I have read many posts of people wanting to see their ELO score, and understand why it can't be released.  Add to this the gut punch that can be a roflstomp, as well as the matchmaker, and we have a situation where it's can be hard to figure out why you lost or won.

Well, if the matchmaker adjusts win/loss ELO based on team aggregate (according to the devs), why not let us know at the game summary screen? It would not be an individual score, because you don't know the disribution in your group. If I just lost a match 0-8, I'd be more likely to hit play again if I saw that the MM only gave me a 10% win chance.

Phase two- bonus cbills for any team with less than x% odds of winning!  This would stop punishing  people who lose just because the playerbase is too small to find them a good match (i.e. odd hours).

And the odds that this gets added? 0.42%!

I would say don't worry about it, the concept of applying an Elo score to an individual based off of a group event is and will always be extremely flawed, due to the lack of stability in the variables.. it real life Elo systems it does not happen, here it does.
And any information gathered from it would be based off of a variation of the Chaos theory.. if you plot an infinite number of data into a formula a picture will emerge, ask anyone whos has ever played with fractals before, you are just one of many dots on a Barnsley fern... today you will be the Tip of the leaf, tomorrow you will be the stalk.. its pretty to look at but not worth much really..

Nahhh just vehemently opposed to knowing anything about the ELO. I was for a moment thinking perhaps the Start Screen could tell us the average ELO of our team but then ELO crazed people would actually start grouping up and bouncing people in and out of their groups to determine what their scores were.

So yeah... NO!
