This is not entirely true. I started a very good streak with a buddy on Team Doubles. After playing the same number of games (I only played TD with him never without) he reached highest skill of 30 and I only 21. He was jumping ranks like you wouldn't believe. His was a new tag with fewer games played but we still started the same on TD together. The games were pretty balanced with both of us getting 23-27 kills each. He would go up two or three ranks in the time I would go one. I noticed something interesting when playing ranked games. It seems to me that when ranked team games are played the ranking system compares you to a similarly ranked player on the opposing team. For example in Team Slayer if Team A consisted of a 31,28,28,28 and Team B 29,28,27,27 then the system would pair them off as such: 31-29, 28-28, 28-27, 28-27. So even if Team B wins, the gain is not the same for the low ranking 27 as it would be for the higher ranking 29 even if they 27 was destroying the 31. My point is this I don't care about Sigma or Mu. My game performance should reflect my skill. I should not go down in skill because of factors not related to my skill ( I played Shotty Snipes on High Ground, had to carry the team--we were one person down and we lost by one point) and of course I lost skill points because of this. Another thing I would like to question, only slightly off topic, why should I be matched up with a highest skill of 40 when my skill is 29? I have played a number of Ranked TS against players with a highest skill of 40+. I have yet to reach highest skill 30. A highest skill of 40 should never be able to lower their skill level past a certain point. A player with a highest skill of less then 30 should never have to worry about playing a player with a highest skill of 40+. Also skill differences should be limited in parties on most ranked playlists (except for RBT). A player with the current skill of 12 does not belong in a ranked game where the average player is current skill 27 (check it out here).
