The gamerscore you see at end of match has no real relation to your ELO. See this weeks patch notes.

I'm gonna laugh when all of the usual suspects vanish from my ghetto games for a week, and all the whine threads pop up.

It'll be the second coming of the 8 manz.

I love people who don't read patch notes and then assume the sky is falling because of some random thing that isn't even true.

ELO ratings remind me of chess ratings. Do well against an opponent above your rank and you get a lot of points (20+) do well against someone below your rank and get a few points (8 or less).

Maybe because ELO is what they use for chess ratings? Lol.

Last "ask dev" post stated they were probably going to do a stat wipe on "production"/Gold.

Wait, so I should stop doing this?

there is no way stats recorded at this stage can form a meaningful ELO.

Matches are still constantly launching 6v8, 7v8, 7v6, etc. and currently it looks like your "match score" is mostly based on damage, favoring heavy/missileers. Just seems like a bad idea to be taking data seriously from this period.

Dude, why didnt you type that in all caps so that people would listen to you?

And 8v7 happens how many times out of 100 drops?

20-30? More? A disconnect, afk or bot player is effectively a mech down at the start.

[80sGlamRockSensation David Bowie]

So, what significance does match score do? other than highlighting who did the most damage regardless of kills/assist?

I hate to crush your dream, but matching score seems to be based mostly on damage, so it's rare to see any 3Ls score consistently high on the list.

LMAO you're kidding right? I get on avg 400-600 dmg on my 3L. Hell my VERY first match with the 3L before getting ANY xp's I did 943 dmg with 6 kills and 2 assists lol.

I bet a PUGger with a high Elo can't find matches, or the matches he drops in are 8v6s because the MM will try to use people of similar rating, but at the higher level only premades exist, so you end up with 2 premades on one team, 1 on the other and 2 randoms, but can't find anyone else not in 4mans, or it grabs lower elo rated players to fill in for target practice for the 2 4mans.

Working as intended.

lol, why the hassle about all the stats?

ELO is just an evolving rating to help matchmaking.., and it will also evolve with the game when game mechanics changes etc..

get a life and just enjoy the game.

A question to those complaining about the Raven 3L what specifically about this Mech is overpowered because when you actually play them or look at the stats you will see the Jenner still comes out the better Mech due to better weapon locations and the ability to dump a bigger engine in it. The only thing the raven has over the Jenner is ECM, so i am curious is it the MECH or ECM you dont like?

As mentioned, those match scores you see are not your ELO. The ELO is hidden at the moment; no-one sees it except specific devs for debugging, and the CSR team for when they need to investigate user reported matchmaking issues.

So will our ELO show up at the end of matches or will it be visible through the Website?

No, by all means, keep recording stats.

Players who depend on the crutches of sync-drops, or exploiting Raven 3Ls will find themselves at a VERY high ELO rating.

When their crutches are removed, all they will have left is their epeen getting crushed by players who actually know what they are doing as they see their stats plummet by playing against actual good pilots.

I see no problem. Karma will sort the matter out.

Dude I cant fix anything? LOL

I think in this game ELO is pretty useless other than seperating beginners from experienced players.
Teamplayer should be measured in some way by their takedowns that they commit as a team.
I mostly play with 2 friends and when we are assault or heavy we focus one enemy assault at long range and then initiate the brawl. (Which works fine except when our team is asleep) or when we are packhunting in lights we take out thier lights one by one and then remove their ecm mechs.
If the enemy is not in a group that counters our attack they are doomed because there is no way a single mech widthstands a 1v3. That being said their main priority should be to fix/establish ingame VOIP

[Huntsman]

What's with this buzz word all of the sudden? ELO? Electronic Lights Orchestra? Right, it's got to do with rankings, but the sats screen talks about KDR and w/l. Where is this "elo" rating everyone seems intent on discussing?
