Which sounds horrible, but it makes sense in a fair match making system that you will lose half the games you play.Īs long as the games you're winning are against better (even slightly better) players, then the magic of the ELO system happens and you slowly start climbing the ranks. Once you've played enough games the match making for 1v1 is extremely fair (at least in my experience). However, you might still lose a few more games untill you fall into your true bracket. If you're above average, then it will place you somewhere +1000. You should be placed below 1000 ELO if you're new to the game. When you lose a game that was highly unfair, your opponent probably won't even get ELO for the win.Īfter these 10 games, the worst is over. So that means that you could land up fighting opponents way more skilled than you. When you start playing the first 10 games of 1v1, they are placement games.
