It would be nice if there could be the equivalent of H-Ratings for team play.  Minimally, the rating could show up on the individual player stats page.

Winning a 2x2x2 or 3x3x3 game would count the same as winning a 3 player game.

..so no one sees value in this? I'm trying to figure out if it's valid.  If a player is a good team-player, it is entirely possible for them to be paired with poor team-mates.  But then, in many if not most of those cases it could be argued that they paired themselves poorly.  After all, the only person who has absolutely no control over who their team-mates is the originator of the Game/Tournament ..and perhaps the partner of the last person who joined the Game/Tournament.

what about those that are random placement into a team? as most of mine have been - which is part of the reason i've stopped joining those particular tourneys.

It's a fine idea. H-rating doesn't care about the strength of opponents or teammates - it's more like a win percentage.

But it is a win percentage that is skewed by the skills of the player's partners.  Over time, that should even out.

All win percentages here are skewed in such a way. You'll find the pool of players for each map is somewhat different, and a higher skilled pool should lead to lower win percentages. So, it's not unique to team play. What is meant to even out over time is ranking, not win percentage.
