[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Kn0t TiEd I don't get it... based on this explanation, you are encouraged to play streakily so your rank can go up. But what if your a beast and win 300 games in a row? According to this explanation your sigma would be REALLY low making it almost impossible to rank up. But that makes no sense. If your undefeated you should be able to easily rank up since the system should know that your very good and won 300 in a row right? For example, i've played maybe 150 team slayer games and have only lost around 25. That puts my WP% around 84%. Shouldn't I be able to rank up easily? It seems like this system is designed to punish those who are good and win consistently. Thoughts?[/quote]Winning 300 in a row would increase your sigma. The system arranges matches so you have a 50/50 chance of winning (ideally). If you are winning all of those, you gain MU (skill) and gain sigma (uncertainty) since the system doesn't expect you to win all of them. If you win and lose predictably, you will have a low sigma. If you lose all or win all, your sigma will increase since this shows the system your current skill level is inaccurate. This is generally speaking, there are some other factors at work like skill level of your opponents and match quality but for the most part, winning consistently will increase your sigma.
