Instead Relic introduced 'levels' a few years ago. Given that the different ladders have vastly different numbers of players or teams on them, ranks are tricky to compare across factions or game modes in particular beyond the top 100. The ladder then ranks every player/team according to their ELO. If two players play a 3v3 as AT, they will be counted as RT.Įach player or AT has a hidden ELO rating which changes after winning or losing a match, based on the ELO of both parties.

Still, for the sake of this article, ATs will only be counted as such if they play a gamemode corresponding to the AT's size. So, in theory it would be possible to reach #1 in 2v2 arranged teams without ever playing a 2v2 match. If two players queue together for a 3v3 match will actually have this match count for their 2v2 AT ranking. Also, players that queued randomly but by chance got put on a team with a former or future teammate will be counted as 'AT'.

However, this distinction is based on whether the players on one side ever appeared as team on any of the relevant ladders at any point during the period, so some of the 'RT's in this study might in fact have been arranged teams that simply did not do enough games together to get a proper ladder rank. When looking at team matches, I also look at matches based on whether they are between random teams or arranged teams (RT and AT, respectively). The referenced articles above also explain a little more about how I retrieved the data, and caveats involved in this. As such it is a follow up to the original articles on matchmaking and map stats, although I will look at the data from a different angle this time. In this article I will examine map and factions stats taken from automatch games that I retrieved from the 15th of December 2018 to the 19th March 2019.
