Lately,i've played a few TDM's and have started to up my K/D ratio. I was looking at battlelog and saw a game where i was 28k for 19d but my skill level was -0.81. How comes???. Then i found this -
This is what determines your skill level on your stats page:
• You gain/loose SL based on every confrontation with another player
• Killing a highly skilled enemy gives you more points than killing someone less skilled
• Points are not transferred from a player to another, they are simply added/subtracted based on the encounter and the SL of both parts (thus, after an encounter, one part may go up 50 points while the other loses only 20)
• The SL is used for matchmaking
Helpful or not, i don't know. I for one am not bothered.
