Hopefully ratingupdate will be up and running this weekend. Since PC and console players now play together and there's been such a long time since the site went down, I'll be clearing old ratings and starting fresh.

Having a lot of trouble trying to figure out the new patch. Traffic seems to be (differently?) encrypted now so just listening in with fiddler isn't as useful for figuring out the new API. If anyone's knowledgeable about this please reach out either here or on github!

Thanks a ton who ever who helped figure it out and get it working, I definitely couldn't have done it without you. The DB is fresh so you won't show up until you've played a game (and I still need to manually do all the VIP status stuff) Probably have some bugs to discover too

I've considered just not counting matches if the difference in rating is too high, but this would result in a lot fewer matches counting for the top rated players. Is that something people would be interested in?

People fighting other challengers and/or getting boosted definitely increases the variability in celestial. It's actually higher than F10, even! Makes it very hard to find decent matches, especially when you're stuck in a random lobby of just a couple dozen other players.

There'd also be massive variability in celestial skill depending on who gets there first. If a really skilled few players make it in, than they'd have the opportunity to shut everyone out unless you specifically only choose to fight other celestial challenges.

Going to take down the website briefly to apply some changes, including both skipping over one-sided matchups as well as pagination for games (so you can scroll through and see all your past games) Ratings will stay the same, the changes don't affect them much from testing.

Slight tweak to the site regarding what games count, now if either your or your opponent's deviation is greater than 300 it'll automatically count, regardless of expected outcome. This is to help prevent people getting "stuck" in the wrong rating.

@GideonTheGreat5 Negative rating isn't a problem, that's just how the system works. In practice pretty much nobody gets down there because you'd need to be truly garbage against the initial rating, but you could just as well based the system around 0 or even like -1000 or something

As part of the rating reset, I've updated the algorithm to give better predictions for outcomes. Previously, it would overestimate your win chances at high rating differences and consequentially you'd lose more than you should for dropped games against lower rated players.

Other changes are deviation decaying much slower than before, so you're not forced off of leaderboards just from a few days of not playing. It also keeps track of the highest rating you've achieved, as well as the top rated opponent that you've beat.

@Wool_Mane @jiyunaJP Sadly this, the reason you have younger players doing well in other games is because there's just so many players coming into the scene on a regular basis. Strive has 50k active players total, across platforms/regions. Valorant has 20k players in just the top 0.5% of EU.
