1. What is the Brawlhalla ELO System?

The ELO rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in competitive games like Brawlhalla. It's used in ranked matches to determine matchmaking and rankings.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the ELO formula:

Where:

• \( R_{new} \) — New ELO rating (dimensionless)
• \( R_{old} \) — Current ELO rating (dimensionless)
• \( K \) — K-factor (development coefficient)
• \( S \) — Actual score (1 for win, 0 for loss, 0.5 for draw)
• \( E \) — Expected score (probability of winning)

Explanation: The equation 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 realistic goals, and understand the ranking system's mechanics.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current ELO, K-factor (typically 32 for new players), actual score (1, 0, or 0.5), and expected win 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 rapid rating swings.

Q2: How is expected score (E) calculated?
A: \( E = 1 / (1 + 10^{(opponent\_elo - your\_elo)/400}) \). This calculator assumes you know this value.

Q3: Why did my ELO change more than expected?
A: Beating a much higher-rated player gives more points, while losing to a lower-rated player loses more points.

Q4: Is this the exact formula Brawlhalla uses?
A: Brawlhalla may use a modified version, but this is the standard ELO formula used in many competitive games.

Q5: How often should I check my ELO?
A: Checking after each match can be stressful. Consider reviewing after 5-10 matches to see trends.
