid of the silly accuracy stuff so I I’m happy enough with it but since they hide it from the website I really don’t know what mine is!

I am mutch better after 10k battle then after 1k, I call it “experiance” – and not this silly numbers on wot, but beter adaptating to situation on battlefield. So this logic is mathematicaly correct.

Every rating can be padded in a way or another.I was talking about the padding with OP tanks which is much harder than it was before due to the tank stats table that it takes into account.

Well even if you don’t get better your crews gain experience and get better.

Has anyone noticed wild changes in their PR after playing a team battle?
It regularly happens to me that my PR drops like 40 points after playing my first team battle of the day (regardless of loss or win). Afterwards it stabilizes and it goes back to more or less where I started.

WG logic –> more battles you have better you are …
