When meeting someone new in game what is the best way to determine their skill level. Points are not a good indicator heck even win % is decieving. Knowing somone's skill level is key to reading them. ex. new player towntell and scumtell different than an experienced player
QTD (question to discuss)
How to determine someone's skill level quickly in a game to gather accurate reads?
good players can fabricate town reads. they know when and what to say. new players tend to be more transparent. a players skill level is one of the most important aspects to consider
for the sake of the argument. let's say it is final day of round and you need to win to win trophy. lots of players you dont know so it is necessary to determine within a game.
obviously, playing 5-10 games with a player would indicate their skill but sometimes 1 game is all you have.
i think win-rate after a certain number of 100s of games is the only really way to tell if someone is garbage or not. winrate is still fairly poor, but if someone has a really big one they are either a farmer, a cheater, or consistently good
this only works to tell generally if someone is complte por not. determing if they earned that winrate takes time and many games played with them
there's no real way to determine someone's skill without playing a few games with them. win-rate maybe, or if you can tell if they're confident and that the confidence isn't misplaced
