Clearly you underperformed there. The system expected you to get 250 eliminations. You barely carried.
I don’t know what you’re complaining about.

Same here buddy. Can’t wait to not be hamstrung by this games matchmaking anymore.
The game can put me in FFA lobbies against anyone it wants. I’m confident in my ability and am relishing the prospect of seeing how high I can get on the leaderboards.

I carried against a favored team with a 13,000 skill point difference and still lost points for winning 1 round

LOL, I’ve been in Diamond 2 for few days unfort. Every time I drop little lower in percent I get a decent team, when I’m at promotion it’s always afkers, feeders, green players, quitters and (worse of all ) chokers against a stack or more. Then there’s all that and then the games that have icebound/bunker in rotation and ppl actually vote for them.
Like y.
System might be working the way it’s intended, in fact it’s not really all that different than before from my perspective but, matchmaking really soils the entire experience.
I know right, i would rather hammer a nail through my hand than play those arguably worst in the series maps

A friend of mine lost 6000 points in the first round of TDM. This is absolutely ridiculous. He did earn positive points after winning second and third round. Also he had MVP 27-6.
Just imagine if we would of lost that match. That would of knocked him down to bronze.
There seriously needs to be a cap on points gain and points lost. Nobody should have to see numbers like that.

I have never seen points in the 1000’s like that before Jesus, mine are always in the 100’s, I was diamond in gears 4 btw lol
The most I have lost is 4K and we won the match. I typically get onyx3 in four and five.
You lose more points at lower rank tiers. It’s relative to the 20k total and the fact only a certain percentage of players can be in each given rank.
You lost 6k but look at how much you stood to gain, about the same. The more you go up the values you gain and lose become less, if you go down it’s the opposite.
Around Gold to Onyx values are between 500-100 in terms of gain/loss.
Diamond + the values are like 70.
D3 and Masters it’s around 10-30 on average ( you can gain more than the here if you perform exceptionally well, just like any other rank ofc).
Losing a 100-200 in Diamond is about the equivalent to this. That could be the difference of a tier because D1 doesn’t start till 19400 or so and at that point there’s only 600 points left in the system between Masters and the other D tiers.
Point is, it’s based on what skill group you’re currently in relative to how much points are left to be gained. (20K)
The higher you go up the system places more expectations on your performance relative to however everyone else is performing at and below your skill group. At lower ranks the system can be very liberal with the points because the expectations for someone perceived to be in the bottom/middle percent of players aren’t high.
So if you perform well you will gain a ton of points until it moves you to a skill group where the performance expectations meet whatever skill level you’re at but the amount you gain or lose from that point is based on what’s left.
That’s mad I don’t think I have ever lost the many points before, I have gained and lost over 1000 points but not over 2k, I have been diamond 3 I’m gears 4 and diamond 2 in 5 but struggling to get there again now lol
…
He lost 6000 points in one round… that’s a bug… no one should ever lose 6000 points in one round, not even a whole game.
This is absolutely absurd lol

The game applys its expectation for you every round not every match.
I don’t think it’s a bug at all tbh. When I did my placement matches, the points I gained were like that until I got to Gold.
It’s demoralizing to see large losses like that, I understand that, but it doesn’t really mean that much if you’re really low because you can get them back just as quickly…
I understand what your saying I play with this person and every game I ask how much points you lost on that match and its always in the 1000’s and its so that good players have to go through this making them want to quit this game.
For every match you play and win points would be taken away on one bad game for all you worked for since you’ve been online and that’s the problem that’s going on there should be no way for this to be happening to anyone especially when you win a game

I’m in forever Silver 3-Gold 1 limbo. Gain 2 to 300 points on wins. Get shot down 2,400 points for losses. Life is a lie.

That’s thing man, once you’re not in Bronze/Silver you don’t lose points by the thousands. You probably could if you play exceptionally bad but you lose points relative to the rank/skill group you are in currently.
If you friend does well in whatever rank he’s at he could probably gain points by the thousands too. That doesn’t happen at higher ranks because it can’t happen. There isn’t thousands of points left when you get there…
It scales.
Could just be one really bad round too unfort. It’s honestly a lot rougher for Diamond players too because their expectations are much higher even though they lose less points for losses.
If you go like 15-3 and only gain 0-10 points afterward (pretty common in high skill games) but have one off game or round you could lose like 20-70 points.
That could be 2-7 games (or more) worth of progress lost just like in lower tiers. The only difference is the points aren’t lost in the thousands but they’re not gained that way anymore either.
The system is brutal and I can’t say a necessarily agree with it but it’s for sure working the way they intended it to.
For better or for worse.
Bronze and Silver are susceptible to huge point fluctuations due to the bulk of players occupying those ranks.
I always see posts about the 2000 pts losses but never the 2000 pts gains. simply showing the player that number is a mistake as it seems to aggravate the average player to the point of them threatening to quit the franchise.
sometimes more information isn’t the best option. I bet these point losses happened in Gears 4 all the time but now that the player sees the big MINUS 2000 POINTS result it’s making them upset.
I was getting 1500-2000 point gains in Silver. Maybe people just arent posting about them.
Honestly, there is nothing wrong with this. The huge point swing is because the game is predicting him to perform at a higher level, and when he did he was rewarded.
