on your player cards, you'll see a little arrow at the top left, flip it and you'll see your level. Altough for me it seems lelic didnt implement a matchmakng system because me and my friend always get a level 30 on our team and the enemy team are all teamspeak fegs that are vet 100 livestreaming their stomping on twitch while being sponsored by awful tutorial videos on how to blob and counter tactical play...

yea
COH2: Beginner's Guide - Matchmaking

Placement Matches

Your first 10 matches with every faction, in each game size (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4), with or without an arranged team, are considered placement matches.

You may find yourself matched with opponents much better or worse than yourself during your placement rounds. This is intentional and allows the game to calibrate your ELO+ rating, thus giving you opponents similar to that of your skill level from the 11th game on.



What is ELO?

When you click “Search” to initiate a multiplayer game, the inbuilt Matchmaker swings into action. The Matchmaker makes use of the ELO+ system, using hidden skill rankings to match you against players of a similar skill.

Upon the conclusion of a match, your ELO+ rating will be adjusted by the Matchmaker.

Beating a player with significantly more ELO points will net you a large increase in your own points, and a large decrease in theirs. Losing a match to such a player will result in a small drop in your points and a small gain to your opponent.

Vice versa, beating an opponent with lower ELO points will not contribute much to you, while losing means a large drop in your points.

There may not always be a player similar to you in ELO points searching at any given time. While the Matchmaker will always attempt to give you a reasonably balanced match, if enough wait time passes, the Matchmaker will gradually increase the ‘skill band’. This may result in you facing players with a greater ELO point difference from what you would usually expect, under the ideal circumstance.

After 10 placement games, you will receive a rank on the Company of Heroes 2 Leaderboard. Your rank is awarded based on the number of ELO points you have. The actual number of ELO points you have accumulated is not displayed.

Note that your in-game level is not related to Leaderboard placement at all. Players may have similar skill, but vastly different levels, depending on how much you have played.

Your rank is faction and mode-specific. Should you finish your placement matches in 1v1 with the Soviet Union only, for example, you will still be unranked for 1v1 as every other faction, and 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 for all factions.

Arranged teams are given a separate rank. This has no bearing on individual 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4 rank.



COH2 ELO Formula

The ELO formula, as applied at the end of a game:

ExpectedResult = 1 / (1 + 10 to the power of ((Opponent Elo – My Elo) /400))
ActualResult = 1 if I won, 0 if I lost
Elo change = 32 * (ActualResult – ExpectedResult)

I hope it has helped you better understand how this works.

A bit late but I have a question. How do I get rank like I see in screenshots section? Like US Forces 1 vs 1 Level 20?
