[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Colin KAPOW thing is that my skill in TS is 21, even tough my friends whom have played longer are all in about 17-18, yet we almost always DESTROY our opponents, and their skills remain rather constant, and mine increases (i usually get MVP or at least the best K/D ratio), so i think that MVP or K/D ratio does matter in TS in this week i have won at least 90% of my matches, including a shotty sniper on highground where i ended up as the only one n my team against 3, yet still won perhaps crazy feats boost up the "sigma" asnd allowed my to jump 5 levels in as many games[/quote] You said it yourself, they have been playing longer then you. the more you play the slower you rank up and or down.
