Subject: Can someone explain the lone wolves ranking system

Im a 48 in lone wolves. To get from 47-48 it took me about ten 1st 2nd or 3rd place finishes.

Now at 48 I have 40 1st,2nd,or 3rd place finishes and only 8 that were not top 3 finishes (mostly 4th) and i still havent ranked up. Can anyone explain why?

You want to read this. To summarize, you have played enough games in lone wolves that the trueskill system is pretty sure it's got you pegged, it's fairly certain that you are indeed a 48. In order to rank up from 48 to 49 you don't just have to be winning, you have to be winning against 49s or 50s. Every time you lose to a 49 or 50, it makes the system more sure that you're not a 49 or 50.

You're letting people place above you that the game feels shouldnt. If you're not in the top 2, you might as well think of it as a loss, at least thats how I thought of it. Long story short, stop losing games you're supposed to win

Yep. It's all about who you beat and who you lose to.

If you are at a high level and come in second, but the person who beats you is a much lower level than you, the system sees it as a loss. If you come in third, but the people above and below you are higher levels than you, it can be seen as a win.

I'm not talking about what determines whether or not he wins. I'm talking about what his wins and losses mean to his rank.

Sorry, but that's just not the math. It's just statistics, the only mystery of the system is constants.
