RE: Another Look at 2v2 Super Titan
Hi everyone still reading this thread.
I was inspired to do some number crunching using my 1v1 and 2v2 ranking trends spreadsheets, to see if we can determine the skill disparity in a player population by examining the average rank differential over time. My reasoning is, if there is not a lot of rank shift in a particular section of the ranking list, then the player population has settled into those ranks and are therefore closely matched in terms of skill. Higher rank differential would suggest a more diverse skill disparity. Take these graphs with a few grains of salt, though: other reasons why the rank differential does not shift much include 1) The player is playing infrequently, or is not playing at all, and/or 2) Matches are more difficult so the player takes a longer time to complete matches. However, I think it's human nature to slow down on the competitive edge when you feel you have met your match. All that to say, I think it's plausible to correlate a low rank differential with low skill disparity. tl;dr: look at the pretty graphs. I used 1v1 ranking data from 2/1 until present. For the 1v1 population, we can see that there is very low rank differential up until about rank 45. ![]() ![]() I used 2v2 ranking data from 3/1 until present (all that we have available to us). For the 2v2 population, we can see that there is very low rank differential up until about rank 20. ![]() ![]() So, I'm not sure how interesting these graphs are, or how useful. But, I just felt like doing it! ![]() It'll be GG when you're up against GG of GG. |
