Also, Sooyoung is the only waifu material on SNSD anyway. Though after seeing Jiyeon cry in that youtube clip I feel like I could write her a crown of sonnets EZ
Seohyun, Yoona, Yuri, TaeYeon, Tiffany, Sica, could all honestly get the wife material, only exclusions are Hyoyeon and Sunny cause they don't seem like they would be very fun to be around for long periods of time. Long haired Sooyoung would be questionable though.

I can remove this if Nome thinks it's a little too creepy (image is publicly available though)

Yo Swag, Sooyoung practically screams traditional asian waifu. Yoona maybe. All the others seem like marriage would tie them down.

This isn't a consideration, the question is, are they amazing enough to be Waifu material.

Aren't there a bunch of you on HonGAF that just love the pudding sound pack? *cough* bzm, swag *cough*
That sound pack is one of the 2 reasons I will still play HoN when Dota2 comes out.

There is nothing to talk about in the Dota 2 thread. It doesnt even have a community section.
This is true, threads more boring then the MLP and Victorious threads combined, shout-out to Neki and Alumnus!

I don't actually read those threads

Can't you guys just admit that both of you have reasons to be in the right and in the wrong and that one little play amidst an ocean of games shouldn't start a civil war in HoNGAF?

As far as I'm concerned the real mastermind here is Thor, taunting Sanjay with an initial quite harsh answer so that Sanjay would answer back and spark a feud with Loki, so that Loki would be more distracted in subsequent IHLs and give Thor an easier time.

Thor confirm or deny that you have just been EXPOSED.

damn. gonna lose my top spot now. gotta lay low for a few days!

Ms. Pudding is actually hot.. did I mention I'm good at HoN? I could give you some pointers. :>
My favorite one was: Double Tap!

So I started playing around with the data using different ranking systems and I kind of like Microsoft's TrueSkill over Elo. It needs more data to be useful (~55 games per player according to their paper) to make semi-accurate ratings but from what little data it has, it just feels "more accurate". With Elo, MoodyShuffle and Pillow are near the bottom, but with TrueSkill, their "conservative estimated rating" is near the middle.

As long as I'm above certain people I'm happy.

Three different ranking algorithms.
1. The old Elo one (with fixed rounding errors). Uses a logistic distribution.
2. Use a Gaussian distribution instead. KFactor is smaller based on your rating.
3. TrueSkill

None of these changes are live yet. I'm still working on some stuff.

I apparantly just learned that across the infinite possibilites of all universes, I'm a constant whose position never changes.

TrueSkill rating is a lot different from normal Elo. The more games you play, the more confident the algorithm is about your ranking unlike in Elo.

Image Elo like this:

and then TrueSkill like this:

With Elo, a player's rating is the only thing that matters. You just move up and down the distribution's mean when you win/lose. Your rating is somewhere in that curve.

With TrueSkill, a player with lots of games play (Eric) has a very high curve (the algorithm is more confident on where your rating is) while a player with little games play (Natalia) has a flatter curve (its less confident). So if Natalia wins against Eric, her curve goes up a little bit and her rating changes radically, but for Eric, who's played a lot of games, it means little.

are you holding kfactor constant or changing it when people fall outside of some number of standard deviations?
