Every match. Other than that I don't know much. I think that if you lose 16-14 it's a smaller hit on your rating than if you were to lose 16-4 or 16-0 or whatever. I think valve should let people see what the number is but it's probably a good idea for them to keep it a secret.

I'm almost positive it's on a round by round basis. I've ranked up in like two 16-1 games and struggled to get anything done with seven consecutive 16-13(ish) wins.

It's also why I refuse to vote to surrender. I'd rather be voted off than give up that many rounds for no reason.

e: Every game I've played at DMG/MGE thus far has been a 16-3(ish) stomp. Doesn't matter which way, the games don't even feel remotely competitive.

What I meant by my post was your rank only changes every game but the amount of rounds you get all matter.

lol the way they peeked one by one after they knew exactly where you were.

I like to think that the two of them being late to support their balcony-jumping comrade was thanks to my masterful use of incendiary grenade to delay them, while the final attacker died the way he did because he wanted to know which particular dubstep tune I'd pick in my hour of triumph

Is there any game setting to just permanently disable enemy team communication? I just don't see the point in ever reading enemy text its always just trolly bullshit.

also the rank shift doesn't mean uneven games, as you still get matched with the appropriate elos; it's just that you can only downrank on a loss so your displayed rank is higher than your rank after the shift

Not outraged just puzzled. If the ranking system is such that I am constantly and easily winning every competitive match I am put in (and top fragging as well) then I guess the matchmaking is working as intended!

Yes but don't let it get to you. Chances are you're either at 500 or 1000 and both are fine.

Keep winning more than you lose and you'll rank up soon enough, just enjoy having some easy games for a little while

After the rank shift, I've had a terrible time in MM. Four straight games of griefers and derankers. People running around spawn with revolvers, buying autos then standing in mid with their backs towards mid doors, constantly team flashing...

Usually I can at least keep my cool and try to play while ignoring them, but last night I snapped and killed a griefer on our team in spawn and got a 30 minute comp ban. I can't believe I let them get under my skin like that. Ugh.
