Where

🐐

like a weighted average?

@@jamesnakos2357 The arithmetic mean of the two scoring systems

Yeah it's crazy to me that they didn't do something like this. Make it 100% of the closest one and only 50% of the other guess for example. That way you reward certainty but also provide an incentive for creative hedging.

hope she’s better soon!

@@zi8gzag Thanks so much 💝

The red roads are very wear resistant as the road surface is stone pebbles embedded down in asphalt instead of an asphalt surface, so they have stayed for a long time in the rural areas.

fascinating, thanks for sharing

love it

I will be the noob

the idea is that they want to reward people for committing the correct region when the other team sends one in the right region and one somewhere else. personally i enjoy the original more but i think there are reasonable arguments to be made in favour of the new system as well.

This seems to be the popular opinion, but I actually HARD disagree. I watched all the rainbolt tournaments and found the fact that it only counts the closest guess as a huge problem that gets exacerbated even more the more players you have per team. hedging is just way too powerful. "It's probably here, but we can go here, here and here just in case and there's no downside." this new system forces people to make a decision - commit all players and get max points, but risk being wrong and getting blown out, or hedge somewhere else and lose some points if you were right. Being absolutely certain and going all in on a location should be rewarded accordingly.

@@chriscastle1629 I agree with the sentiment: Encouraging a discussion and a commit makes a lot of sense. But on the flip side, on the lower ranks, people sometimes don't know which continent a difficullt map is (less common during the 2v2 duels as they're almost always in a city in my experience)'. So hedging is more fun there. I think it should be split, old system until gold.

@@chriscastle1629 yeah, and i would also add that the idea that the "team" aspect gets diminished is not true at all - arguably MORE teamwork is required to come up with the most reasonable guess(es) now that you can be punished for not committing to a certain region with your team. i think the reason i personally still prefer the original system still is that it seems like the punishment for hedging is quite harsh. in reference to your second paragraph - oftentimes the latter ALSO results in being blown out, especially when multis are in play. i just wonder if perhaps there would be a way to make it so that if one player is close but the other is far, it'd sort of ease the amount of damage taken, such that hedging is risky but not AS risky as it is now. i have no idea how the math on that would work and it'd probably even be too complicated for the devs to even consider implementing, but yeah.

I really think a hybrid would work best: count 30 - 50% of the more distant guess for each team. Incentivises the commit if you're sure, but makes smart hedging much more viable and useful.

yes as it feels like Lithuania

Spot on

facts

thank you!!

😢

Type shiiii

Frrr

5:08, RC 5k's but they still lose points cause Z8 hedged, cause the points system is exponential its always better to try have 2 close than 1 close 1 far for hedge, even if the 2 people get it wrong sometimes, especially if you're good, sending together will always come out on top

@@lewisinho ohhhhh ok the exponential points, that makes sense, thanks

Fell off
