Im just wondering how this comparison is made between if im solo dropping or dropping with friends. Seems no matter if i drop solo or with my group my win ratio keeps going up. Losing around 1 in 4-5 games at most in the past couple days and its just not balancing out. I was even running horrible mechs just to master. Whats the best way to get it to balance me out to the right bracket? Don't get me wrong winning is fun but i would much rather have a more balanced match and far less avalanches. Doing 750 dmg in a 4x raven just seems ridiculous to me.

Keep playing games. It'll probably take several weeks before things balance out to a more reasonable level.

Play more. The more you play, the more data it has to work with, and the more points it gives you. It's going off team averages, so ELO shift is lower then if it was just 1v1, but thems the breaks.

Im currently in the same boat.. I chalked it up to 100% pug b4. Im sure we will both find ourselves in higher and higher brackets.
Also,, I just turned a major corner in the game.. In a relatively short period of time I went from a .54kd to 1.4 and climbing.. fast.
So, My battlefield confidence is high and perhaps ive become in this game a dude who can actually swing a game in my favour.
Maybe u 2?

If you weren't PUG-stomping in the two weeks leading up to Phase 3, you're probably in a much lower bracket than you deserve. Eventually, you'll get to where you belong; don't worry. Also, remember you have a different ELO for each weight class.

It was only introduced recently, so it could be that those previous games didn't collect any of the data needed.

That is the key. It is not all of your games right now. They only went back 2 weeks for the roll out of Elo. From now on it will count all games.

Every weight class seemed the same to me, light, med, and heavy. Haven't rocked assult much in quite a while. But have put in i would say at least a couple hundred games since elo. I hope this gets tweaked. Thanks for your thoughts though everyone. I would say 50 percent of my games are solo drops. Just seems the same no matter what class or who i drop with. So weird!

ELO only started seeding after Feb 4's patch, so you've got 2k games under the belt, but only 4 weeks worth of ELO data.
