Subject: How Does Arena Place You For a Season? Something Must be Wrong!

Ok last night I got rated for my 5th day for this season in team arena, so I got placed for the season. It had me a silver, so today I find out im 95% silver at that. But here are my stats for the season so far

Win Record: 25/40
16.4 Kills a game
2.7 Assists a game
8 Deaths a game
2.07 KD Ratio
2.4 KD/A Ratio

With those stats how am i only a 95% silver ? lol

I understand it is all relative, but I have a friend who I have played with all 40 of these matches, who for the season has a NEGATIVE KD ratio and averages about 7 kills a game maybe a little less YET he is rated 70% Silver, please tell me how this can be? Also I have checked recent players stats who are rated above me and NONE have better stats than me. The same thing happened to me last season but not as bad I was rated 50% gold and you wouldnt believe the stats of people I checked who were rated above me last season, there were people who were like 800 more deaths negative with like a 35% win percentage at that. Apparently the better you do the worse u get rated.

Arena is win/loss now as the others have said. It's unfortunate that the changes to Arena weren't highlighted during the game's lifespan.

wow if it is based on wins and losses im screwed i just got done reading this thread about how arena used to work

http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-general-discussion/98835-h ow-arena-ranking-system-works.html

but it cant be about just winning because as i mentioned i did a thorough researching of peoples stats as i said including win/loss and i seen people vastly beneath me KD wise who also loss more, like my friend i play with he plays games without me and looses most of them so i have a better win record, so how do u explain that guys, and he is rated above me lol?

i dont play with a team, i just play arena with 1 friend of mine who is not very good as i mentioned and this season we loose pretty much every competitive game by 1-4 kills it drives me nuts because i drop a 1600+ rating for the game and we still loose. I cant choose the competition i play against and it doesnt matter whether their bad or good i still do good against them individually winning is another story.

by the way this is my first time playing arena since the second season almost 2 years ago, I got onyx in team arena and doubles arena that season and I played alone even in doubles.

But back to my question is it really about winning now? Cuz research I did seems to not confirm that totally.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

For some reason it isn't based on k/d anymore, and is based on win/loss of games.
Win a lot, and you will go up.

It is by wins only now. All the awesome stats in the world won't save you if you can't win the match.

Would be nice if there was some sort of mini leaderboard you could use to help keep track of where you stand in a division though. Kind of like in Starcraft 2 so you don't track blindly.

Do I even have to explain why that comment did not make any sense? Go back up and look at my original post about my stats. This isnt objective game types this is only slayer, if those stats do not contribute to winning a slayer in arena I dont know what does.

Arena is based solely on Win/Loss and who you Win/Lose to. Keep playing, search with another friend or two and keep winning and it'll improve.

They're not great stats for searching at such a low level. Average at best. Tip, search with at least one other person.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

It's pretty much all about the w/l ratio now in arena, I think that changed over in season 7 or 8. That being said, awhile back there were some threads on trueskill in the arena being messed up due to the low population of that playlist.
