Actually, if you notice on the leaderboard, Tech has won fewer than 50% of his matches. I'd be more concerned about facing Puma, who has about 85% wins.
I've only played 200+ matches, but I've kept my win rating at about 75%.

Nope, keeping your win rating up is something extremely easy, so judging a player by his win rate is ridiculous.

Judge him by the kind of games he win, If you can keep your so great 75% rating playing 8 player matches, then you are my hero.


Tip: If you are and idiot an want to look at your win rate and think you are good, create 1x1 games and wait for a guest to come by. He will probably place his territorry on the edge of the map if he is first. And if he doesn't he still plays bad. I have seen some guys keeping an 92% win rate like this.

It's not very hard to have 85% of wins when you always play same map,rules and on 4 players. But puma is cool, we always draw.

Trust me, techgump is equal to if not a little bit better than Puma. Puma is good at playing to his strengths- he only plays where he knows he can do well. Granted, he's still WAY better than pretty much everyone, but I'd say techgump is at least as good.

What if I make an account, play one game, and win? Does my 100% win streak make me the best player in the game?

And when you're that good, does it matter who's better? Would you really care whether you had $5 billion or $10 billion? Either way you easily have more than you can spend.

[adude159753]

Of course it does. Because your win loss is 1:0 and when you divide that out you get infinity. So technically you have a win/loss of (infinity)%.

[techgump]

Actually any number divided by 0 not infinity; it has no meaning at all. And 0 divided by 1 is 0.

[lordmaatjee]

you're right aboiut that techgump, but win/loss % isn't calculated that way, it's: ((amount of win games)/(total amount of games)) * 100%
so in this case that means ((1 win game)/(1 total game))*100%=100% so what ratburntro44 has said is right

[techgump]

Correct, I decided not to even go there.
