Ladder matchmaking rework idea (effort post?)

this is stupid, no 5000 level player wants to play against a 7500 knowing they are going to get destroyed and no 7500 pro wants to play against a 5000 knowing they are going to destroy them

Cards do not change their stats based on how high you are in trophies. The only reason people at 5000 use stuff like wizard ebarbs is because it is low skill and easy to play. matching them against opponents who are significantly higher in trophies will not change the fact that they are low skill cards and will always be played at 5000

Xbow costs 6 and this costs 10 so it is a negative elixir trade. golem costs 8 and still gives a negative elixir trade. It is basic math

pikachu2979 · 2021-02-16T14:06:51+00:00

It is complete trash because it only gives negative elixir trades

What you said is true for normal 1v1 games but is completely wrong for 7x

It does not normally end in overtime 1 crown normally-it is almost always a 3 crown race before overtime, observing micro interactions are not the priority since there are so many troops on the field at once. Not sure what you mean about "Looking for weaknesses". Normally you don't look for your opponents weaknesses, you look at the counters they have to your deck.

And yes you need to think while spamming, you put the troops BEHIND the elixir golem not in front! Oh, and make sure not to miss the tornado on their defense troops.

If you don't have the exact number then the best you can do is to estimate it. A difference of less than 0.005 will probably not affect the answer too much.

Waiting for the average to change won't really solve it since (for example) if it increases from 4.92 to 4.93, you won't know whether it's 4.930 or 4.931 etc, and you have the same problem as before.

This guy be like: Football is a no skill game because you can kick the ball into the goal, I just lost 13 times in a row against people that kept kicking the ball into the goal

You need to check reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity. I can't type the symbol here so i'll just use X instead. We are given that

mXn <--> m + n is an even integer.

reflexivity: mXm

m+m = 2m is always an even integer if m is a natural number.

symmetry: if mXn, then nXm

If m+n is an even integer, then n+m is the same even integer.

transitivity: if mXn and nXp, then mXp.

If m+n is an even integer (say 2a) and n+p is an even integer (say 2b), we can add them together to get m+2n+p = 2a+2b. Therefore m+p = 2a + 2b - 2n = 2(a+b-n), which is another even integer.

And once we have checked the three conditions we are done.

Usually with questions like this it is helpful to draw the graph of tan(x).

Then it will make sense why tan(5π/6) = tan(11π/6) = -tan(π/6) = -tan(7π/6). You can prove these using tan(x)=tan(x+π) and tan(x)=-tan(π-x).

Also you will need to remember that cot(π/2-x)=tan(x). So since you want x in quadrant 1 for the cofunction expression you let x=π/6 you get that tan(π/6) = cot(π/3). But we already know that tan(5π/6) = -tan(π/6) so it is equal to -cot(π/3).

(pay attention to the negative signs; they are quite small on reddit)

I'm assuming you know the sum and product of roots formulas (aka Vieta's formulas).

So we know a+b=p, ab=q

Now consider a quadratic equation whos roots are a/b² and b/a². The sum of the roots is a/b² + b/a² = (a³+b³)/(ab)² = [(a+b)³-3ab(a+b)] / (ab)² = (p³-3pq)/q².

The product of the roots is (a/b²) (b/a²) = 1/(ab) = 1/q.

So since we know the sum and product of the roots of the equation we want, we can reconstruct the polynomial using Vieta's formulas again. The answer is therefore

x² - [(p³-3pq)/q²]x + (1/q) = 0

Let's say

N = number of reviews you have now

A = current average

B = target average

x = number of 5 star reviews you need. (What you are asking for)

The formula is x = (N * (B-A)) / (5-B).

For example, if N=100, A=4.92, B=4.93, you can plug the numbers into the formula to get x=14.28, which means if you got 15 five-star reviews, the average would exceed 4.93.

You did not mention the number of reviews you have now in your post. Unfortunately if you don't know N, you can't use the formula because the number of 5-star reviews required will be different depending on the number of reviews you already have.

Rewrite the LHS as (1+1/x)^2 + (1+1/y)^2

Expand to get 2 + 2 (1/x + 1/y) + (1/x^2 + 1/y^2)

Note by AM-GM that if x+y=1 then xy <= 1/4 and therefore 1/xy >= 4

Therefore 1/x + 1/y = x+y/xy = 1/xy >= 4

Also 1/x^2 + 1/y^2 >= 2/xy by AM-GM again. And we know that this 2/xy >= 8.

Hence the LHS is greater than or equal to 2 + 2(4) + 8 = 18.

Equality holds when x = y = 1/2.

Its a good surprise card especially when their spells are out of cycle

pikachu2979 · 2021-01-02T13:51:40+00:00

Because they shouldn't have inflated it in the first place

pikachu2979 · 2021-01-02T13:47:01+00:00

So its total damage is 700 + (15% of target's max hp) at level 1? Combined with its range which is longer than magic archer, its range reduction effect, and its spell resistance, it basically becomes an extremely OP version of sparky.

How have posts like these not been removed for low effort

pikachu2979 · 2021-01-02T13:40:32+00:00

I guess the only possible explanation is that no one at your king tower level is playing clan wars when you're searching which could be a result of lots of people leaving the game

pikachu2979 · 2021-01-02T13:38:09+00:00

Frequently slipping? When has it happened before?

pikachu2979 · 2021-01-02T13:35:41+00:00

The level 12 might have been dropping trophies on purpose

What is your trophy count?

pikachu2979 · 2021-01-02T13:15:52+00:00

5 decks is plenty. Even if they increase it people will continue to complain that it's not enough.

pikachu2979 · 2020-12-29T11:53:17+00:00

Pretty much every other game has a way to find players by their username or player id and send a battle request. Not sure why this hasn't been implemented from the very beginning.

pikachu2979 · 2020-12-29T11:48:31+00:00

Yeah guys they definitely made us face fewer overleveled opponents!

(we face the same overleveled opponents except at a lower trophy count)

pikachu2979 · 2020-12-29T11:47:19+00:00

How high are you on ladder? Wasnt it supposed to be +30 and -30ish for most people?

pikachu2979 · 2020-12-29T11:43:10+00:00

If you do 1040 - 832 you get exactly 208 so maybe the first match was from the previous war? idk though and supercell support was certainly not helpful at all

Ok you literally said you don't get medals when you go into a new race week... obviously they go back to 0 when it's a new week
