I had this happen to a friend of mine in Team Doubles, we were beaten convincingly 25-18 by a Level 47 and a Level 18 (47 had 22 kills, the 18, 3) I am a Level 38 in TD and my friend was a 27 so combined our team had +1 skill more than the enemy, and we lost, which if I'm understanding the OP correctly should have resulted in a lower Mu since the 'Trueskill' system doesn't take into account in game statistics (other than win/loss) however my partner, 'Saturn 1337' went up by a single level. The only thing we could think of to explain this was that he got MVP for the highest K/D ratio in the match, but according to Trueskill that doesn't matter, I'm not trying to bash what is an excellent explanation (albeit an approximative one) just looking for some answers as to why this happened, preferably in terms of Mu and Sigma, so that I can relate it to the original post and maybe finally make some sense of Bungie's Halo 3 ranking system.
Thanks in advance, and kudos for the brilliant OP.
