will the skill level be calculated the same way as in BF4? ---

They were prototyping new methods in the CTE for BF4, so I don’t think they were happy with how the current system works. ---

i never understood how some ppl with 40%percent quit rate would still get extremely high positive skill. i always thought you should lose skill for quitting. and disconnects and quitting can be separate stats if they want to, they can tell the difference. ---

Skill is a dumb stat. Dice needs to stop using broken ELO formulas in a game with 64 players. that’s not what the formula is designed for. ---

Yeah the BF4 way is horrible and I’m sure they know that. Question is, will they actually do something about it. ---

The worst was losing skill for quitting and not even stepping foot on the battlefield! I agree op skill stat needs a rework! ---

Just take out the skill stat. It has no bearing on a game that’s supposedly teamwork focused. If you’re going to implement a skill-based matchmaking system, then keep it simple and base it off of total points earned during a match (or an average thereof). ---

Take it out, and use a simpler scoring system with a report on what you did on a certain match. ---

I think what they should have, if any, is 2 skill levels. Personal skill and team skill, that way you can see is that person is a team player or not. ---
