The obligatory WTF thread

[YoSoySean]

Don't get me wrong... I'm not angry and I'm not gonna say "TOO MUCH RANDOM IN HT"! I'm just frustrated by my latest result. Guess the score! (answer below)

Final score: Htuifoda 3 - Intercourse Ball Kickers 0

[Havok]

those new ratings mean nothing to me ;)

[FrogMan]

maybe 187 to 212 should not have been as bad as 0-3 but that's not that big a stretch to me. not even matching the right def with the right attack, both teams had a crappy defense on one third, a crappy attack on one third and you won midfield by a tiny bit... 212 / (212+187) = 53% so it's not like you should win everytime with that kind of ratings...

YoSoySean, I didn't realize you were the Intercourse Ball Kickers. I've been trying to catch your team for some time now to become one of the top ten teams in my region.

[sterlingice]

I put up a 283 at home against a 250 and got a 1-1 draw :(

SI

[Vince]

This was a crazy week in IV.53 as well -- only my match seemed to go 'as it should' -- the rest were somewhat close by the ratings, but ended up in blowouts, most not the way I would have expected.

[vex]

I put up a 240 against a 173 and got a 1-1 tie.

Ouch

[FrogMan]

yeah vex, that one's a rough one to take... At least you scraped a point out of it and din't simply lose the game...

YSS: I remember that evil series.

Umm... what? I could have sworn that right defense goes against left attack an vice versa... which would be why I abandoned on side defense (where they had no attack) to strengthen the others.

that's basically what i was saying. I didn't take the time to match what against what since if you're so hot on one side but are so bad on the other, the two cancel each other out, in my mind at least ;)

Guy in my series this week, led 198-177 hatstats and lost 5-1.
