How about adding the first 2 numbers after a decimal on the winning percentage? For players who have finished thousands of games, I'm sure I'm not the only one busting out the calculator to find out how many more I need to win to get the next percentage point.

1. Please use the form

form wrote:Concise description:
  • xxxxxxx

Specifics:
  • xxxxxxx

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • xxxxxxx (you can obviously delete this for bug reports)
  • xxxxxxx


2. Does win % really matter so much that you need it to the hundredths of a percent??
3. Really??

seems easily changable, and I am sure many other people have done the equation on a calculator and surely even free-hand. The point is that we are talking about thousands of games. In professional baseball, they round to the thousanths for only 600 AB at the most.

2. Obviously not to you, but maybe to someone else like the OP?

3. Who are you to judge someone else's requests? Do you need to be a jerk or is it possible for you to respectively disagree?

I agree that we should have it down to decimal size. I like to know how close I am to the next percentage point when I am winning games. It would make things more convenient for the players to not need to use thier calculators (and heads, that is).

This could be done on Map Rank if you liked.

Could print a number telling you how many more wins to the next percentage point, I think that may be useful.

I think I understand why this was suggested. When a player has a very big number of games, the percentaga becomes almost static.

Maybe an alternative way to solve this would be to add a partial percentage on las x games played. Something like

Games:
211 completed, 99 (47%) won
Last 100 games, 63 (63%) won
