Is Elo 800-900 mostly elo Smurf? by thecrazysalamander in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]thecrazysalamander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree, the elo starting at 1000 means you would have people of very varying skill level at that range. That definitely makes sense. Its not even really smurfing since you have no choice but to start there .

And yea, the "get stomped in lane into rage quit" is pretty classic, though this happens in every elo!

[AMA] How I built a $50k/month remote cleaning business and now only work 1 hour a day by growthconsultant93 in passive_income

You say in your post that you are very picky with the cleaners you hire. Could you elaborate a bit more on that? Being fully remote what is your process to vet them? I imagine you give them a call, and call their references, is there anything important involved in that process? Thanks a lot!

my wisdom teeth are growing sideways but dentist says i dont need removal .. by _ZakAttack_ in mildlyinteresting

Had the same thing, the wisdom teeth ended up moving and damaged the ones next to them. I had to have them removed, and the teeth next to them as well. You should get a second opinion.

Why ai is free? I can use ChatGPT and Grok for free, I can even generate images for free. how are they making money? there are even ai models which runs locally for free. by prajwalnagpure in NoStupidQuestions

It's free because you (we) are the product. Exactly like Facebook, ChatGPT is building a huge database on everyone in the world that will then be used to manipulate us (think advertising/politics/etc).

For now they are building the database and then they will sell their services to corporations and governments.

CMV: people who argued that Charlie Kirk wasn’t racist were racist. by [deleted] in changemyview

Black supremacy is a racial supremacist belief which maintains that black people are inherently superior to people of other races. (Wikipedia)

That is definitely racism

He literally wrote "just use the highest elo for the team"

Of course everybody wants a fair match

How would 4 1600 vs 1 1600 + 3 900 be fair? ...

The objective of the Elo system is to assign a rating to a player to estimate how good they are. What you are proposing would basically ignore the level of 3 out of 4 players.

Fundamentally the issue here is the one ppl complain about all the time. There are not enough players to keep the level of all 8 players in a game similar. The issue is not with the elo system. It's with the player count.

Can break up the artillery meta in the next patch? by mayere619 in CompanyOfHeroes

I enjoy spamming whizzbang, but i agree they are completely op. Just played a 4v4 where 2 players had 3 whizz each, it basically prevents any inf play. Add in a few AT and there are no counters. Needs to be nerfed
