Study on perceived versus actual in-game...

[quote=Rlazgoth]Hi! I'm a former LoL player who stopped playing (except for an occasional ARAM) back in S5. Nowadays I'm a researcher and one of the projects I'm involved in relates to LoL. I am conducting a study which aims to determine how much players' self-rated skill level is aligned or misaligned with their actual in-game performance. In other words, the degree to which players tend under or overestimate their own skills. If you are playing ranked in the current season and are at least 18 years old, you can help us with this study by [url=https://iscteiul.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7U3bCOjOr3jeStU?source=mob]completing this very small survey[/url] (5 minutes or less). Happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks![/quote]

[quote=Tauricus2017]Whoah, that's so cool! Such a shame I am not eligible for the survey. The last time I [i]willingly[/i] played a ranked game was like 4 years ago :D I really wonder what the results will turn out to be though. May I ask whether you plan to make an official publication once the data gets collected, or are the results going to be purely confidential? Either way, I wish you the best of luck finding people for this research <3[/quote]

[quote=Hazardist]Just took it. Happy to help![/quote]

Might take a while until we reach that stage though; recruiting participants through online forums is a very slow process. In the meantime, if you are interested, feel free to take a look at the [url=https://repositorio.iscte-iul.pt/bitstream/10071/24712/1/article_86903.pdf]previous paper I co-authored on LoL[/url].[/quote]

All these long words, data tables, references... - my smol brain hurts just thinking about it xd Needless to say I find the results pretty interesting. The Proteus effect is something I never even realized might be a thing. Especially the fact that monster champions tend to exhibit less toxicity when compared to most other champions. Really cool stuff, thanks for bringing all that up to our common & humble Mobafire folk <3[/quote]
