Be completely honest with yourself.
Here's my definition of the 5 categories, but of course, skill is a subjective term, and I'd like to see what you define skill as.
Great- someone who truly excels at the game, think pros and well known MLG 50s.
Good- someone with multiple 50s that they play on and maintain easily, usually players who have been around for a while.
Average- 45-50 range, people who might not have been around for very long and are still learning how to play properly, but manage to be proficient with most weapons.
Bad- Majors to Colonels. They've gotten past the halfway mark in terms of numerical skill, but, imo, there really isnt' much of a skill gap between these players. Often new players, sometimes veterans who either never showed true talent or never cared enough to utilize what talent they may have.
Terrible- Captains and below, almost always new players who aren't very proficient with the weapons and know next to nothing about strategy.
With all that said, I'd consider myself to be average.
How can the rating be set on rank alone? Rank doesn't show skill. Not all good players play matchmaking as much as hardcore players.. I stick with custom games.. over 4.1k played.. 760 social, 450 or so ranked and i'm a Major Grade 3 with skill of 30 in lonewolves. Does this make me "Bad"?
