ok but I have sense for whether a players is good or not ,some stats def. don't mean anything but some do, Chris:
it is true above lvl 35 are good, it depends on what stats what level though. I've seen lame lvl 40 at 900 wins omg, that's massing but after making these games he may have become good. If someone is 7:5, 9:4 you can't say if he's good or not, or 2:0 or 3:0. But I haven't seen newbs with 10:0, 20:0. When hosts see you with 3:0 they say rofl show more like 5:0 or 7:0, and they are right, newbs or bad players cannot make even 5:0 trust me.
Also I can tell you when someone has decay or is real stats - usually someone lvl 23 at 300 wins will have like 300:297 and is newb, while someone may be 129:90 and lvl 18, I can tell you this has been prolly lvl 38 before decay. Lvls above 35 also get ~30 more wins.
Also I think it is important to say how the AMM works (I hate it , sucks)
- the more you lose from a race, the more you match it (e.g every time my ud matches are half and the other half are vs rest 3 races)
- if you mass win and make good stats on high levels, you match with the same or only with good stats, you can be a lvl 30 at 60 wins and will match a lvl 10 with 9:0, you can be lvl 30 400 wins and will match even lvl 10 at 8:5. The reason why you matched a lvl 30 Chris was in Azeroth it takes minutes to match a game and the AMM couldn't match you with anyne lower, like if there are no other ppl you match those.
But I don't see the lvl, I see at what stats what level. The first levels (up to 10 where you have not more than 10 games), you cannot say, e.g now I have 12:7 and 3-4 of my losses are coz I mass matched undead. I could have done better.'
But I've played many times with 10:0, 9:1, 43:20, lvl 30 at 70 wins; and their skill corresponded to their stats, they were good. Now there maybe be a weaker lvl 30 lvl 70 than another lvl 30 at 70 wins but in general that's good. As you can see that random-human I played on TR did things corresponding to his skill even though he was not human real race. That elf lvl 31 at 200 wins was not good, but someone at 60 wins will own me.
high Lvls at low stats are good, to be honest lvl 40 even for more than 200 wins is lame, not to say anything else. I'm talking about solo, I know in RT things don't depend on you and high lvls and everything there means nothing.
Let's make it the Law Of Ladder Stats:
Level alone does not mean anything, but depending on the stats and excluding decay/free losses, it does. Higher levels with fewer stats are good players, lower levels with high stats are bad.
I am lvl 10, but because I owned some good players my opponents are like those with 40:20; soon will be lvl 30 at better stats or lvl 20 at 40 wins with stats 40:15, smth that I cannot own and still showed I needed little to own them. Those must have been lvl 37+, I can see it from the way they play and the stats they make.
That is why I ROFLed at custom public games and stopped playing them at all, coz I should be playing ladder and not waste my time with cg, 2ndly coz all join a game and all are obs, no one plays or u just see newbs including retards who would make peon rush, 3rd) because in ladder I play vs much better.
Yesterday I was afraid to continue, as I knew what oppos I would be matching and needed a break to continue and today I'll face 'em.
