How does ranking work?

[Maltager]

When I win or lose a game, what factors make how much I increase or decrease in rank? Is it just win/lose? Does their rank factor? Stocks? Health? Character? Time?

Thanks for the help.

it's an elo based system on the back end. So your rank is solely based around that. Beat someone in a higher "band" than you and you'll gain more points than beating someone in the same "band".

The "color" (tin bronze silver gold plat diamond) is based on an elo range

example (not exact figures)
500 to 599 elo is silver... 600 to 699 elo is gold... anything less than 400 elo is tin.

the other part of colors is the bars. Lets take that make believe gold and silver figure above
for gold
600 to 619 is 1 bar. 620 to 639 is 2 bar. 640 to 659 is 3. 660 to 679 is 4. 680 to 699 is 5

The other thing to note is "no bar" colors. You achieve a "no bar" when dropping below the minimum level of the number. This keeps discouragement at a minimum as you don't lose the color until you actually hit the level for 4 bar.

example: you're 598 and win a game. You go up to 602 and are now a gold 1 bar. you then lose a game going back to 598. you are now a gold "no bar". You then lose another game and drop to 588 elo. You are now a silver 4.

Hope all of that makes sense to you.

I really think the "colors" should be based on what percentage of the player base you fall into.

0% - 3% = Diamond
3% - 10% = Platinum
10% - 25% = Gold
25% - 50% = Silver
50%- 75% = Bronze
75% - 100% = Tin

as an example, those being completely arbitrary cut-offs of course.

The reason being that elo systems tend to have inflation that occurs, causing the higher ranks to keep expanding. Basing it on a percentage model keeps the ranges of the "colors" proportional to the number of players.

No. Using the % of wins encourages people to play less when in high ranks. Who would you assume the better player is, one who has played ten games and lost two, or one who was played six hundred and lost three hundred something?

I am a gold 2 player, with 346 wins, 311 losses. Should I be put into bronze?

[OnTilt ☦]

Its not based on win percentage. Its based on where you are in relation to the rest of the players. Are you ranked in the top 3%? then you are diamond. Are you in the top 50% of players? then you are silver. etc

[Gollgo]

So what is the problem with the current state? You do well, you go up, you do poorly and you go down.I see this as a very easy way to match people with other's around their skill level, do to well and suddenly you are being squashed by the guys at the top, do really badly and you get to do the squashing to get back up.

Nothing about my suggestion would change the way matchmaking occurs. It only changes what rank color you might have. The purpose of it to help take into consideration elo inflation that almost always occurs in any elo-based system.

there is no exact numbers to advance tiers
the ELO and the tiers (leagues and progress bar) are a bit independent from each other, the ELO just affects the amount of points you gain per win and its not necessarily a skill measurement formula

once you won enough matchs with full bar, you will be placed against someone on a higher bracket, if you win you will advance most of the time

sometimes you will be facing someone from a higher bracket without having full bar, or with a full bar but didnt get promoted, thats probably because that person was about to get demoted and it wasnt your "promotion match"

No, these are the elo ranges for each tier: http://wiki.brawlhalla.com/w/Ranked

You're going to loose a amount of elo after each season, though not very much, if you're high plat you'll be around low to med plat next season
