What the rating is made of

Valve's model averages four factors into a starting value, then adjusts it for head-to-head results. For DENDELE that is 1,354.5 minus 53.6.

The head-to-head correction is 4.1% of the total. Almost everything about where they sit comes from the four factors, not from whom they have beaten.

Stretched onto 400–2,000400 + 0.502 ÷ 0.841 × 1,600 = 1,354.1
  • 0.841 is the highest average of any roster Valve loaded and 0.000 the lowest, both printed in Valve's file. If the top pulls away, everyone below falls without playing worse.
  • Valve ranked 401 rosters in this release: every lineup with a win and at least five matches in the six-month window.
  • Head to head is added last: a Glicko adjustment, match by match in date order.
  • Valve's file prints 1,354.5; the factors here are rounded to three decimals.

DENDELE: Above the median of the 14 chasing the slots on bounty collected, opponent network and LAN wins, below on bounty offered.
