[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Psmo290 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Lilsteve61 Can you please explain to me why in the past 20 games(that wev'e one more than half of) i've played with one of my other friends who is very similar in skill and hes has gone up three an i've only went down one on a game that we won? what the heck does this mean? [/quote] your friend went up 3 lvs, and you didn't because he has a better KDR than you. Yours is at .94 while he's at 1.05. Also, he played less games than you so far so his sigma is a bit higher.[/quote]No, K/D ratio has nothing to do with it. In game stats are not used to calculate leveling. However, the last part of that statment is correct. [b]To Lilsteve61[/b] You and your friend have different histories. It doesn't matter that you were at the same level. Each of you got there different ways and so you are going to level at different rates. As far as the win that moved you down a level. You had two DNF's before that win. DNF's don't count until the game is over so the effect of the result can be delayed. Most likely it was the two prior losses that sent you down, but the effect was just delayed and you saw it after the win. [Edited on 12.09.2007 1:33 PM PST]
