So i assumed ZW is not ZK, cuz its not, its way differ.

Jumped on happy to lose cuz im learning new version of ZW, whatever.

Apparently i was 30% or so to getting purple, now after a handful of games of ZW, while i get the gist of it, im 10% to going lightblue.

Is this how it's gonna work?, or just my\our fault for not !noelo?

This is why I refuse to play noelo FFA, zerowars or any custom game. It's still not clear to me which games will influence my rank, or why unrelated modes do so for that matter. Then one can wonder why team games become one sided stomps so often when noobs and vets are all tanking their rank in FFAs, 1v1s and zerowars.

my own loss is less important..

However this will invalidate balance generally, some quite good players at ZW, even tho comparatively rubbish in proper ZK

FFA, 1v1, Teams i think is fair to group in ranks, its all the same game, but ZW is not.

I'm the lob who robbed many rating points from 4hundred today. ZW should be noelo and past ZW games should be removed from WHR.

ZeroWars is supposed to be marked as a special/unrated map. Since the new versions haven't been tagged by admins yet this wasn't the case. You can check yourself whether a map is unrated by looking for the following symbol:



Other than that, the only reasons for a match to be unrated are desync, !exit or the noelo modoption.

I went ahead and tagged ZW 2.0.5 as unrated, as well as retroactively removing all ZeroWars battles (from all versions) from WHR. The rating changes won't apply until the next restart though.

Good to know it's marked per map, though I had no way of knowing if I didn't read your post.

This is still going to be a problem in the future, because there are regularly new versions.
You cant set noelo = 1 on the custom Autohost where the map regularly shows up.

Unsupported maps could maybe be noelo by default?
But this could be seen as bug when people vote especially for an unsupported map.

Maybe allowing map creators themselves to tag the map as special would help.

Actually any admin can use
!setoptions noelo=1 

on the autohost which should persist between matches.

I set that earlier today when I read this thread. Presumably it works. There's probably an argument for making all unsupported maps default no-elo since often those are testing games even for standard maps.
