Subject: what is up with the xp system now

it seems like the xp system is messed up it takes forever to rank up in lonewolves i won 70 straight games in lonewolves and only went to a 30 and it seems the only way to rank now is in ts with boosters/derankers on your team and you win somehow

It all depends on the sigma and mu of all players in the game, including your own.

Generally, if you have a high sigma, it will take longer to rank up in LW while you're still at sub-40 levels. If you have your rank set at what the system thinks is your true skill (what a lot of people call "rank lock"), it will also take longer to rank up.

Once you start ranking up, it will get easier. But first you have to just keep coming 1st or 2nd. Honestly, it's all about what the system expects you to do. I got a level 20 staff captain with 6000 games+ with 1500 exp, a level 35 in 20 games of LW.

How? He had lost so many games in LW, that when I started coming first every game even though the system thought I would come last; hence my "true skill" going up.

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

It wasn't always like that. The problem now is that when you start a new account, the people playing LW basically have pretty set in stone trueskills now, so it barely equates to any measurable increase in rank regardless of how many wins you recieve.

IN 2007, when LW was still fresh, you could get a 50 in like 40 games if you placed well
