How are the points calculated in the ranked beta?

[Equiem]

It's true that at some point noone can get past a certein ELO, the important thing is that this point differs from player to player. Some players might reach their max ELO at 1600, some at 1800, some at 1850 and some might get to 1900 or even 2000. I don't know which ratio you need to have on average to get to 1950, but I do think that your ~3 to 1 ratio is not even close to what is possible, you might have just reached your peak faster as you played more than others and now you struggle a bit to improve (which naturaly takes time).

I understand what you mean and thats why I added the last section. Its not hard at all to win a lot when the teams are even and a 3:1 doesnt sound that much but considering who you play with its a whole other thing. I would rather play with bots on my team then any team you're getting above ~1850 rating, you just dont stand a chance.

But I really feel like you should try setting your ELO to say 1900 and play a few games, its a Drastic difference from 1800 and up.

Maybe its just me thou and I do get it. I'm eagerly awaiting CoMPee to get a bit higher since I would like to hear what he thinks since I know he's a much better player then I am.

Edit, just to underline:

Around 1900 rating you loose about 13 points a game and win a maximum of 5 and keeping up a 3:1 record with those teams that you're getting is just ridicoulus. Just winning all the time is fairly easy when you're getting even teams but when you're also the constant underdog it just gets frustrating.

^ This is the main problem, not keeping a good record.
