Personal High Elo

Post by blargh_bah »

Is there a way to see your highest ELO at a game. I see there is a chart showing your ups and downs but not the actual number your ELO peaked at.
If not, there should be included in the player progression section in players profile

It should not, because peak elo is meaningless.

Care to expand?
Considering we track ELO, have a progression chart, and have a ranking based on ELO. There are achievements for ELO.

Elo, as a measure of skill, is only meaningful when considering averages and trends. The instantaneous elo is greatly affected by the latest results, especially in high-variance (luck) games. Peak elo is only a measure of the luckiest winning streak (or of the ability to game the system).

Majority of these games require some luck, to varying degrees, and therefore ELO is not an accurate measure of skill anyways.
You have a ELO progression chart for each game which seems far more meaningless than showing a players high ELO. If comparing high ELOs mattered to you, you could always check a players progression chart to look for the trend or spikes.
There are also numerous stats available for each player for each game which have little meaning as well. Less meaning then what a players high ELO is.

Curiously I published the same idea just one day after present post was first published.

I would REALY like to have the highest ELO available. Although it may not be a perfect representation of one's skills, it would be nevertheless a kind of trophy that is not more or less stupid that all the rewards and medals that are poured in my profile (I have got over 300 such chocolate medals)

Current ELO is not more meaningful, if not less
