Strictly off W/L.... Damage Done..... Damage done depending on tonnage difference. Most accurate shots..............

Is it explained somewhere and I missed it.... or they keeping it top secret the way the division lists were made?

Haven't really been tracking it tightly, but as far as I can guess its just W/L.

Seems like a pretty steady -16 so far so maybe that's the cap against a same/similar record opponent.

Yes, we do. It's based off your relative Elo score with the person you're playing against. It's 100% win/loss. Damage done is irrelevant. Did you win is all that matters to your ranking.

Damage does impact payout, etc.

Well thats a bit ridiculous considering the weight differences on some matches.

No, it makes perfect sense. A light pilot who cores you out from behind is 100% as much a winner as the guy who sandblasts you down with 4xLBX10.

It's a matchmaker. Not a score. It measures 'how likely are you to win'. That's it. Not 'how likely are you to blow off both STs and one leg before finishing the opponent'.

Elo is the matchmaker. It is there to do only 1 thing - identify odds of winning between two people. What would be ridiculous would be to screw that up by involving anything, at all, in any way shape or form, except your history of winning.

For better or worse, that's the nature of 1v1s and Elo - All it cares about are who wins and against who. Wins wins wins. How or where or why don't matter.

Elo and Solaris are not set up for casual play. It's set up for people who are trying to win at every stage, with no regards to gameplay or mech variety or weight brackets or whatever. Take it for what it is or get out.

this might give some insight into elo calculation. tho, we dont know the values used


it's propably just W/L, not even facturing in 2-1 and 1-2 in 2v2 queue
