It is based off of wins in year two alone. So if you have a high win percentage, you will have a high elo, And if you have a high win percentage against very good players, you will have an even higher elo. Your elo is low because your win percentage isn't very good (no offense). Now up to a certain point you gain blame bad teams, but elo takes into account the difficulty of winning each game before determining how many points to give/take away. Basically it sums up all the points on your team versus the enemy team, and rewards/punishes you accordingly. This means that someone with a low KD who works very well with their teammates will have a higher elo than someone who is a lone wolf. In other words you could be carried or brought down by your teammates to an extent, but the higher your elo, the more you get punished (which means if you don't help out against those harder teams you will lose a LOT of elo) and the lower your elo the exact opposite happens. Overall if you are somewhere in the middle the score doesn't mean much, but if your score is high you are probably very good, and if your score is low you are probably very bad. Yours is in the middle which doesn't really tell you much.

  • Well I play only solo so if Win percentage is a big part of the ELO rating then Iam obviously put instantly into a huge disadvantage right off the bat, but thanks for your time of explaining it to me. :-)

  • No problem. And yeah in my opinion ELO really doesn't mean much except for in ToO or rumble. Pre-made fireteams will smash almost all non pre-made teams regardless of skill level of an individual player on the enemy team, and the more people you have on each team the less impact each individual player makes so in 6v6 game types unless you have a pre-made fireteam pretty much everyone ends up around the same average elo score. Basically only rumble and ToO have a fair representation of your skill as far as ELO is concerned, since these game are either ALL pre-made fireteams where each player really matters, or in the case of rumble obviously the only person who matters is yourself.
