I always think the tournaments are going to be fun, and then I remember that tournament weekends mean every game having several Lords spamming ggclose and being arrogant immediately followed by artillery shells falling like snowflakes on Frozen City.

Module strikes = inflated scores. Welcome to the mandatory "edges" that make competitive games a chore.

well, they are free (not costing real money). Use them and win = more money. Don't use them loose and get less. Kinda see how it works there?

Yeah, I know why it happens. I'm not even trying for the leaderboards at this point, I just want to earn back some of the cbills I spent on my kitfoxes. It's pretty annoying that there's no way to track how many games you've scored over 130 though- and it's doubly annoying that my mental tabulations were all wrong, as I went back and read the rules which state that the cbill reward doesn't count the win/loss section that the normal score does.

I'm in mostly to farm those sweet c-bills whenever I have a good match. I don't really care to hit the highest ranks.

Ten million c-bills is still ten million c-bills. Should pay me for the second Centurion I'll need so when I get the CN9-AH I'll have the trio ready to elite.

[Carrilla]

At the rate I am going I won't get the bonus c-bills even once, nevermind about scoring high enough to make top 15

Crazy how many similar unit tags end up in some matches. Guess that is just luck of the draw to see multiples from a unit in a match on either side.

It's only luck if you think the words " 3 , 2, 1, drop" are magical.

I got 9th place last leaderboard tourny, and I never threw a single match in attempts to lower my Elo.

You also rarely leave the cockpit of your timbergod. Just sayin....

High five elo.

Did you break a mirror, let a black cat cross your path, draw a 13, call Bloody Mary, have a bird come in your window, sweep the floor at night, and open an umbrella indoors?

Doesn't really have much impact on position in the leaderboard when everybody else in the Clan Heavy bracket is also running timberwolves

Now if this was an overall leaderboard, you would have a good point.

getting some phenomenally terrible teams this morning. Also seems like I have a giant ******* 30000% sized marker floating above my head to be primary target for the enemy team. Along with the constant screen freezes and ctd it is not fun.

But how the hell do you explain the long ass loss streaks with just elo rating? Does it place the same elo players on the same team or something? So poor elo players are always on the same team, therefore you never get out of the **** ball elo hole, therefore, endlessly losing? Therefore, the game is always rigged to give you hte losing side? elo is ******** period anyway....it should just pick 12 mechs and go..12 mechs and go...

100% agree!!

thats exactly what i'm saying.

guess ya gotta blame something

[Black Ivan]

Not fun at all. Either the team fires on itself to steal as many kills as possible or a full lance just hides out until all others are dead to farm up the kills.

One victory out of 14 matches is telling.

The number that counted is on the tournament results page.

Yeah, I totally derped, found that number a few minutes ago. Thanks for the heads up though.

So what do I need to do per game to get 2k score, how much kills, assists, damage? I see the formula but how does it relate to end result?

So let's say I made 5 kills, 5 assists and 1k damage, it would be 1165 poits and if I repeat it 10 times it would be 11650 in the score board? Doesn't look like it will.

People who boost their Elo's in the group queue just meeting the harsh reality, it's not that surprising.

no.

5 kills: 5x20pts = 100
5 assist: 5x10pts = 50
the 1156 damage - subtract team damage (assume 0 for this) divided by 15 = 77

add the 3 numbers 100+15+77= 227*

that 227 is then added to the 9 other top matches you had.

say you had 10 matches with those exact numbers 227x10= 2270 tournament score
