Implement tiered ranking system #7

Closed ronnigaba closed 11 months ago

ronnigaba commented 1 year ago

I have played around with TrueSkill in a few Test methods in the old repo.

This could be used to implement a tiered ranking system. Something along the lines of 3-5 tiers, each with 3-5 ranks, similar to League of Legends or CS:GO.

Each tier/rank should be assigned based on a certain range in a players TrueSkill rating.

We should come up with catchy, engaging names.

Kincso has already agreed to do icons for each rank! Icons for each rank could be repeats, but with a different color scheme [Bronze, Silver, God, etc.]

Does each player have an ELO? Is TrueSkillRating the elo of the players?

ronnigaba commented 12 months ago

Not quite - the plan is to switch away from the Elo rating and use TrueSkill instead. The old app struggled to calculate elo, as it would always end up being team-based - but TrueSkill seems to be made for calculating individual skill ratings in team-based games, so I reckon we should use that instead going forward.

@alexandrutatarciuc I figured since we now have the TrueSkill ratings in place, I would submit a request to Kincso for creating some icons to represent each tier / rank.

My initial thought was to have a tier / rank system similar to League Bronze 1-5 Silver 1-5 Gold 1-5 etc etc.

Do you have any thoughts on what the different rankings might be called or whether there is a better tier configuration?
