Nonsense rating system

Games Halo Wars Series

So we just played this match:

As the result of our win my mate had his rating increased from Onyx 1619 -> 1631 while mine increased from Onyx 1500 -> 1511.

  1. Nonsense: Even though my mate already had a higher rating, he got a bigger increase.

  2. Nonsense: Our opponents are only at Gold 1 and Platinum 1, so far below Onyx. Our CSR rank increase shouldn’t have been higher than a single point.

  3. Nonsense: If you look them up in the unofficial leaderboard

you will also notice odd things with the MMR rating (can someone explain the exact difference to CSR to me?).For some reason the Platinum 1 player has a higher MMR than I have at Onyx. This is not a result of insufficient matches to properly rank the involved players, we finished around 190 ranked games, they around 90 this season.

Ranking systems are very complex and rely on complicated algorithms and logic that are intertwined. It’s a very delicate system so determining why certain ranking instances/decisions occur isn’t an easy task. I would recommend reviewing the thread below.

MMR and CSR are explained in great detail here: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/58b8518e005f432381ab99fbcaf931e0/topics/matchmaking-feedback-update-–-april-10/3f658003-53dd-47ea-87a1-c0333b58ede3/posts
