How exactly do they determine the total skill of a team, and thus who is favored? Iāve just been making casual observations today and it seems like itās probably a sum of the skill of each player? If so this is a weird and IMO ineffective structure. Feels like the game tries to get teams of similar total skill but whatās actually happening is that each individual guys skill isnāt factored with the team theyāre on so youāre getting players who donāt belong together in the same game.
For exampleā¦if everyoneās skill is 5, for a total of 25, thatās fine. That team makes sense. Even if itās like 7, 5, 5, 5, 3 thatās not awful. But a team that has a total skill of 25 can ALSO be made up of like 12, 7, 2, 2, 2, which is nowhere near the same thing. I know those arenāt real numbers, thatās just an easy math example. Anyway, I donāt know how else to account for the fact that thereās always that one guy who goes completely nuts and puts up 14k while the rest of his team puts up between 8000 and 6000, meanwhile on each team thereās another poor soul who puts up like 3500 because they in one way belong in that game. I just donāt get it.
