look at total games played and look at number of wins... assume that every game you didnt win you died in,

So if you played 100 games and won 20 you would have died 80 times therefore win/lose is 20:80 therefore 1:4 = 0.25
Wait...
100 / 20 = 5
That means you should win 20% of your games...your math shows the number 0.25, which assumes you win a 25% of your games.
wut.

It's not 20:80, it should be 20:100. You don't do wins:loses, you do wins:games played. It's good to make it 20:80 when you want to know how many times you've lost, but you don't continue from there to get the percentage.

Obviously, someone with 20 wins and 100 games played does not win a quarter of their games. :/


Edit: A better way to put it is that when you do division, keep in mind, we are looking for 20 parts of this 100 games played that represents the win percentage. If we take out a number equal to the wins, then what number are we looking for?
