LMU's team ranking system is total nonsense

Team ratings definitely need to be based on a different foundation. If highly skilled drivers form a new team, their personal ratings rise rapidly as well. It would be much better—fairer and more realistic—if the team rating were dynamically calculated as an average of the drivers currently in the team.

Stand right now is:

There were S2 and S3 drivers behind us who were nevertheless promoted due to their team's poor rating. That is nonsense. We—who are less skilled drivers—were positioned further up the grid, yet we actually lost rating points, despite being only S1 drivers. nonsense.

Could someone please explain this?

Why isn't the team rating simply calculated as an average of the drivers within the team?

Eventually, the team ranking should mirror the personal ranking. However, this can never happen because my team rating always lags behind my personal one. When I rank up, both my personal and team ratings rise—and vice versa. They will always remain unequal.

the evaluation is despicable. On this basis, team racing makes no fun and offers no fair rewards.

please LMU, change this to "average rating."

Not trying to be one sided, but i think if they copy them irating team average method or something similar, would that be a better way for team events and determining what split your in?
 
Just watched UKOG who is rated G2 individually.

Something's off.

Maybe the reason is that most teams are new, but it will take forever to reach some kind of equilibrium.

the issue is, that drivers are not required to drive in the races, opening the gate for smurfing & boosting etc.
 
This rating system is total nonsense. Just look at my screenshot. How am I supposed to improve my team's rating when I'm already winning races against superior S2 and S3 drivers, yet I still lose rating points? And those guys actually get upgraded against weaker driver because their team is "new". Sorry, but this system is absolutely flawed.

Regarding UKOG:
If you drive a team race solo, your personal rating remains unchanged. That’s actually pretty stupid, too, since you aren't competing as a team but are driving entirely on your own. In this scenario, there should only be a personal rating—no team rating whatsoever. Logically speaking, the whole thing is completely backward.

I hope LMU finally realizes this. I have no desire to drive in a team race—to beat better drivers—only to be penalized, both as a team and driver rank.
THats the wrong way from LMU! i make also a ticket bei LMU.
 
People don't see the problem exactly the same way I do? If so, shouldn't everyone raise an objection with LMU. That is the only way anything will change!
 
Ja kann man nur bestätigen. Wir sind gestern 6 Std Spa in Split 2 gefahren im Hy.
Von 44 Autos, die an den Start gegangen sind, sind insgesamt 7 Autos gegaint. Der Rest hat Wertung nach unten Team sowie persönlich.
4 GT3 haben gegaint und die ersten 3 Hy
Der Rest Abzug....und das krasse ist....die mit dnf haben teilweise weniger Abzug bekommen als die das Rennen als die letzten beendet haben .
Ja wir zb. Haben das Quali verkackt und sind von 17 Hy als 16 gestartet ok....
Aber nach 6 Std. Auf 8 ins Ziel gefahren .. Ergebnis 8 Plätze gut gemacht und im Team Dr. zwei nach unten,und persönlich alle drei Fahrer einen nach unten. Sr ging Team und Fahrer nach oben, aber das ist ja eigtl immer so.
Kann doch nicht sein, dass man für 6 Std fahren so einen inne Fresse bekommt ..und das dnf weniger Abzug bekommt teilweise.
Gefühlt war der Verlust von Dr schon klar nach Quali und es kann nicht sein, dass man um das auszugleichen auf min P3 vorfahren muss. Auch vom Split und den Fahrern waren 98 Prozent der Fahrer schnell gleichwertig
,...... Fazit ... So kann das nicht weitergehen und nimmt einem die Motivation überhaupt noch anzutreten.

It looks like LMU has annulled the negative result for us. It's good that they're reacting, though I hope they make a lasting adjustment to the system.

Maybe they could limit the spread so that you can only team up with drivers who are close to your skill level. Other competitive team games do this as well.
 
yeah, two different stories here.
Now the devs will be content because they fixed the obvious bug.

The other half is that the whole team/car vs individual ranking seems weird
 
The result of this bad ranking system is that most people are now creating a new team lineup (DR B0) to avoid being disadvantaged in the team race rankings. You could almost call it a glitch. LMU please take this problem
 
It sounds a bit ridiculous that Studio 391 would try to balance the meaning when they can’t even balance the SR value :)
