Yep, they do, more about amount of games than actual performance, no?

This argument is, no offense, frivolous.

If someone who played this game could achieve a 10:1 W/L ratio over a period of time, then they'd be at the top of the list.

Let's use a hypothetical, shall we?

Two players have equal ELO, they've been solo-dropping for the most part.

Player A is currently ranked #10 in this tournament for the Heavy Class.

Player B is currently ranked #50 in this tournament for the Assault Class.

Player A has played 60 games, having won 35 of them and having lost 25.

Player B has played 10 games, having won all of them.

Now try and figure out if Player B is actually a better player than Player A, or if Player B simply got 4-man's on his side every time/competent pubs.

If Player A had lost all 25 games but got 7 kills each game, it wouldn't matter at all to any of you since the argument would simply shift back to "Well the guy who played more games only topped because he played more games!" Duh?

This isn't a ladder tournament, there isn't brackets determining who is pitted against who in single combat and so on.

Actually the score system is not bad its just not implemented properly. It should be a ratio of points/games played with a minimum number of games required somewhere between 25-50 over a weekend is reasonable. This way the ratio will show who is the better player.

Remember your team mate said it not me. I didn't even know. Nor did I need to.
Packard made an insult about 'people with no lives' which may have included one of his "friends".

I can just sit back with some popcorn.

Joseph, if anyone cared enough to tell you to stop posting they'd have done so a long time ago.

At least Vass is funny from time to time.

The only good thing to come out this is the fact that I'm seeing these results in most games again:

Yes he is. And I guess I haven't gotten jaded enough, to have pissed off people enough, to tell me to stop posting.

[Night Rider]

average score by the number of games played in that bracket



guy that is on 23th place is by far the best player in that group ;]

But you'll never have a tryhard banner in your atlas at this rate.

I never expected to win one. I'm in it for the fun and to see how I do stack up. Now I have to do it with a few handicaps. Like being at work, while a couple thousand players get to grind.

I wished you good luck and I meant it. Still do to. I see you are 5th place now, That is an awesome acheivement. <S>

How the hell are you guys staying up so long? I played about 30 games, got bored, went out.

[SinnerX]

Are you still running a D-DC while furiously defending ECM as being completely balanced?

Someone has to fight, and fight, and continue fighting, until they become the Gundam of Gundams.

welcome to online forums for a video game, let me translate terms for you:

You just need to get better: Your mech is using way underpowered weapons.
X is fine, you just need to get better: That weapon sucks hard.
Y is fine, just learn to counter it. Y is OP as ****.

Sure. I was running it before ECM had even been added.

You realize this, yes?

I broke 100 Vass,

I'm COMIN FOR YOU MOFOS, even if its short lived.

[Mr 144]

I seriously enjoy trolling Kong and Vass in particular....but not this time. This tourney is an endurance test, and that is no slight on the leaders at all.

Good luck Vass...I gotta sleep...no way I'll be able to grind enough to rank, but i'm doin it anyhow just for lulz. I'm sure I'll drop a few hundred while i sleep
