"A player’s rating will only go down if they are beaten by a player who has a lower rating than theirs. In this case, if the 1350 player lost, their score would not change since the Match Maker was correct in its prediction."

So given this bit here that Paul posted in Command Chair, does this mean that if some brand spankin newbie just happens to briefly pass a laser over my near cored torso and kills me I'll lose "ranking"?

Or will it go by whatever player did the most damage to you?

It's difficult to measure in a random pug game. I would think it would be better if it was Team Average Rating vs Team Average Rating. If you get saddled with a team of low-rated players, it wouldn't be your fault (too much) if you lost to a team full of high rated players.

They also need to separate it for pug games and 8-man team games. Until they allow you to create official teams with a fixed roster to get team ratings (like in WoW), it's gonna be hard to imagine how the system will work with randoms.
