How far does your rating fluctuate?

[kalpit00]

i guess another important variable is randomness in civs. For ex, i always start the day with random civ with random unselected. Which civ i get is ofc random but soon enough i will have randommed most strong civs and then i sometimes get a bunch of weaker civs on arabia. This fluctuates my elo a lot, especially if there's a lamer civ picker queuing at the same time, in which case i have my preferred 2-3 civs like Hindustanis/Mongols/Meso selected, which further reduces the chances of randomming those civs

maybe I misunderstand what you're saying here, but what civs you got previously doesn't affect the random at all -- you're just as likely to random Hindustanis 10 times in a row as anything else

 

[Memeluke]

my rating stays the same because I haven't played a ranked game more than a year

 

[A_Red_Raven]

11 I admit it could be worse yeah

it could be that i confused random with full random. I know one of those picks takes into consideration your previous civs, dont know which one. if you could clarify that would be great 11

I believe the only difference is that selecting random excludes other players' selected civ, while full-random doesn't, but maybe it was changed/I remember it wrong.

1100-1200 random civ, can't get higher
i almost have the fastest apm among my elo but can't win 11

Yup, none of it takes it into concideration, that's just in your head 11 Full random can make you have same civ as opponent(especially in TG, in 1v1 there is not much chance to get that anyway).
And random makes you to not have same civ as your opponent, but you still can get same civ twice in a row.

LOL so that means the only difference between random and full random is to avoid mirror matchup possibility. cool cool got it 11

Im pretty sure you plebs cannot reach the level of fluctuation xmxb is capable of - from 2k1 to 1k though I think its not because of skill. Kappa

11 I admit it could be worse yeah

How can you even go from 1300 to 800 though?

Anything south of 1000 and the players lack basic game mechanics. a 1300 could probably win with only 1tc fc knights with any civ that gets them, even malay.

My elo fluctuates 1300 - 1150 but i feel like this is largely due to the time of day I play. Sometimes the opponent at 1200 is an excellent player and sometimes they don't know basic unit counters or compositions. Evening and weekends are much easier.

1200-1550 depending on the mappool.

**** happens what else can I say

 

[HongeyKong]

Really depends on map and strat
Id say my base elo (Arabia) is 1500
+100 with towers and forward
+100 with Arena (or some other close maps)

 

[plfan]

On Arabia im somewhere between 1400-1650. I can win against 1,7k today and lost to 1450 tomorow.

On hybrid and clown maps it can be even worse. I don't even now where is the floor, because I stopped playing maps I can't play.

 

[AttilaTheHun]

Do people include smurf accounts as well in the range?

Depends on the number of drinks in the system. 0 drinks =1300. 1 drink =1350. 2 drinks = 1200. 3 drinks = 1100. 4+ drinks = 800
