[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Domino Theory 2 I think so. With Team Slayer, I'm going in with relatively the same people (it changes between or two guys at times). But in Team SWAT, it's my friend and I who go in together and get paired up with randoms (same goes with our opponents).[/quote]Baaaaaah is right. In TS you've played a ton of games and in SWAT you have less games played. Playing with randoms seems to level you up faster than playing with the same few teammates all the time. I know it's bunk but you are just going to have to keep playing and winning to get that 50 in TS. Play with one good partner and pick up a couple randoms. Set your search to closest skill and hope the system gives you a good run of games with opponents equal or higher that you. I've got a ton of TS games played myself. I lost one, went down to 44 playing with some friends a while ago so yesterday I decided to play with some randoms. It took me 3 wins to get my 45 back (after taking 1 loss to go down) and then I won the next 4, lost one, won the next 5 and still did not go up to 46. I've strung a good 7-8 wins in a row and not gone up to 46 playing in a team of 4. It seems that just 1 loss can set you back a lot, even if their skill levels are close to yours.
