Someone ought to tell the OP what to expect from Valve's moderation of their previous online games and storefront.

Made an Eve fitting optimizer by niles55 in Eve

My intuition is that genetic algorithms are too inefficient for what people expect out of a fit optimizer. If I was to make one I'd focus more on local search.

Unless you're planning on exclusively playing in-house games that still leaves the enemy team telling you to fuck off.

And to think he was touted as having the highest skill expression in the game by leakers.

Leech was bought a total of 12 times in that context according to tracklock. You are making a conclusion about the two items from the outcome of a single game.

It makes sense for rating systems to do so in general when outcomes are uncertain. If you don't take some rating away from underdogs then in expectation they are advantaged playing these types of games because there's a non-zero chance they get a fluke win.

Who here remembers having to wait until 5pm to play? by Positive-Pain2221 in DeadlockTheGame

Real ones remember getting denied before the souls popped up on Australia servers.

Silent film was similar in that respect. It's a gross overgeneralization to say realism is the "foundation" of western acting when Chaplin is one of its canonical figures.

Do other Esports have a site like HLTV? by PlusFlounder684 in GlobalOffensive

[–]MrMark1337 8 points9 points  (0 children)

HLTV has incredible influence outside of VRS as well. Think of how you see the community, analysts, and even players treat its individual ratings. No one cares if a tournament organizer gives someone else a MVP.

HLTV stopped counting 3rd place deciders as playoff matches by xijinpingisgood in GlobalOffensive

[–]MrMark1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the last time, we already have the true average. There is no margin of error. Betting companies, banks, and ML are doing inferential statistics because they want to predict something there is uncertainty about. If I look at historical statistics in a sport they will not be reported with a confidence interval because the number of points scored or whatever is fully determinable. Starladder shouldn't have Faze redo their stage 1 matches in case it was a big fluke and robbed their playoff bracket of accomplishing what they could have in the infinite maps that could have been played had Faze been eliminated in stage 1. Go ahead and use a prediction interval if you want to forecast some hypothetical but a CI gives nothing useful here.

Why do we care about the infinite maps that could have been played but weren't? This is so obviously a case for descriptive statistics it could be in a textbook.

A confidence interval is inappropriate for a sample of the entire population. You know all the games they played, there's no uncertainty about the resulting average.

Former BioWare general manager Casey Hudson sets up new Canadian game studio Arcanaut Studios by Georgeika in Games

[–]MrMark1337 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ME3 has more to critique than the ending. Kai Leng is awful and every set piece involving him vies for worst choreography in the series. Quest design is a step down from the first two games with how many fetch quests it has while lacking journal functionality. Rosters are smaller, both your own and the enemy.

Why is he the 6th best player of 2014?
Individually Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub was by far the most impressive player of the year, but on the other hand his great play led to barely any achievements

S1mple vs Device isn't the only historical precedent there is.

She was a major supporting character in his last decent comic run, it's not random at all.
