earlier I made a complaint about Halo's matchup system that I would like to retract or at least amend
|
it bothers me to see the matchups when I have a level 7 skill ranking, and the other guys have in the teens to the low 20s and the server matches us up with a team with skills all in the low 20s
I know instantly that I am overmatched and I am a weak link for my teammates. So I wish the server would put us more with teams that had a couple guys in the twenties and a couple lower ranked guys in my skill level range.
However, after looking at the ranking requirements, and then reading the true skill system explanation, maybe I shouldn't complain as much.
You gain points for winning games and lose points for losing. However, if you lose against a higher ranked team, you don't lose as many points as you would against a lower ranked team. And if you win against a team with an average skill level above yours, then you gain a lot more points than you would against an equal or lesser skilled team.
So maybe I'm the sandbag on the handicap.
