What does opponent's level filter mean?

Post by rarehunter »

Hi, I discovered that we can set our game preferences to filter on opponent's level.

- My Level
- Near my level (+/- 1)
- Around my level (+/- 2)
- Far from my level

Does the +/- actually refer to 1 or 2 ELO points? So if I'm 250 ELO, I could say that I only want to play people from 248 to 252 ELO? This seems like a very weird filter to me. Instead, I think it would be much more helpful to have an ELO minimum or maximum filter for games.

In other words, sometimes players don't want to play players that are too low or too high of an ELO. You might want a more advanced game, for example and you want to only play with player that are higher than 200 ELO. Or you are still learning the game and you don't want to be destroyed so you only want to play with player that are lower than 100 ELO.

Is this currently possible?

This level +/- 1 or 2 refers to League levels (Elite, Gold, Bronze, ... depending which game) in Arena mode, it is not the ELO level. For example, level +/- 1 is about players in the leagues just before and just after the one where you are in (if they exist).

For the games in Normal mode, the level of other players can be chosen by ELO categories, if you use the manual mode. The table creator can restrict to players based on their ELO categories:
- Beginner (0 ELO)
- Apprentice (1 - 99 ELO)
- etc. for Average, Good, Strong, Expert, Master.
(The creator of the table must include his own ELO level category.)

Is there a way to see which league folk are in during arena play? And in 3+ player games do you get league point for coming second and how are they calculated? I seemed to get 1 point for coming second in the Clans of Caledonia league.
