Question is in the topic.
Skirmish should be ranked. Custom is not - the stats are recorded, but don't factor in the rankings.
Are they ranked even if your opponents are nothing but bots?
Like if the match starts, and my opponents are nothing but bots and I leave (playing bots only on multiplayer is boring) then that counts as a loss?
Sometimes it shows up as a loss sometimes is doesn't show up at all it seems.
[1] Skirmish should be ranked.
[2] Custom is not - the stats are recorded, but don't factor in the rankings.
1. TRUE. Pantheon + Skirmish >> Ranking in the "Overall Statistics" (OS).
2. ½ FALSE. Custom games are not counted in the "Overall Statistics" ranking ... but there is a 2nd ranking hierarchy in "Custom Game Statistics". You thus could have 2 different ranking-numbers : one for OS, and one for CGS.
The situation is that if you do a quick Search on a Player, you will only see his OS rank. The CGS rank is a few clicks away, and only appears if one really takes the time to look for it.
honestly nobody knows much because 1. The actual game mechanics and documentation are piss poor 2. SO MANY game features aren't working correctly so people can't tell if you what it's purpose truly is.
It is as I said. The stats are recorded, but are not used in the overall ranking. You re-wording it doesn't make it false.

You can not game the stats as some of those in the top 10 did. Custom games do not count towards overall rankings anymore. Unfortunately, going back to update those player's experience to make their rankings accurate would be too much work for little gain. Instead, we're going to wait for a stat reset in the coming days.

Your previous post did not explicitly mention "Overall Statistics" ranking, and it did not in any way allude to the "Custom Games Statistics" ranking -- which are TWO separate, official forms of ranking.
I did not say that your statement was "false" ... but "½ FALSE", which it remains, as worded in your first post. And I quote :
« Custom is not - the stats are recorded, but don't factor in the rankings. »
It remains a 50% FALSE statement, because custom games ARE factored in the rankings -- in the CGS rankings.
But since you have +77 Karma ... I suppose that anything you say on your Forum is always 100% TRUE ...
Ohh, 
for snarky deliciousness
Of course whatever annatar says is true, he has over 300 karma on the SOASE forums, they worship him there
