Guys who play a lot of regs to begin with will have a lower ROI. .
I feel theres something strange with the bolded declarations
So how do u know if someone with 2% roi has played against regs
70% , 50% ,25% of games ??
Are u reviewing the whole database for each player ?
Or a guy says hey i have 1.5% i played against regs and u believe him ? (lol)
And the other has 5% u assume he only plays fish ?
Lets suppose u have 2% and played 50% against regs how do u know 50% of those regs where actually almost fish (names like lumibox came to mind)
or actually decent regs ?
For the same token having 2% against very weak regs ir probably bad
This leads me to the second bold part , ofc they have but u must define regs
is razynka a reg? is lumibox a reg ? is mariob12 a reg ?
The list goes on i dont think they are and i think 2% against those guys is not good over large samples (500 games +)
U will not find many players with 5% and most of players dont want to sit them much while they also probly prefer to play some1 and win 7% than 1.5% so the fair answer is this
Take a guy with 5% and see the % of games he played against fish and regs
then see what % are good regs or not then the respectiv roi against each population
Do the same for a guy with 2% and draw your conclusions
ROI is the best measure there is if u dont do this u simply are making a mistake
You should clearly state who are the leaders so everyone knows
and i do feel all good players left out should start by sitting the weakest leaders cuz they are he responsible for not being professional and making strange decisions imo (some guys on the list are a laugh)
My advice to all the guys left out is simple , look for the weak guys
2% or less and sit the weakest relentessly
-1% in 2800 games is perfectbly doable if u play well.
