Not everything it says are lies, but double checks are always advised when asking questions to an AI. 

Obviously

 

So wth happened here?? Killer scores, full server and some maps went down?? Similar scores on other maps and it went up??

This is why I never bothered with this rating thing lol

You lost rating points/skill points probably because you lacked efficiency or something else during those maps. Having a positive K/D isn't the only criteria to fullfill. For instance, it could be because you missed a lot of shots or because you didn't have sufficient battle sense ? As @Razjee mentionned, the rating points might have went down a little because you didn't enough gather enough XP during the map. It's not always easy to understand, I give you that.

Definitely weird. I get it, though.

Regardless, I know how good or bad I am.

TBH, the number of people on the map has the most to do with it. I think I'm too old to react to over 40 players, so my efficiency goes way down. When it's about 15 per side, it goes up.

Now that I unlocked this, lol, I wanna see if I can get it to move up...dammit!

You know, I get you. Even if I'm way younger than you (22), I also happen to feel overwhelmed with that many players on the server. It's a lot worse when the server is full, because at this point, it's a spam fest. Grenade spammers, mortar, arty, and other AoE weapons are much more annoying. Yesterday, I played on Oasis as an axis, and we were about 50+ players. Spawning was hell, people were blocking pathways so I had to make my way through by pushing them. It's just one example of why it's better to play with 30 players.

There are many things to take into account and the exact formula for if you go up or down and by how much are not publicly known, but I can tell you some things to look out for.

 

Let's compare Goldrush GALS with Goldrush GALS one day prior, and only TSP for now:

 

On 22/10:

- Your rating before map: 11.83

- Your map rating: 9.12

- Average rating server before map: 9.18

- Map rating server: 9.16

- Result: -0.02

 

Conclusion - People on average played according to their rating (9.18 v 9.16), in your case you performed lower than your rating (11.83 vs 9.12) so you go down

 

On 21/10:

- Your rating before map: 11.11

- Your map rating: 9.74

- Average rating server before map: 10.19

- Map rating server: 9.66

- Result: +0.04

 

Conclusion - you performed lower than your rating, but so did the rest of the server. At 11.11 rating, your expected performance on this specific map was less than 9.74, therefore you go up

 

I'm sure you will find counterintuitive examples because I also don't know all of the details, but whether you go up or down should be decided mostly by these factors. How much exactly you go up or down is a whole other thing on top of that.

I got so fed up with playing access on oasis with that many people because of the spawn killing and everything you said that I just refuse to do it anymore. If there’s a reasonable amount of people, that’s a different story.
 

I think I’m crazy anyway, 61 years old and still trying to be better and better at this 20 year-old game lol

I think I’ll just go back to what I’ve always done and try to have more kills than deaths lol it was a lot easier

You don't need to do anything else tbh. It's not like people who play for rating do much more than just trying to frag as much as possible

[-=HipKat=-]

I'm confused. Compare Abbott to me

 

 

We played the same amount of time.

I had a better KDA

I had a better PPM he had a better score per minute but he went up 10 and I went down 10??

 

I guess I don't understand

You need to take your current rank into consideration. If you are higher ranked than him, there's no point comparing yourself to him because you need to play above your own "expectations" to go higher.

I hadn't considered that. Yeah, I looked and I'm rated way above him.

Out of curiosity, how many bots will cause a session to not be ranked? And it is based on an average? The number of bots can change drastically during a map.

OK, figure THIS out

I have NEVER been on that server. I've never even heard of that server. So how is this possible??

If someone plays with the same in-game name as You it shows under this name on TB.

[RNGesus]

I would not truly trust TB rating as many if they are doing bad swap names before the end of the match causing no rating change
