wow lol, so i got up this morning and i decided to continue my Lw journey from last night.

well, last night i got a 47 in it, then i had to play about a whole page and half worth of Lw games just to rank up to a 48!.

a page and a half worth of games is litterally 30+ games in a row of lone wolves.

out of those 30, i think i only didn't place top half about 4 games, so that means i had to place 26 games just to rank up 1 level?

anybody having these problems ranking up in Lw and can you explain to me why Lw is so hard to rank up in?

Note:i heard lw takes a lot of games to level up at, like 25 games from 49-50, but i am only a 48 and it took me 26 wins from 47-48 which is rediculous.

i cower at the thought of how many wins it'll take me to get to a 49 and then eventually a 50.

anybody care to explain Lw's sigma/mu thingymajig?

I think it is simply due to the number of games you have played, as you get more EXP and essentially play more games, the required games won to rank up increases exponentially.

Also, win streaks are most important. Think of it like a an empty jug of water and each win is an increase of 1/10 (this will differ and is unique to the player in question) of water and a loss is emptying half of the jug.

Sorry for the long reply, I just hope that someone else will find usefulness in it, if not yourself.

I changed usernames to match my gamertag. My original account, wambo114, was created when I got xbox live. I'm a 2007 kid really!

if you are placing anywhere that isn't first or last that is only cementing your skill level.
first half is good for your exp, but if everyone else comes into the game on a 45 and you are on a 48 and you come 3rd, yes it is top half, but you are expected to do better than them, so you wont rank up.
