Here’s a detailed breakdown of the changes to the rating system:" [list] [*] [b]Accuracy-Based Rating:[/b] Player rating now incorporates an "accuracy" metric, which increases with the number of games played in ranked modes and decreases over time. [*] [b]Impact on Ratings:[/b] Due to this new system, player ratings will initially decrease for everyone after this update. [*] [b]Live Rating:[/b] A new stat called "Live Rating" has been introduced in the backend. This time-adjusted rating will be accessible in the next update. Live Rating reflects your rating decreased by the duration since your last game. [*] [b]Rating Display:[/b] The game uses recorded ratings for leaderboards and player stat screens. After each match, your rating is recalculated, which may result in a decrease even if you win. This is expected and is due to the difference between "Live" and "Saved" ratings, as the game readjusts accuracy. [/list] In addition to this significant change, today's update brings many other changes, which can be found in the patch notes ⬇️ ⚙️UPDATE 1.0.5.
