Also, it's mathematically impossible for the results of this poll to be accurate. If one person's KDR or W/L goes up, another person's must go down. So the number of people going up *must* be equal to those going down.

Lies. Bacon and sausage on a sandwich are a dream come true.

I haven't played many games but both have gone up. Did they announce when ELO ratings started recording and how ELO is split up for your mechs? I'm guessing a couple of weeks ago and just by weight class so light, medium, heavy, assault. Which could make sense for why I've had both wins and kdr go up, For the couple of weeks before ELO I was running a spider 5v, commando 1B, Raven 3L (few games with 2x and 4x), Cataphract 3d, and a Atlas D-DC. Where as after ELO I've only ran the Raven 3L and Atlas RS, so I'm guessing my ELO for lights was lower than it would of been if I had only ran the 3L and the Assault ELO probably isn't to off since I'm doing ok with the RS and didn't run a ton of games with the D-DC before.

Why do people assume Founders are good players? The only requirement was like $60 or more free in your pocket

No skill involved with that...well maybe some interwebz skillz to know about the Founders program!

stats going up slightly but they were before Elo (learning curve on the mechs are run are about done, haven't started any new chassis yet to learn so K/D is going up, W/L about the same)

44 games since Elo re-patch. No change. Still 1.5:1 w/l and 1:1 k/d.

[El Bandito]

My KDR is roughly the same (2 kills per match on average), but my W/L ratio went down noticeably. I blame it on my teammates who die in the first 2 minutes while doing 20 damage.

Both of mine have gone up a lot. I wouldn't know ELO was on unless someone told me.

Fame is the name of the game here

[Vassago Rain]

K/D up around 1. Win percentage largely unaffecteöd.

[ICEFANG13]

I'm honestly not saying it for that reason. I played like 50 games today, lost a couple I think (can't even remember), KDR went from 9.63->9.87, killed a lot, died once or twice.

Having a 9.87 is insane to me no need to be humble. Do you drop solo in that Jenner?

Almost never alone, usually always with 1 friend, often with 2, not usually 3, but sometimes. I prefer 8 mans, but usually we don't have enough people that want to play on 8 mans with the users that do.

[Orgasmo]

Slight increase in K/D ratio, about the same in W/L ratio.

I have no idea since I can't see my Elo, but at the same time I figure if I am the only one on my team doing something right it is hard for me to prevail.

I feel like the problem with Elo at the moment(which I assume will be fixed with time) is that many people have inflated Elo from the days of "pug stomping" and if you luck out you end up playing with said players against those that have actually earned their rating.

Especially as a light mech pilot, if three out of four Atlai charge and die in 2 minutes, there isn't really much I can do other than either cap or try to take as many enemies with me as I can.

Also, I am not hating, merely commenting on what I notice.

Ever think that because you're a light pilot that maybe YOUR Elo was inflated? I hate to be the **** that calls it like I see it, but these last two patches have put a lot of light mech pilots in their place.

Seeding for ELO started 2 weeks ago. No stats from before are taken into account.

Even in a streak-ECM-light you cant do wonders anymore after the hitreg got improved imo. Cant really comment on this as i dont play lights anymore because i get ***** by 3Ls and 2Ds (refuse to run those) even if i train them into the rest of my PUG drop...

K/D up. W/L is still the same.

Nah, I actually lose quite often both pre and post patch, when all the assaults and heavies on my team get rolled, it is hard to do much about it. Especially when the enemy team then puts four of their own assaults inside our base.

However, as a dedicated light *****, I can say the last patches have made the game so much better for me, most of the bad pilots have gone to heavier mechs, the ones that remain are either quite good(which is fun) or free kills(either new players or those unwilling to adapt) and there are not four or more Raven 3Ls per match(even though they are still very common).

Some of you guys need to realize not all of us were sync dropping, 4-man using, lagshield pilots before or after the patch.

I played 4 1/2 hours before ELO went down the first day, and not once in those 4 1/2 hours was I in first place for damage. Well today I find the matches are all over the place, either they are well balanced or they are way out. Iike one time I did over 1K damage and had 6 kills and maybe even the seventh, while another game I did 800 damage and one kill and we lost with 4 people on my team doing less then 100 damage.

My K/D is going up and my W/L is about the same, in fact how will my ELO go up if I keep having games where a large percentage of my team is doing less then 100 damage.

[urmamasllama]

oddly enough my k/d has gone up while my w/l has gone down :/

[Mycrus]

Been pugging constantly - kdr same at 1

Wlr dropped from 1.4 to 1.2

So it means ELO is working...

I get teamed up with better players vs better players...

[MayGay]

My KDR is up, but I just put together a pretty powerful stalker build last week that I can attribute to this as I was getting many more kills than usual before ELO and that same trend has continued at the same pace
