Star Rating is F**ked.

Over the course of 7 games as Assassin, I had one game where I went 3-10 thanks to mortar spam. Every match I had top cash and bot kills, and save for that one game I had a KDR of anywhere from 1.2 to 4. Two or three of these, I led cash by 1k to 1.5k, and my bot kills were 1.5 to 2 times second place. I juiced and wrecked turrets multiple times each game.

My rating dropped from 3.65 to 3.15 over the course of these games. :|

Right now, it's all about K/D for star rating.

I lost .05 points after a KDR of 4, ~150 bot kills, 6 turret kills, and ~$1k lead in cash. That, and with all the people who mention similar experiences, I can't imagine it's -all- KDR. Whatever it is doesn't seem to even be consistent between games.

It's pretty much just K/D. A K/D of 4 is not a whole lot so it makes sense that the system degrades you for that. Perform better and the points increase.

No, it's not

I've had 1v1 games where I go like 7-0 and lose big chunks of rating

Because it's 1v1.

so? The point is that it's not all about K/D

It isn't. It's just pretty much just that.

if you went 7-0 it seems to think you didn't get enough kills to deserve a up rating where if you had of gone 10-0 (just an example) it would go Oh....he did more work at killing people up rating him, something like that.

either way i really don't like it but i still like to stay above a 5, but i mainly go for kills so thats just me (obviously i kill bots to)

It's KDR and money earned per minute. Join a game and quickly kill 2 guys and a couple bots without dying and quit and you'll go up like .2 stars.

Not based on money per minute.

Definitely not cash/time. If I earn $6.5k in a match with a KDR of ~2, my rating theoretically should not drop, yet I watched it go down by .06-.08 each time.

That's nothing, I watched my rating go from 5.01 to 4.07 in 4 games in which we won by miles with a 2.5+ KDR. so there is something definately other than KDR going on. I'ts utterly retarded.

2.5 is not a lot. It makes sense to drop in rating for that.

ok the game will keep boosting you if you seem to get 10+ KD's, which isn't to hard to do so, if you get a 2.5 it will knock you down because its not as high as it seems to allow, but you can get a 5ish KD and go up still, its all really weird and the only way to fully understand it would be to get one of the uber team to explain it to us

k/d still does not show your value as a player
player 1 could go 30 and 0 get no bot kills and not buy any turrets etc
player 2 could go 10 and 10 kill 150 bots keep the enemy turrets down keep our turrets up etc

what player is more valuable?

i know the one that will have the highest rating and i wouldnt want them on my team

Exactly.
