I've being roflstomped in 95% matches for several months already and also experiencing terrible queue times. I guess, it's due to my extremely high ELO, cuz several days ago, when we had a bug with new players ELO, I was actually finally put against low ELO players and it was AMAIZING! I have experienced problems with ELO in the past, but usually you simply had to being roflstomped for several hours in order to get your ELO lowered and then you might start playing normally again. But it seems like, that from some moment my ELO just stopped lowering due to my losses. So, is there any way to lower my ELO, other then making new account of course, in order to finally escape from this high-ELO-meat-for-roflstompers hell?

Just keep losing. Or start a new account.

If your consistently losing... Your doing it by default.

No such thing as ELO. It's Elo. It's a guys name.

Then your Elo should already be low.

Could be caused by a very low Elo as well as a high one.

So many assumptions.

A new account starts with an Elo score in the middle of the scale.

They now start cadets in their own queue, at least. I think that's what they did. Some change of some kind recently. And I believe the bug was that after they were no longer cadets, they could not find any matches at all, so I'm not sure how that would affect the OP.

As for the OP: Are you mainly using the solo or the group queue? Elo doesn't mean anything in the group queue. The MM might consider it, but it still doesn't mean anything.

Are you piloting heavies? It could be putting you in games that don't match your skill level very well because the MM is bursting at the seams with heavies and has nowhere to put them.

And lastly... is it possible that maybe, and I'm not saying this is the case, but maybe you are just catastrophically bad, and you are already getting roflstomped in low Elo games?
