It is important to notice that this is not calculated through the on-screen (H)ELO numbers but through AllegSkill ratings. This means you may still get a positive stack rating even if you always join the game with less (H)Elo.

In English

Stack Rating measures the attitude of players when joining a game. Players with a positive stack rating join the upper hand game more often than not. On the other hand, players with a negative stack rating try and join the lower hand team on average.


In detail

Calculation for the stack rating is fairly simple. It is the average of game imbalances once the game has ended, taken with the correct sign.

In clearer terms, let's say Team 1 has 200 AllegSkill "points" and Team 2 has 300. Let us assume you have never played till now: your stack rating is zero. Joining Team 1 will push it to -100 (you're antistacking); joining Team 2 will push it to +100 (you're stacking).

Contributes from each games are then averaged out. For example, joining a game with +25 imbalance and a game with +75 imbalance will give you a +50 stack rating.

Note that stack ratings are calculated based of the team imbalance over the entire course of a game. If team A was up by 25 skill points for the entire game, their imbalance would be +25. If a team were up 25 for half of the game, then team B were up by 25 for the remaining half, a stack rating of 0 would result.
