I don't post here, in fact this is my first, but I'm a little curious if anyone has any input into my current situation. I've read the details of this post concerning the True Skill system, sigma, mu, etc...
So far I have played 261 games in matchmaking. Aside from the occasional Team Objective, Doubles, random Hardcore and 2 Lone Wolf missions, the overall majority of my games have been played in Team Slayer.
At the time of this post, I have 244 EXP points and a current skill of 20. I've played for two days straight (breaking for sleep and food and life, of course), and at one point we won 40+ games in a row and still I didn't rank up.
I always play with the same team, and we all started on equal footing. I am not the best player on the team, but I have maintained a K/D spread of 1.3-1.5. Just looking at my experience, anyone can do the math and see that I've lost only 16 matches out of 261!!!
Does that make sense to anyone? While I'm not trying to complain and make a big deal about this, it does bother me that I'm not going anywhere it seems. A couple of my teammates have played more matches in doubles without me, but even still, the winning percentages on their accounts are quite high...so if team members winning percentages factors into the equation then that can't be the issue here.
It also sucks that we continue to decimate players at level 20-25, and can't rank up to get more evenly put together matches. Yes, winning is fun, but it's hardly fun when you're rolling over the competition as if they were asleep. There have been a few close matches, and of course a few stingy loses...but overall, we have little difficulty beating anyone who is a legitmate 20-something.
I think this may just be an anomaly...then again, maybe I've missed something. Still seems strange to me. Anyone have a clue???
