Why do I have an average rating of 4.5 when all my individual ratings are over 4.6... ?

I almost lol'ed, but then i thought. Wow , i have no idea... Its not like any kind of math i ever had.
I will therefor shadow this topic in bugs. I have no clue

Bug mods, please move this topic back to Q&A upon completion.

I thought for a sec that my degree in accounting was all for nothing.

Not a bug, just a quirk of how the ratings handle situations where a player doesn't leave a rating in some categories.
This image should help explain how the averages are calculated.

So I give a player 1 star and don't rate anything else it is like giving 1 star for all 3 then?

As far as the effect on their overall average is concerned, yes. It doesn't have any effect on their averages for the categories you leave empty.

Thx for the answer ! Guess I won't leave any "incomplete" ratings from now on if that affect negatively the average...

It only has a negative effect if the rating in the other category(s) are below that player's average. IE: If you rate a player 5 in one category and leave the other two empty then it affects their overall rating in the same way as leaving all 5s would have.
