Other New Rating System

[asdfghjklohhnhn]

a=((o/y)*z+z)^z+z*4
s=-(((o/y)*z+z)^z+z*4)
w+a
l+s
y=Your Rating y>0
o=Opponent's Rating
z=1 if y>o else z=2
w=Winner
l=Loser
Start=1000

This doesn't seem complete, and I hope it isn't.

First off, s just seems to be the negative version of a, which is kind of odd...

w being equivalent to "Winner" (same with l and "Loser") shows no numerical value, which makes it very confusing when you say "w+a" and "l+s"

As I've seen people say on PS! (and the way I feel), it seems like you're just making this complicated just for the sake of complication.

And, like Antar said in your old thread, your rating system could very well be a better version of the current Elo system; however, you don't have any explanation as to why it is supposedly better.

Also, like Zarel said in your other thread:

There's nothing wrong with trying to improve a rating system, but I should note that our current rating systems have lots of experience and research behind them.

Anyway, you might want to take a look at the GXE announcement thread:

https://www.smogon.com/forums/threa...layers-overall-rating-than-shoddys-cre.51169/

Notice how it has:

- A detailed explanation of why the formula is the way it is
- An analysis of the disadvantages of CRE and advantages of GXE
- Run simulations, and tables comparing each

That's really the entire OP?
