Try 2.70 I'll go on a good run, win 70% of last 25, bogus elo up to around 2,000. Matches get progressively more 'challenging' going from bad to worse to impossible. Bogus elo down to 1,400 commiserate with the loses and the algorithm's purposed 'reflection.' Meanwhile, k/d, the one metric that you have more control of as an individual, remains not only steady but on the rise through the wild fluctuations. That's how it works. Specifically, I'm frequently flown into late spawn rescue missions with my team trailing. I get a TON of these. Half a game to play. For the algorithm , less game time = higher probability for manipulated outcome (aka Bungie's theoretical and fraudulent equilibrium). Got one few days back, joined late, down badly, I went 20-2, we won by 1. My team all randoms, opposition was two 2s. Next match, late spawn, down badly, I go 12-1, we won by 1. I was paired with a 3 with poor k/d and not much tactics to speak of. Opposition all randoms. Next match, late spawn, DOWN BY 45, end of match everyone has supers up but me, the team gets trounced I get trounced. Someone attempt (and fail) to argue this isn't sbmm. This is how 'invisible brackets' work. I played on a noob acct over the holidays and it was a -blam!-ing turkey shoot vs opposition with zero map awareness , zero vertical game, and poor gun skill. It was a slaughter....and shocking to see. Anyone with an opportunity, give this a try and see for yourself. Let's be real. If noobs got the MM I get they'd have no incentive to play = current Bungie non-offensive consrtuct = manipulated outcome. End transmission.

I'm getting the same basically. My kda average is deceptive from letting my kids play on my account and from not always taking it seriously. Check my last 15 games or so for a better representation of my own skill level. I really don't object to tough opponents. Those games are great and it's what makes trials so fun. What i hate is being teamed up with really awful teammates. It doesn't feel like a good game as my options are basically run around sweating trying to scrape together some points, or just sit back and die and forget about it.
