Hi
(I know the difference between in-game rank, XP rank, and I understand ELO and how it works)
I am surprised to see a ton of people in my skill bracket (say rank 100-300) with really nice win rates - talking about win rates of over 60%-70% with over 100 games played per faction. To me, that is an awesome win rate, because with a properly working matchmaking system players (except unique talent) would naturally fall within 45-55% win rate.
I don't understand... how do they win so much yet stay at this rank? Whenever I win a game, I go up by 30-40 ranks easily. Yet it appears they keep pwning people and stay low rank
Not that I care that much about Win/Loss, but when I play 1v1, I mainly get to play against people of my rank, and rarely do I play against much lower ranks. Heck, I once played Jove 3 games in a row.
I wonder how they do it :|
matchmaking, ELO, and win/loss

Timezone might have a lot to do with it. North American time zones probably yield a large playerbase in automatch. Those of us on sparse longitudes are more likely to get poor matches in which you can stomp people lower-ranked than yourself more often.

Timezone. If you play around GMT 18:00 you'll find lots of people. If you are from NA or Asia it's more than probable that you have half of the peak of players on a day.
My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Play off-peak hours, stomp noobs, get wins, don't get ELO.
Beating a lot of noobs will not give you nearly the same ELO boost as beating single good player with higher rank then yours.
You can't really cheat ELO system with high W:L ratios.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.
