One of the most common stat checking sites in the Trials of Osiris is [url]destinytrialsreport.com[/url]. This site provides two important statistics that people factor in when analyzing a trials opponent, deciding whether or not to let someone on their trials team, etc. These two statistics are ELO and kill/death ratio (for those who don't know what ELO is, here is a link to a website that explains ELO and the math behind the system: [url]https://metinmediamath.wordpress.com/2013/11/27/how-to-calculate-the-elo-rating-including-example/[/url]). Now, I'm a halfway decent PvPer, so I like to do carries from time to time. However, I am more frequently encountering players with low k/d ratios who have high ELO ratings. When I play with them, I am more likely to lose games, and when I lose games, my ELO drop is greater. In order to address this problem, I took a sample of about 1,600 guardians from [url]guardian.gg[/url], and created a quadratic regression equation that represents the relationship between ELO and k/d. This is the equation that I came up with where k/d (represented by the variable y) is a function of ELO (represented by the variable x): y=0.0000002388x^2+0.00057748x-0.24369 For those of you looking for a target ELO based on your k/d ratio, this equation may be helpful to you. There are a couple things that I took into consideration while making this equation. First of all, since ELO is a very current statistics (not very greatly influenced by past performance) I decided to take a more recent sample of k/d ratio from each player. Hence, instead of using their overall k/ds in this equation, I used their year 3 trials k/ds. Also, I tried to take a sample from various points on the ELO spectrum from about 700 to 2200 ELO (any higher than 2200 ELO, and k/ds will become to various to create a statistically accurate equation). If you have any more questions concerning the creation of this equation, please message me on Xbox live or on bungie.net @Alpha8118.
