1. What is the Brawlhalla ELO System?

The Brawlhalla ELO system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in competitive matches. It adjusts your rating based on match outcomes and the expected result.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the ELO formula:

Where:

• \( R_{new} \) — New ELO rating after match
• \( R_{old} \) — Current ELO rating before match
• \( K \) — K-factor (determines maximum rating adjustment)
• \( S \) — Actual match result (1 for win, 0 for loss, 0.5 for draw)
• \( E \) — Expected match result (probability of winning)

Explanation: The formula adjusts your rating based on whether you performed better or worse than expected against your opponent.

3. Importance of ELO Calculation

Details: Understanding ELO changes helps players track their progress, set goals, and understand matchmaking in Brawlhalla's ranked system.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current ELO, the K-factor (typically 32 for new players), actual score (1 for win, 0 for loss), and expected probability (0-1).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a typical K-factor in Brawlhalla?
A: New players often have K=32, while established players might have K=16 or lower to prevent large rating swings.

Q2: How is the expected score (E) calculated?
A: E = 1 / (1 + 10^((opponent_elo - your_elo)/400)). This calculator assumes you know this value.

Q3: What's a good ELO in Brawlhalla?
A: Average is around 1200-1400. 2000+ is considered high-level play.

Q4: Does ELO reset each season?
A: Brawlhalla does soft resets where ratings are pulled toward the starting value (1200) but not fully reset.

Q5: Why did I gain/lose more points than expected?
A: This depends on your K-factor and the relative ELO difference between you and your opponent.
