Frogboy

The percentage of games you have played with that player (or agaisnt).

Im pretty sure at least.

it's based off a certain number of your last games.. liek, the last 25 or 50.  If you play with someone one game, you'll see 4%.  Next game, 8%, then 12%, then it changes tho... it's not just 4% increments per game.. as I've seen 82%.. or 22%.

Ok, I noticed that if some one joins and leave, they still  show up in the familiarty rating. This seems to always happen.

I would all so like to say  THANK YOU to Frogboy for getting this out.  I cannont belive how many people pug and especialy premade try to stack teams so that one side stands no chance.  They sure do seem to get irritated when you call them out on it though.

MY playign experiance has been generally much better since I installed the overlay, as I can now easily see if teams are balanced.  I have no problem with premades at all, but it seems many of them just want their team who has hundreds of games played and a win rate of 80% to play agians 3 pugs who have win rates of like 30%.

Thank you again, this has made the game much more enjoyable.

I think once this overlay comes out it will be harder to get a game going since people want to play with their friends while people who dont have friends want a balanced game. Honestly it's rare to get both. Worse it already takes up to 30 min to start a game.

Awesome addition to the game... it greatly affords new players (that know enough to download it) a better chance at a fair fight / a better online experience that will keep them coming back for more... any idea when it will be pushed as a part of a patch to the entire community?

...I also echo K's inpatience for what SD has in store for us next!

i got no problems with pres wanting to play other pres but then they should make it clear in the title. if the game says something like "have fun" then i expect an enjoyable game for both sides. if the title says "no noobs", "be good" or "average" and a noob or some guy with 20% wins joins, then the host has to check and tell everyone (asking if its ok) or he should talk him out of the game and eventually kick. and if under these circumstances the host is in a pre then he should put that in the title. if its not in the title i expect everyone to play a fair game. and fair game means even teams.

i dont play fair games all the time and i know that, but i try to do it more often every day as i experienced myself that it sucks otherwise.

i dont have a connection to host more than 3vs3. if i want to play 4vs4 i depend on others and there are really nice people out there who care about balance. but these guys who care are not premade!

so there are these premades hosting games like "mid" or "be good" (nothing like "pre", or "looking for pre") or something similar and having 80% stats themselves. they dont even try to balance the teams and even worse kick you if you tell them that the teams are unfair and the host should do his job.

so where is the problem to kick a beginner out of a "be good" lobby? btw. i very rarely host games but if i do the title doesnt say something blurry like "be good" but tells hard facts i.e. min 100 games, 40% wins+. ive not come across many beginners who say "im not good". most come from singleplayer mode (if they played it) and think they are awesome out of the box!

there may be other reasons why the win% is a bad indicator but what oyu wrote here is wrong.

indeed the more games someone played the less ONE games influences the percentage. but this is not an argument against it as indicator. in contrary the long run shows even better the "skill" as longer it is. because the initial learning time that may caused many losses gets more and more less important and vanishes from the percentage.

so basically the shown percentage is allways a bit under what you can expect from one currently because it is downed a bit by his learnign past. but the longer he plays the lesse his pearning past plays a role in the calculation. henve the longer you play the better it gets as an indicator and not worse!

but ofcourse there may be other reasons why it is still not a good indicator, like playing premade vs pug, 3min quitting, ....
