Well, I hit 5 stars

L-Spiro, I usually considered you a good poster and I never heard you say very much in terms of flames towards other posters but this post makes me change my opinions of you quite a bit. there was absolutely no reason to post this except to vent which I can not appreciate in the slightest bit.

You could have just left...

Your previous opinions are far more accurate.

This was the wrong topic for what I had to say, and I didnt really need to say it at all.
Real-life problems have been mounting for a while now and in the last few days this is not the only place where I have been out of character, on an unusually loose trigger, venting online to make up for the fact that I have nowhere to vent in real-life.


However, I was already looking back on this thread and considering the error of my way.
It doesnt matter what is happening in my personal life. This is not the place to vent, this was not the thread for what I wanted to say, and what I wanted to say didnt need to be said.


Fret it not, mi amigo.
Until these personal issues blow over, I will be taking appropriate measures to make sure this does not happen again.

finally reached 5.0 by intentionally avoiding in-progress games

normally I'd always lose like 0.5 on my first game by joining late, then only play enough in a row to make it back up.. end up going nowhere

They really need to fix that. The amount you can gain or lose should be multiplied by (TimeYouPlayed / TotalMatchTime).

k

I went from 5.00 stars to 4.17 when I joined a game ten seconds before it ended. I switched servers after that, and I went from 4.17 to 3.78 when I joined two minutes before it ended. Ugh, haha. After around fifteen more games, I've pushed it back up to 4.8 or so.

Since I don't want to start another thread about it...


GRAAAH!! 1 kill away! ONE from the 25streak protag
But NOOO, my team just had to finish off the MB before I could get those last few shots in

Bastages...

Life is hard. My tip for you is: spawncamp more.

Actually at that point I was

What a horrible person you are.

Somebody followed my advice, alright he did it sooner than i said it, but somebody followed my advice, OH MY GOD. Just trolling.

They were barely making it out of their base at the time anyway

Horrible person, oh so horrible.

I'll say it before, I'll say it again. There's something wholly weird about individual ratings in a team-driven game.

Especially since they are only determined from K/D, because healing, or assists don't seem to do anything, and it's a team game... *sigh*.

Welcome to my world.

Yeah, the star rating is totally K related, which is why it increases for me in skillplay...

Not anymore. Bots play a huge factor now. If you decide to go forever-alone and play a game by yourself, you can move you star rating up from just the bot kills and turret kills.

...
edit:
Sensing sarcasm. Use of "yeah" and "totally" and "..." are strikingly suspicious.

Yeah bot kills are definitely a factor now. Really I think the star system needed to include a lot more in terms of promoting teamwork before it was implemented in the first place.

I would factor in heals and assists. Mainly because a good support will be mostly healing with his firebase doing the killing and even then its kind of hard to get what is considered "good" by other class standards.
