I understand mostly what you are saying by I still think the system is a little bogus and it should take kill to death ratio as a factor. Just because my Sigma is low or whatnot, I will level a lot slower than my friend with higher sigma does. Fair enough, I can live with that as long as I don't fall too far behind. The only problem with the system, in my opinion is I am consistently having positive kill to death ratios. +10, 9, 7, 8, etc. It's stupid how I won't level up faster than my friend who goes -6 or so in every game just because I am smart and I carry the team. If I am the reason the team is winning, I should be going up, not my friend who is just getting a free ticket up faster than I am going for not doing anything to help the team. In lone wolves, when I began playing, I though it was obvious it would be easy to level up in. I consistently had positive K/D ratios, which shows, hey, I am MUCH better than the people I am playing because I am doing way better than everyone else yet I level up way to slow compared to everyone else. It's hard for me to go into a game alone knowing I will most likely carry the team yet stay where I am at. If I get on a crappy team, I believe if you go positive K/D ratio, +5 or greater, you shouldn't be moving down. It's not your fault your teammates couldn't do their part. If you have a positive K/D ratio verse any team your level, in my opinion, it shows you are much better than them. It shows that hey, you are much better than these people so you should be moving through the system faster, but that isn't how it works.
I know the system doesn't take K/D ratio as a factor but it really should. It's not fair to those who are actually improving and the game but are having a hard time increasing their rank because of bad teammates or it just won't seem to go up. I am struggling to get to my 30. I am a 28 in double and in team slayer and now I won't go into any ranked game without a friend. How come I can play with my friends who are brigadiers and whatnot, rank of 40-42, so I am playing with higher ranks and kick their butt's while having a high kill to death ratio in the game but I struggle to get my rank high when in not many games, they could get it to 40-50. I know I am better than them, so why am I struggling to get up there when game after game, I play people of much higher rank who I absolutely kill? How was it so easy for them to get up there and I am struggling? It seems unfair to me that none of that is taken into account.
When I first started my account, I had horrible lag issues and could barely play half the game due to lag. (My screen would just cut out or there would be no one on the map except me for the first 6 min or so.) In the last 20 or so kills that I could play, lag free, I would rack up a decent amount of kills considering the time I had to do it in and still come in first or second in kills. Unfortunately, I believe it is because I didn't perform well from the start, due to my bad connection which I later found out how to fix that it is so terribly hard for me to level up compared to friends and others.
In my opinion, this is not how the system should work. I am better than the higher ranked players, my stats everytime I go into a game Vs. a much higher level player proves it. I consistently do better, proven by K/D ratios in game Vs. much higher levels, so why can I struggle to get to 30 when they got to 50 or 45? It's ridiculous. Just because I had a rough start, I can't get to 30 although I have proven I am much better than the higher ranked players?
In my opinion, the system should see this:
(Random Names)
Red Team:
Crazy Guy1 (40) 10 kills +1
Lazy Person (43) 7 kills 0
I am Funny (39) 7 kills 0
Gooo red team (41) 5 kills -8
Blue Team
ME (28) 12 kills +9
Friend of him (42) 8 kills +1
yeah yeah (29) 7 kills -4
i like cheese (45) 6 kills 0
This could be either social or ranked. If social, judge it by their highest skill.
Okay, so by looking at this, although I don't want to seem full of myself because it definetely doesn't always work out this way, but looking at these stats, I see the best player would be Me. I had a huge K/D ratio spread and am a way lower rank. I figure that I should be able to get to the rank of 40 or so with no problem at all because I am playing people that are 40's and totally killing them and proving it by my K/D spread. I would figure if I consistently go positive K/D ratio Vs. people that high, it shows that I am better than the 40's I am playing so I shouldn't be a 28 and it should move me through the ranks at a rapid rate. It should see that. Unfortunately, because I had a rough start, yeah yeah, who basically only gained rank because of me and the other teammates will rapidly go through the ranking system whereas I will slowly go up, very slowly. He could be a 40 before I finally get to 31. Yet, yeah yeah did nothing. He actually hurt our team, but he is still a 40. I helped the team greatly, pretty much brought the win "home" but didn't advance.
So by looking at that, it should take K/D ratio into consideration AND make it a huge factor. I find it unfair that I can play social games Vs. Brigadiers and prove I am better than them but have a hard time advancing through the system. I am tired of playing with my friends who are 40's and 30's and winning with a high K/D or losing but still have a high K/D spread but still have a hard time advancing whereas they don't. Another point which I wish to make is, say you were to go into the game alone. The people on your team are totally random and say you lost but you still had the +9 K/D spread. How fair is it for the system to drop you a rank? You are proving that although your team stunk, you still outdid the other team. You are still better than the other team. I understand the system not increasing your rank off a loss if you just went +9 but it sure shouldn't drop you. You are still showing, hey, I am better than the other team. My team just didn't do what they were supposed to. I shouldn't suffer for that.
That's just my two cents.
I'd appreciate if you didn't flame, I just want to get my point across.
