Posts from HOMM3 Ratings and Stats

10 tiers look pretty good. It's a small division by class. Players with a rating of 1500-1700 can play at the same level; there are Top players - Phoenixes, candidates for Top players - Wyverns, good promising players - Rocs, then mid-range players, beginners, and those who are just clueless. There's a plus to this.
20 tiers would look more impressive, and to avoid losing the division I mentioned above, you could assign 2-3 creatures to each level.
Level 7: Angel, Dragon, Phoenix - indicating top-tier status.
Level 6: Naga, Unicorn, Wyvern - candidates for top tier.
Level 5: Minotaur, Lich, Earth Elemental - good promising players.
And so on. Having 3 creatures per level would look quite good.

Well, judging by the creatures... Bishop is a candidate for the top players, and Stinger is a promising player :D

The point was to stir up the discussion, but there's something to say...

For the main rating grinders, the essence of this formula is that 20-25 wins at the beginning of the season (each worth +20) will give you 2000 rating. Archangel, what for? :))))).

What I'm getting at is... isn't it time to change the formula? Because it's at least 5 years behind the current state of affairs.

For those obsessed with rankings, the essence of this formula is that 20-25 wins at the beginning of the season (each worth +20) will give you 2000 rating points. An Archangel, for crying out loud! :))))).

Let's discuss (and later we can add a poll) the possibility of factoring in reports that haven't been confirmed within a certain period (e.g., a month) into the rating. There are a lot of very old, unconfirmed reports (including from active players) http://heroes3stat.tk/unconfirmed/. But won't this lead to even more unconfirmed reports?

Do not register players with unconfirmed reports for tournaments. And after the tournament is over, post a separate list of unconfirmed reports as a reminder.
