Are ladder stats just not being recorded?

I didn't see anything about this in any other Relic post, so I'm here to ask. Are our ladder wins/loses just not being recorded right now or are they just not showing up on profiles?

Also, please release a balance patch.

The statistics are being recorded on my profile and the leaderboards for retail are working somewhat - I don't know specifically how, but I assume it is the same way the COH2 ones work, and I'm not sure why there is now a separate leaderboard for each race, that seems wholly stupid.

Steam elos aren't being acknowledged in any way anymore though. This means there's a tendency to find very low level players even if you yourself are at the top of the leaderboard. Which sucks. It also means there's no quantifiable measure of skill anymore in DOW, which there was pre-this-patch.

Are your wins/loses updating on your profile?

Torpid

For ranked games, yes.

Mine are not, mind I am talking about Retribution.

For me, playing team games in "Custom Games" seem to get recorded as ranked 1v1 games. 0_o

Same for me

Was this when you were both on mods, or were you playing retail when this happened? It seems mod-compatibility was somewhat crippled with this update and weird things happen sometimes on mods that don't on retail.

Retail - I don't have any mods for DoW2 installed.

Huh, is this a bug? Where custom games are being counted and ranked games are not?
Is this going to be addressed next patch with a wipe?

Let's hope so, I lost a game on retail and it's embarrassing!

:P

Yep, I confirm that custom are recorded as 1v1.

They should fix the ladder/ELO because right now newbies get matched with pros and its a pain in the **++heresy redacted++**. More specifically when the randomness makes a pro team vs a **++heresy redacted++** team. It is like... They wiped us and they have all the map and its just minute three...

Yeah. It's really really annoying. I used to play retail to get good 1v1 matches at times when nobody else was online because my elo was high and so I'de only ever be put against other players with a high elo, assuming my eventual opponent got that elo legit (which 90% did) then I would have a decent game. Now I just get anybody because the steam elo is irrelevant. I'm not sure if there is some new hidden elo factor (there must be something because what determines the leaderboards?), but if there is it is either terrible at judging skill or it isn't affecting matchmaking. I'de say 25% of my matches are against complete novices. That's absolutely unacceptable when I'm #1 on the leaderboards for IG when I'm searching and that would never have happened pre-patch.
