Add a 50 elo ranking for games with 'Cooperative' tag

Post by Romain672 »

*something between beginner and apprentice
Hi,
So we got conflictings things:
- we don't want to add a new 50 elo threshold for all games since that's confusing for everyone to have differents ranges
- there is some cooperative games where you only gain +1 elo per win
- there is lots of people in those cooperative game which don't want to play with 1~30 elo, but want to play with people with a little experience

As a result I propose to use the 'Cooperative' tag to make it automatic. The games having +1 elo per win are a minority but are specific to cooperative/solo games. But ranking in solo game don't seem to matter.

And doing that would encourage a lot the new cooperative games to goes for +1 elo per win.

50 victories would still be a lot, but you divide the problem by more than half.

Thanks :)

Elo for cooperative games is fake anyway. If you want a tag for someone with 50 wins, just give 2 "elo" per win.

It's like the 50% progression required for conceding, games are free to implement the progression tracker as they wish such that the 50% mark is reached when it makes sense. Same here, games are free to implement the "elo" rate such that 100 points are reached when it makes sense.

And ask that to every developer and every future one?
I would not count for that.
And having the downside of the meaning of elo being much harder for new players (why do I have 8 elo? I played 6 games)?

I mean sure this is another problem for conceding, there is some games where that value is completely wrong.
But at the same time, I'm not seeing a good idea to automatise it, you could try to take the average number of turns of every game maybe, but still games like Corridor have usually the first ~6 turns being extremely fast (it's not a problem for Corridor, but I mean that some game could be much worst than that), while others could have some comeback until the very end.
So that's different imo.
