----Will update this post later with more on the idea.

If you're looking for a number that determines ingame skill, then perhaps you should look at their rank rather than the total number of games played.

The ranking system is absolutely terrible at determining in-game ability. It promotes you beating the hell out of white belts left and right than simply win 2/3 against a great player.


But regardless: There's absolutely nothing to determine in-game skill except your own judgement. QI is a measure of games played, and there's no reason to change that. If you care about wins, look at your win/loss ratio, it's printed on your scorecard.

My main move is the clap, but it's because I can do pretty much anything from it, there's a very clear difference between new players and expirenced ones

velair, you should be around bluebelt/brownbelt... don't feel like pumpin the calculator out ... Current belt system is fine, just look at their win/loss ratio if you really want a number on how much they win...

Sorry, but everyone judging people as being good in-game via belt or "talent" deserves to have rammed so far into their arsehole that they will need surgery to reverse the process.

The whole concept of the qi system encourages farming to be fair, as people want to get specific items, and items are restricted by qi. Changing it from games played to games won doesn't change anything, and here's a fun fact, I wouldn't judge anyone in this shithole of a game/community as "skilled", yeah sure, you get elitist fuckhats who think they know everything, and there are some genuinely nice people who aren't bad at all, but there are people who understand how joints function and people who don't...

Belt doesn't change anything, and amount of wins/losses/win to loss ratio means nothing, as nobody is going to win a huge amount of games if they understand the game pretty much inside out, as quite a large amount of people do as well, and even then, they'll lose to inexperienced players.

Now can you stop being gargantuan fuckwits and calling people "skilled" at this game, you can predict shit and understand joints, but that's just logic and experience.

Thanks.

Edit: Forgot to mention about the rank system, but from what I can remember, it is based of of an elo system (similar to League of Legends and chess), which can be affected in multiple ways, so has some relevance of "skill", but there are other factors as well.
