You don't get it, man.
2800 is the max. 0 is the minimum. Mid-range is around 1400, right? When you're in your first 25, your Elo is so low that theoretically, you don't enter the main PUG queue. As soon as you hit 26 matches, they give you a score of 1400 and let you go.
So, even if you've managed to work yourself up to, say, 2000 or so, you're WELL within that 1400 point spread the matchmaker has to put to teams together. The higher you are, the more lower scored people you're going to be put with.
There aren't enough 2000 score people out there to put two teams together with. So, if you're at 2000, you're going to be saddled with a bunch of 1400 or less people to carry. Evidently, that's fine with Paul and Russ. Blame them.
Yeah I get it man. I also get a little worked up myself from time to time. I've also seen just how bad you can get when you're feeling it too. You got downright nasty with the team in Crimson Straight a few nights back....though I've been guilty of similar things when I'm feeling that way.
I just couldn't help a little trash talk you a little. You were kinda asking for it with that post.
Anyway, it is what it is. You do well and getting wins gets tougher. Sure it kinda sucks that we're getting handed two full lances of drooling lobotomites match after match instead of being moved up a tier and fighting with/against a better quality of player. But I'm pretty sure you're winning more than your losing like me, having seen you play. Just accept it for what it is for now and don't give up on trying to push PGI into some kind of system that makes more sense.
Mixing true veterans with guys having trouble figuring out how to even power up is definitely frustrating at times. Making things tougher as you get better does make sense, its just tragic that we got the PGI implementation of tougher.
