I've been playing since it was introduced and this is normal game I get. Only thing that is actually changed is that my win % is now over 90. When exactly am I supposed to get on 'my level'? Next year?

All I see is a really sad attempt at someone trying to be subtly smug over a half-finished video game v0v

Idk, I've either been winning most of my matches or getting matched against an assault mech... in a trebuchet. I am confused by that.

There are also a lot of 7v8 matches, like every other match.

According to announcements within weeks

Besides the weight (which I have heard IS coming) ELO has been working just fine for me. I finally have team mates that will communicate back to me almost every match.

Subtly smug? I'm the best player in mwo currently. Only way for someone to top me is if I quit playing.

maybe there's not a lot of folk at your Elo playing at this time so it has to stretch the boundaries more to get a full group and so you find yourself with a lot of lower Elo players in your groups? then you smush them.

Wow, you got the highest score in your 7th grade sped class quiz. I believe congratulations are indeed in order sir.

I won't mention the fact that I've never heard of you, and you didn't win that tournament last weekend.

Elo is very broken. I was on a team with Garth for crying out loud.

Because if you spent hours upon end playing a game and if you're known by zverofaust then you are VERY special (no offense intended to those who played the tournament). You did not win it either?

7th grade sped class quiz? Wooot? :DDDDD

And nothing like a grinding challenge to tell who is the best player, right?

Your idea not mine. If you did not post that piece of crap this morning then you would not have me.

You sound kinda mad. But yeah m8 Broceratops would strap a leash around your neck and take you for a walk, son.

Its called being in a lower ELO bracket due to extensive Pugging. Enjoy it while you can, I know I'm loving the kills I'm getting now, its hilarious. All Stats are going to be wiped soon. When that happens, we all will start at ground zero for ELO and we will be put into skill buckets fairly quick.

You could try playing at European times. There are fewer players playing at that time and you get to fight against a very dedicated group of niche players who will kill you quite easily. There isn't enough players at that time to get the benefit of a full ELO ranking all the time.

[Grraarrgghh]

Congrats on your big win, but I thought you were posting proof of something.

No. Nothing you do makes you look good unless you get your act together.

Why would they bother wiping ELO ratings right after staging a whole weekend tournament specifically designed to seed ELO rankings?
