The ranking system is bullsh1t. Seriously how many good games do you have to win in lone wolves to rank up?i come in 2nd 1st, and 2nd and still dont rank up. i minus will come in 4th 5th and 6th.
who made this ranking systemI took a quick look at your games:
2 1st
4 2nd
5 3rd
1 4th
4 5th
0 6th
So, in 16 games you placed in the top two 6 times, the middle 6 times and the bottom two 4 times. It seems you are about your correct skill level finishing 3rd most of the time. If you've played a lot of LW games, you will have to win consistently to go up. Finishing 3rd is not "winning" and you are losing and winning in equal amounts meaning your skill is not "better" or changing enough to merit a skill increase.
Jay, maybe I have been wrong on this fundamental issue all along, but I thought Bungie tweaked True Skill to consider 1st - 3rd place in LW's equally as a win (for both EXP and MU purposes)? Was I wrong and they used their base model for it? If so, this makes Lone Wolves a considerably harder playlist to rank up in, considering how often random aspects of the game would cost you the difference ebtween 1st and 3rd place. I could have swore I saw multiple statements confirming what I thought, and not related to EXP only.
