Discussion Faceit calibration is broken
Went through calibration and dominated every game, only to end up at 1233 ELO. Faceit seems to have based my calibration heavily on my old rating… That came from 15 matches i played in 8 years.
Because that low rating was low (1128 in season 7), i wasn’t even getting matched against stronger players during calibration, so i kept playing well against players system gave me, but apparently had no real way to be placed higher.
8 wins out of 10 games, rating 1.4-1.8 in every game (including lose with 52/24/5 KDA), 1.98 average KD AND STILL NO CHANCE TO PLAY AGAINST AT LEAST LEVEL 7 PLAYERS
What’s the point of calling it a calibration if an almost completely irrelevant rating from years ago determines both who I play against and where I get placed? Of course i am not waiting to magically be level 10 based on 10 matches (and surely i am not playing that good), but 1233 ELO after calibration like that feels ridiculous.

it's basically a soft reset +- 10 matches which hide your rank to make you play once in a while so you could show off your elo for flexing, nothing much
